😍 Handsome alpha Lengai takes care of, and watches over the juvenile of the group, the adorable Upala 3:10 😘. Upala is learning a lot from Lengai about 🦍 social skills, heirarchy rules, and most importantly 4:28 a 💪 strong brotherly bond of love and trust is important, in that it also provides emotional support amongst troop members. It is always a delight to see the two together, and the close bond they share with one another. Thanks, what beautiful footage! ❤❤❤

Thank you for your appreciation of the video, my friend😘. As you mentioned, Upala has learned many social skills from Lengai, including the rules of inheritance❤️. They also continue to strengthen their emotional bond with each other💗. When Lengai holds Upala's hand and leads him forward, it's just like in the video, an older brother guiding his younger brother🥰🥰. Every time I see them, I'm moved by this seemingly non-biological but even closer emotional bond.🫶❤️🦍

Hey girl, i just watched a video of Lope & he seems to have the same no nonsense attitude. But dam he looks good.😅

@@sonjavandam1306 Yes, I did too! 😲 Lope is certainly standing his ground, and showing alpha dominance amongst the other fellas in the troop 😁. He's so much like his dad handsome 😍 Oumbie. Blessings! 💕💐

4:30 When Lengai was holding Upala's hands and "helping" him down it looked like Lengai reached over gave Upala a quick kiss, then shoved him away. 😂😂 Upala is a big boy but, he's not big enough to take on Lengai. Not yet anyway. Although what Upala lacks in strength he makes up for it with speed. 💖💖🦍

[@AllThingsGorilla]

Upala's advantage lies in agility, while Lengai, despite his massive size and strength advantage, lacks the endurance of the younger Upala. Lengai often needs to take a break 🤣🤣🤣 After all, Upala is young and has astonishing stamina 😍😍😍

Length and meru are two of the biggest silverbacks I've seen in a zoo but all four of these boys are amazing

[@AllThingsGorilla]

The two brothers do have very large and robust physiques💪🦍; they are gorgeous gorillas🥰😍🫶❤️🦍.

[@sonyawilson1000]

​@@AllThingsGorilla Lengai and Meru are definitely two huge 🦍 handsome 😍 fellas, but I think the title of gigantic goes to Haoko, tipping the scales at a whopping 496lbs according to Ueno's zoo scale.

[@AllThingsGorilla]

@@sonyawilson1000 I've always wondered, they're clearly vegetarians🥬, so why do they have such big bodies? 🤣🤣🤣 Looks like if you want to slim down, you have to eat more meat 🥩

It's sad to see these beautiful silverbacks stuck in this bachelor group at 20 years old. They should have a family of their own.

[@AllThingsGorilla]

Due to a lack of enough female to mate with them, these silverbacks in bachelor troops have no opportunity to form their own family. 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@ZombieQueen819]

At 2:20 I thought he got stuck, but he was just waiting there😂😂😂😂 I was thinking well how the heck are they going to get that big feller out of there?😂😂😂 I was talking about Lengai sorry I almost forgot to put his name down this way. We know who I’m talking about.😊😊

[@AllThingsGorilla]

I think he might be tired🤣, so he's taking the opportunity to lie down and rest while waiting. Because Lengai's physique is so large, each jump consumes a lot of energy 🤣🤣🤣 Plus, that frame does tend to get him stuck😂😂😂🫶❤️🦍.

Hello 👋😍🥰🫶❤️🦍

[@user-vp6lf3qo3p]

I don't get why they keep males together, just asking for nasty fight.

[@AllThingsGorilla]

Due to the lack of enough females around, each adult silverback typically pairs with 2 to 3 females, which is why bachelor troops form😊. They're not fighting😂; they're just playing🥰😄😄🫶❤️🦍🥰

[@user-vi8lx6dm7o]

Theres 4 silverbacks in this bachlor group.

[@AllThingsGorilla]

Yes, this troop has four silverbacks🦍🦍🦍🦍, and the neighboring troop has two silverbacks🦍🦍. However, these two troops live separately.❤️🫶🦍

[@tammydowell94]

I always thought you couldn't put 2 silverbacks in the same enclosure cuz of fights,,,,,,don't these fellas have wives with kids?

[@karenthompson8151]

No these guys are in a bachelor group with hopes of one day they get mates and have children but for some they won’t be fortunate to have their own families

[@luvcats120]

Groups of males can be put in “bachelor” groups when they are too old to stay with their families anymore. Eventually, they will all become silverbacks with one of them being dominant. It’s my understanding that bachelor groups have come about because there aren’t enough females around to pair up with all the males.
