Aybo Pinches Gorilla Lope's Butt

Gorilla blackback Aybo is sitting on the big tub, while Gorilla blackback Lope is foraging in front of him. Aybo leans down and starts to pinch Lope's bum. Lope kicks his leg up to stop his shenanigans. When Aybo doesn't stop, Lope sits up. Aybo grabs his head pulls him closer, and playfully bites him. Looking at it frame by frame, it looks like Lope is pinching Aybo's nose to stop him, which did work. Aybo just wants to play and keeps touching Lope. Lope looks at him and stares at him for a while. Lope carries on and Aybo annoys him a bit more, and then he watches Lope. Then Lope does something unaccepted, not sure what he was trying to do. He gets up and pushes the tub with his bum, almost like he wants Aybo to "play". He touches Lope's bum again, but Lope quickly sits down stopping him. I know Lope is a hard nut to crack; even Aybo has to inspect his teeth after the playful biting😂. They start to wrestle just a little, and Aybo gets down from the tub, only to get back up again moments later. About 5 minutes later, Lope sits in front of him again. Aybo tries to hold him, and Lope starts twisting from side to side. When both the blackbacks are on the move, you can see it's because Silverback Dishi is awake and coming down.

Lope lost the companionship of his annoying brother Shu, but he's been replaced by an equally annoying Aybo. Aybo will be Lope's shadow so I can stop wringing my hands now. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is just what the doctor ordered, they will both do better with each other's company. The hierarchy without a doubt is in place in Gorilla land, Lope and Ay knew instinctively that the big guy was coming and seceded their spot. One last observation, Lope's back is a thing of beauty, Silverbackhood is fast approaching and I'm here for it! You're the best SV...😎

[@SloggerVlogger]

😊 Thank you. I love Aybo's energy. They definitely matched them quite well. It will be interesting to learn how it will play out in the end between the Dishi and Lope.

[@glynisakabonniekenzie7664]

Thank you SV, Lope is looking wonderful, fit and healthy. I am so pleased that Lope has a fun companion in Aybo.

[@A.L.Gardner]

Thank you, that was marvellous! Lope was being so tolerant of Aybo's antics, love the tooth inspection halfway through. Lope is really starting to get that silverback musculature 😊

[@SloggerVlogger]

🤗 Brilliant it worked, the early release. Did you receive an email telling you about it? Was just curious how it worked. Still trying to figure things out. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@A.L.Gardner]

@@SloggerVlogger it was by a notification not by email, just checked my inbox. 😊

[@SloggerVlogger]

Thank you. 😊

[@flaviablanco8245]

Yes 🦍💙

[@lynngold1865]

There he is!!!Wow!His body is developing. His wide shoulders and even his saggital crest is growing.I love his playmate. AYBO will keep him company and he will have so much play together.Thank you SV.This made my day!i feel like Lope is my grandson.Actually i spoke about him in church yesterday.Someone asked how i started to get into gorillas....so i told them about my Lope!I thank you from my heart for connecting me to gorillas!love you!💜🌌🦍💜🙋‍♀️

Taste his own medicine😅

[@kathycunningham6677]

Love seeing Lope….and with much patience w Aybo too. Lol! Lope is looking more like Oumbi so amazing. I’m used to seeing the running around Lope. Thanks a million for your video SV, awesome. 😊

[@olgaarca6423]

Wow this reminds me when Lope used to bather Oumbi😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@flaviablanco8245]

Hey Lope is nice to have friends , enjoy your days my beautiful Lope be nice Love you darlings 🦍💙🦍💙

[@sandyr7577]

Wow…Lope is really very tolerant😂😂….glad they both get along so well❤

[@flaviablanco8245]

Lope is like Oumbi memories moments i keeping ❤️🙏

[@teijaflink2226]

Lope is really starting to look like a silver back, his friend has more growing to do.

[@justbreathe_]

Adorable Aybo is stressing Lope out 😂

[@SloggerVlogger]

Shufai called him and told him what a pain Lope was when he was young, so Aybo is helping Shufai to get some revenge. lol

[@justbreathe_]

@@SloggerVloggerI should have guessed that Shufai was behind it 😂

[@woroodalRose]

Every time you post something about Lope i get excited lol.. Thank You!

[@SloggerVlogger]

It's my pleasure!!😊

[@Think_about_2morrow]

Lope - been missing you! 💙💙

[@suzannemccormick6143]

Lope is growing so big and handsome. He's getting back some of the annoyance he used to dish out. 😅

[@ninawest8]

I'm so happy to see Lope happy. I just hope Kiamosa and Gentaro fare as well when their time comes

[@petermoody6147]

Aybo seems to have relatively long limbs.

[@lilliankeane5731]

He really seems to like he enjoys annoying Lope. Lope patients is wearing thin😂, just like with Shufai but… Lope is bigger and older now. Will his patience be the same for his Batchelor pad mate? It’s all part of the adventure of growing up. ♥️☺️.

[@SloggerVlogger]

They definitely matched them quite well. Lope got a second Shufai. Shufai probably called ahead and told him what Lope did to him when he was younger and told Aybo to give him some grief. 🤣😂

[@lilliankeane5731]

@@SloggerVlogger 😆😆i can see the face time now! 😁

[@SloggerVlogger]

🤣😂

[@flaviablanco8245]

You right is like Shufai I miss him to 👍🏻🙏🦍💙🦍💙 Shufai is ok Lope 💙👍🏻

[@01maggie]

Have not seen Lope for long time!! Really handsome...getting to be a big guy,,!! Still playful 😉

[@theawidmer1113]

Heerlijk om Lope weer te zien 💖💓🥰‼️ Of hij het zo leuk heeft met Aybo weet ik niet 🤔‼️ Maar hij loopt in ieder geval niet weg❗️maar als de Silverback wakker wordt, gaan ze toch maar 😂‼️Dank voor deze enige opname 👍🏻👍🏻🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ 4:20

[@lydiemeuer5514]

Es freut mich so sehr zusehen wie es Lope geht er hat einen Ersatz für Shufai gefunden. Er ist so ein schöner Gorilla auf dem Weg zum Silverback er wird genauso ein imposanter Silber Back wie sein Vater. Er war von klein auf schon so ein besonderer kleine Persönlichkeit sein ganzes Wesen und sein unvergessliche Gang und er war der erste Gorilla Junge den ich kenne gelernt habe. Ich liebte es immer wenn er mit Shufai durch Gegenden tobten.Er wäre schön wenn die zwei Brüder zusammen in den neuen Zoo gekommen wären .Aber Hauptsache es geht ihm gut .Viele Dank Slogger Vlogger das Sie immer uns mit den schönen Videos von Lope den Tag verschönern. ❤🦍❤

[@ianmangham4570]

So awesome seeing Lope Happy ❤😊

[@violetnewell5076]

Oh my goodness, is that lope❤

[@SloggerVlogger]

Yes it is. 😁

[@freckledone1073]

Lope seems to be fitting in quite well. 🖤

[@araceliramirez2695]

Es un torrente de comunicación entre los dos donde la sutileza expresa matices ❤❤

[@gregsutton2400]

Lope is not bothered, he is loving it, that is why he stays there and laughs while being tickled.

[@matthiasstrunz1343]

I guess these constant touching is really important ❤

[@whistlerwade]

So very important for primates to make friends when moved.

[@wondergranny2299]

So funny!❤

[@sherryw.1466]

Dishi has put the fear in those boys. He heads down and they both head up. 🤣 ♥️♥️♥️

[@jafarmartin]

I've seen this vid already. But I get a little misty watching our boy just grow up & develop & move on. It's wild how little he used to be. Just watching him waddle around & get the lope zoomies. ..Maan. This vid does remind me of that one precious moment you captured between him & Bidy sun-bathing together & she kept trolling him w/ wet willies & all. That was a good moment. It also reminds me of another when he was younger & was trolling Oumbi behind that wooden wall. Kept reaching under & beating on the door & running. & classic Oumbi fashion, He just looked all resigned to take it all. Man always loves his peace & alone time.

[@marykelly2409]

Love you like😊🐒❤️ Great to see you.🖐️🐒❤ 4-8-24

[@marykelly2409]

My, my Lope. You seem to be getting along with the bachelor troop.🤩💪🐒💪🐒💪🐒❤️ Good to see Lope. I love you to pi to piecesssss ❤❤❤❤ 4-15-24

[@ninawest8]

Awe,I kinda feel bad for the silver. Maybe he wanted to play too.He went right to the same spot the boys were playing. Seems to me he might be a little lonely. The boys scattered like roaches when he came in...lol

[@SloggerVlogger]

Dishi went back to that place because all the food gets scattered there from above.

[@lynderherberts2828]

Oh, my! I haven't seen Lope for the past year. He is so big now. When will he be 10? SV, I remember you had said Twycross was going to transfer him to another zoo. Where is he now?

[@SloggerVlogger]

Welcome back. He turned 11 in January and is now in France at the Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon where I visited him. If you like you can catch up with this playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLXC1aShJSBiWOiLTfL8Se6bRBCofuDLup There are two troops. Introduction video of both of the troops are here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pISse52Fhdp_q7c . Hope that helps 😊

[@mentayflor]

What zoo is Lope in? I know he was moved to other zoo

[@SloggerVlogger]

He's at Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon in France

[@mariehartje6781]

Good to see our Lope. I know that he had to get moved but I think he is getting annoyed with his new friend. I miss him & Shufai together. Just the way I feel ❤❤️🦍🦍
