GORILLA THANDIE HOLDS HER BABY SISTER

[@Nina-fh1bg]

I must be feeling emotional today because this made me tear up a little. Thandie is still just a little girl gorilla I but she is already learning how to love well. The way she cradled her little sister's head was so tender and sweet. Thank you for sharing this Liekes!! This made my day much sweeter. ❤💞❤

[@debnoel8560]

You are not alone. I surprised myself with how emotional I got watching this.

[@selena5905]

Me too. Such sweetness, made me tear up.💞

[@candykay2585]

Knowing how hard Thandie has tried to get close to Vizazi since she was born made this video very heart warming. Thandie knew exactly how to situate Vizazi for a short romp and Mama was right on her heels. Thank you Lieke, this is a really great video.

[@elsa7281]

What a lovely sister. She seems very concerned about her sibling. So gentle. No wonder gorillas are known as the gentle gaints. Even the silverbacks are gentle with the little ones.

[@PrimateProductions]

Oh not always!!

[@sherryw.1466]

Wow! She’s going to be a great Mama one day. This was probably one of the sweetest videos I’ve seen!🥰❤️ Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@omybeach8743]

Exactly what I thoughts after watching this. Never seen in all the gorilla vids I've seen so far. What a great video, Lieke! 🌼

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

Thanks for the heartwarming comments!❤️

[@mariannedegrange5955]

Thandie herself, is still a baby. Just about to turn 2. To see her maturity of caring for her baby sister is amazing! Thandie and Kintaro (Kyoto Zoo) my two favorite baby gorillas. 💕

[@User14816]

Marianne, mine,too.

[@mielledowney2379]

Metoo

[@wernervannuffel2608]

Thandie and Kintaro will be a good couple. They need a big videoscreen they can already see each other... and somewhere encounter in this way.

[@Sammy-kn2nb]

This is so sweet to watch ♥️. You can tell she wants to carry her sister around but the baby keeps gripping her too hard and it’s hurting her but she doesn’t want to stop holding her sister lol. Such a sweet girl.

[@av8tore71]

That is so sweet. Looks like she's learning how to be a mom when she old enough to be a real one

[@Sammy-kn2nb]

Thandie is such a good big sister. I absolutely love watching her videos. She’s trying so hard to carry her little sister the way she was carried around and the way Vizazi’s mom carries her but she’s not quite strong enough yet. I hope they continue to grow a strong bond with each other. Both little girls are so precious and Vizazi’s spikey hair is just too cute for words.

[@fallbrkgrl]

Well, that was the cutest thing I have ever seen! Thandie was doing such a great job with the baby. It's so cool that mom is letting her handle Vizazi. It's funny, Thandie trying to get Vizazi's hands to let go, "How do I get this thing off of me" It sure is a different situation with girls, than it is with the boys. Thank you Liekes! This one really made my day 😀 ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🦍

[@LiekesShotOfLife]

It was indeed so funny. Vizazi is way to big to walk or run with though she tries, and mambele follows them xD. And when she wants to hold Vizazi a bit different, she has to get her hands of. thanks for watching and the lovely comment!

[@PrimateProductions]

Yes they try to pull their little hands off like that sometimes because it hurts when they pull hair holding on so tight especially if on tender, sensitive skin of one so young still!

[@allenbinder5087]

So sweet, having a tea party with her sister and mom. Then runs off to play.......just like any other child.

[@bepje18158]

CUTENESS ALERT!!! Ive seen this special event 2 days earlier but I can't have never enough seeing and enjoying them over and over again...how relaxed and confident mum Mambele is towards Thandie having Zazi carry this way.. so adorable really...little Thandie is a (mini) lovable mum in the making! Splendid shots Lieke many thanx!

[@TheScreamers9]

She loves her little sister

[@lynngold1865]

Be still my gorilla luving heart!!!What a natural mothering instinct in Thandie @this young age.What trust from Vi's Mama!!!This was a golden opportunity of a lifetime to capture this kind of love.thank you Lieke.this goes into my favorites to watch over& over.😍🐵😍🐵😍🙆

[@EricaInBorderland]

They have a beautiful sisterly relationship! 💞🦍💚

[@scottjackson3940]

How amazing is this!! Has anyone ever witnessed this before?? This is a clear sign that this beautiful motherly behavior is passed down. What a grip the tiny little treasures are born with!!

[@ellenknell9645]

That is so darn sweet how Thandie carries her baby sister Vivazi just like her mommy would, and she's only twice her size. This family is so close. There is so much love between them all.

[@paulaterrell879]

Thank you all far letting us be apart of there life's on these videos especially when you are stuck inside from this virus .. These videos has really helped me with stress .... I watch them every day ..... Thank you all an May God be with you all threw this ruff times......

[@llartci2]

Baby gorillas are so calm and sweet,imagine holding one...I would cry so hard 😭💗

[@kreynolds6424]

That was beyond precious & it did what i was hoping - brought a smile to my heart!!! Ok got to go watch that again!!

[@annduncan4081]

These two win the internet today for sure! How endearing to watch. And that hair! Vizazi is Too cute!

[@coralrault2275]

Thank you so much Lieke for this lovely film of these two beautiful sisters and Mambele. They are so cute and Thandie will be a great mum in the future like Vazizi's mummy, as she is so caring towards her little sister. Just gorgeous!! My heart is melting 🥰

[@livinglife1135]

I’m impressed how Thandie made sure that has she peeked her sisters grip from her back, she also made sure her sisters head didn’t lean backward. That was absolutely tender. 💕

[@marieldeguzman6193]

2:00 she must be tired of babysitting her sister....so adorable thandie...time flies fast,its just like yesterday I was watching her with daddy now she can take care of her sister..4:02 shes tired already Hhahhahahah,,,,so cute

Has anyone seen a baby gorilla carry a little baby around like Thandie does? I've never seen this before. Normally the mom won't allow it. 🌹🌹🌹

This is that time when you were little and your parents brought home this thing that looked like you and you weren't sure you liked it but then it reached for you and you realized it was yours. Every sibling ever since the beginning of time.😊😊😊😊

[@tw7010]

Oh sweet Thandie don't grow up too fast. One day you will be a great mommy to your own baby but great practice caring for your baby sister 😊

[@poppykok5]

Lieke...Not surprisingly to you, I suppose, but my heart is already pounding with excitement & anticipation... I can hardly wait...LOL... *: )*

Wwow they are very different my first time ever seeing this out of all the Troops I've watched thats so loving and precious its a lot of love in this Troop and trust.

[@PrimateProductions]

It is more often than not that way with gorillas!

[@francesdrescher4637]

Good morning friend thank you for such an incredible video how just so perfect and precious melts my heart ❤

[@Kim-lc3fv]

Very interesting. If you compare Thandie to Gentaro in Kyoto Zoo, there is such a strong gender difference in how babies behave and how their gorilla parents trust them.

[@teijaflink2226]

I haven't seen any gorilla baby this caring or this interested to care for their sibling. Mostly I have seen them running around, teasing and playing like some wild gorillas. But then I have mostly seen boy gorilla sibling interaction. Though I don't know if it's just Thandie who's different, specially as she's still so young herselft.

[@Mathada1957]

@@teijaflink2226 Komomo is a good big sister to her little siblings. I think the girl gorillas are more gentle.

[@aquarianlight1880]

@@teijaflink2226 yes and you have to understand that Gentaro was seperated from Genki when he was days old, not enough breast milk. It was very traumatic for Genki, who the vet stated,he will never forget her screams when they removed Gentaro. He was human raised until 10 months of age. This changes them a little.

[@aquarianlight1880]

Gentra was removed from his mother when he was days old due to lack of breast milk. This was traumatizing for Genki. Gentaro was human raised until 10 months old which changes the dynamics.

[@lizzyh458]

Wat een prachtig filmpje Lieke! Echt mooie momenten heb je vastgelegd. Hoe schattig bijvoorbeeld dat Vizazi op 00:49 al probeert te bijten/spelen met Thandie. Je ziet op haar gezichtje de vastberadenheid staan hé. Die gaat zich niet laten doen door grote zus hihihi. Ook hoe Thandie baby's handjes probeert los te wringen maar Vizazi telkens weer haar ijzeren grip op Thandie haar vachtje. Hier kan je gewoon naar blijven kijken en blijven bewonderen hé, zo'n mooie en interessanter wezentjes!
