Thandie, Vizazi and Mambele

Sometimes it's like Mamele has 2 kids ;-) Thandie spends so much time with her.

This is one of my favorite gorilla families. They look so well adjusted. Beautiful family life. Thandie clearly loves her baby sister. I think it’s incredibly sweet that Mambele lets Thandie get so close to the baby. They all look very healthy with glossy and shiny fur. It’s so good to watch gorilla families looking healthy and happy. Thanks for the video.

Sister? The mother is not mom to both of these babies...

[@Buba417]

Gina Powell Hi! They both have the same father, the silverback Matadi.

Half sister. Thandie's mom is Mayani.

[@PrimateProductions]

@@GorillaFanNL oh well shoot of course!! I am a bit slow today I guess...it didn't occur to me that they possibly shared a father rather than a mother! Thank you all for patiently pointing that out!🤗

Be patient, Baby Thandie. Soon you will get to play with her. You will be a great big sister 🦍❤🦍❤

[@GorillaFanNL]

A friend saw them together today!!!! Thandie even tried to walk with Vizazi on her belly. Was so cute.

Is Vizazi nursing off her aunt? If so, how is that possible with an aunt? Thanks.

[@GorillaFanNL]

No, she's not. Mambele (in this video) is Vizazi's mom. Thandie's mom is Mayani.

Correct me if I'm wrong...is it female juvenile gorillas are gentler than male juvenile

[@GorillaFanNL]

I don't think so. It all depends on the personality and age of the kid :-) Shomari was also very gentle with his then baby brother Shambe. And Nakou was gentle with the twins when they were still a baby. Likale, much older back then, wasn't.
