[@billiespence2511]

Ooh Look at her ! That is One determined little girl!!! She gona win , come what may

[@birgitlaks9754]

She keeps herself busy! She's one beautiful little princess.

[@donnalancaster3183]

What good memories this brings back…Thank you for revisiting this time with us.

[@sherryw.1466]

I loved the ending...what a precious little girl snuggling up to her Daddy!

[@lynnmarie6219]

She's so delicate. So very sweet. Babies are all miracles. I love watching Thandie. Very special. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@terripipher1300]

To see this big silver back be a gentle giant with his lil girl is breathtaking 🦍❤🦍

[@cherokeeheartct8633]

For sure

[@loribuchanan4126]

She is the most cutest, mannerly, caring child and seems so curious but carefully exploring and has all the signs of true feelings about others💜🦍

[@sonjavandam1306]

What a clever little angel navigating her way slowly and methodically around the obstacle course to get a treat. Thanks Lieke, nice to have you back 🤩😘🇦🇺

[@denisemorris1177]

I know this is 4yrs old but it came up and I’m enjoying it. Baby girl looks so cute eating with dad and she watched him pick up food off the ground with his mouth, and she does it too. Smart girl! She’s enjoying dad’s food too. ❤❤

[@candykay2585]

Thandie! How wonderful to see her! She is a smart little girl. I was worried she was going to get stuck coming down those rocks, but she was very brave and moved forward. Daddy likes carrots. I laughed him trying to carry so many. That enclosure seems terribly dry and barren. I hope there was greenery somewhere out of camera view. Lieke, you always choose the perfect music to accompany your videos. Thank you for the video.

[@maryzaletel4928]

Omgosh I've not seen many shots where dad lets baby lay and rest against him so quietly. Awesome!Thanks great video👍 She is so delicate yet very busy. Sweetie😍

[@thefierceone27]

Thandie is a beautiful and precious dainty baby girl...it would be wonderful if she and Kintaro became mates when they're older. They are only one month apart ~ 💜😊

[@carlettajames2871]

Yes that will be a joy for those 2.

[@thefierceone27]

@@carlettajames2871 they'd make a perfect couple...both are so adorable. Kintaro is Mr. Personality & Thandie a little more laid back. They'd balance each other. I adore these little baby gorilla's.🦍💛🦍💙

[@stevec6965]

yeah Genki is way to over protective of little kin kin. She has to let momo interact with his son.

[@moniqueshelton2271]

I would love to see that too

[@chericonnolly4810]

Yes Their little faces are similar too. Would be great couple.

What a cutie pie.shes pretty mellow.so grateful to see another gorilla baby thriving.Thank you Lieke❤👯🐵🔆

What a tender moment it was when Thandie laid down next to daddy. I smiled. 🤗 Hope your baby is doing great. Welcome back!

[@sandrapasma788]

This little one is so adorable. You can’t get any cuter then this.

[@eagse]

WOW!!! Look at Matadi, He was born on March 25th 2003 at Twycross zoo, his mother is Ozala n his father was Sekondi (23-Mar-1989 to 26-Feb-2007). At 7 years Matadi was transferred from 23.February.2010 - 04.September.2015 to Paignton Zoo Environmental Park. Then from 4 Sept 2015 till 24.February.2016, he was at Howletts Wild Animal Park. Then from 24.February.2016 he came to Royal Zoological Society of Antwerp. Matadi's now 17 years old.

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

Wow He has seen some places already. Luckily he has a wonderful family group of himself now and he can just stay in one place with his ladies.

[@eagse]

@@LiekesShotOfLife I can't understand is why they have to separate Ozala and Matadi. For Okanda, they had too cos he had very high fever n after he got better, they returned him to Ozala but by that time she rejected him n he had to be cared by one of the staff for a year or so. After that he was transferred to Tierpark Hellabrunn zoo. This is about Okanda how he was hand raised www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2063496/The-gorilla-lounge-How-British-worker-adopted-dying-baby-gorilla-nursed-health-home.html and where he is now at www.hellabrunn.de/en/the-latest-news/news/neues-zuhause-fuer-gorilla-dame-bagira/eacddd7029c544a8db12a6e08687dbe2/news/.

There is nothing funnier than to see that sweet baby just tearing up that hay. And what a sweet relationship with the big guy. She really interacts with him very sweetly.

[@pamelakern2849]

Looks like life is a big adventure for little Thandie. She is such a dear one 💓 Thandie has a clean straw nest to play and cuddle in . I loved the background music!!🎶💖💖

[@capemaxi]

Sound level on music too high.

[@maribelru2011]

Somebody is not sharing the carrots 😆🤣

[@bridgetttubbs9959]

For some reason I always feel sorry for this baby. Mom just lets her go. Like she’s on her own bless her heart ❤️

[@eagse]

WOW!!! Thandie has really grown and is now 1 year old. How time flies so fast..... It would be so nice if she could only meet her grandma Ozala. It's a pity they separated mother and son so early too. Thandie's uncles Lope and Shufai would really enjoy playing with her. I can just imagine.... LOL haha If ONLY...... Thanks so much for sharing.

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

That would have been lovely. Hope you can enjoy it a little bit over distance by watching videos and pictures of them :). Thank you!

[@eagse]

@@LiekesShotOfLife Oh yes I'm really enjoying what you and SV share about Matadi, Mayani n Thandie; Oumbi, Ozala, Lope, Shufai, Bidi and Asanti from Twycross Zoo, UK. Thank you so much.

I finally subscribed. I've missed too many of your vids, and I don't want to miss any more. I've wasted two years looking at macaques and baboons, which I think are the scum of the primate world. No more of that foolishness!

What happened to her bottom thats not good .poor baby

[@marthawelch4289]

That is her baby tuft of white hair. It lets other gorillas know that she is young and does not know full gorilla ettiquette yet. As she grows up it will darken. I learned this right here in Lieke's KZbin videos/comments.

Martha Welch Thanks for information Martha, I didn’t know this. 🦍🇬🇧

[@eagse]

Liekes, I just found out the reason Matadi had to be transferred because when they moved Oumbi to Twycross zoo, he didn't like him n attacked him. This is the whole story. Scroll down n look www.zoochat.com/community/threads/matadi-the-gorilla.130931

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

Wow I've read it. Good thing he has his own family now :)!

[@eagse]

@@LiekesShotOfLife Yes it is indeed. Just asking, besides gorillas are u also interested in Chimpanzees?

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

@@eagse yes I am. But they're much more difficult to film. In the Netherlands we have beautiful big groups. But as you might now, they're not that friendly all the time. So it's harder to get lovely films of them. When the babies are outside playing, I film them. I've also posted a video of it ;).

[@eagse]

@@LiekesShotOfLife Why is it difficult to film them? Actually it's really easy. If u look at Tama Chimps from Japan, they just film the chimps as they are n how their behavior n how they interact with each other. We share 99% of DNA with them. Their behavior are just likev us humans do. Go to CaramelRibbon3's channel and watch.

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

@@eagse the groups I can visit are not very easy to film in winter. The enclosures are very dark and there are a lot of climbing structures ;). It's lovely to see but not easy to film over here.

[@Em-mp4hf]

Poor things belong in the mountains not on concrete with crap sticks thrown around - no green to speak of just completely disrespectful to this amazing animal why wouldn’t you at least try to give the best possible enclosure instead of this crap If you have to keep them so brat kids can walk through screaming and crying- And some asshole is getting rich!
