A Moment Between Silverback Oumbi And Lope His Son

  • Oumbi the silverback is sitting outside watching his son Lope lying in the grass. Lope gets up and looks in his father's eyes. It looks like Oumbi is moving off, sticks his head in the grass, probably to look for some food pellets. Lope is still watching him closely. A minute later Oumbi sits in the grass Lope still close to him. Oumbi then moves and tries to grab Lopes arm/hand. My first thoughts were Lope might have had some food in it, but it didn't look like he did. After scratching his back, Lope turns around, gives the blue barrel a knock. Then some strange behavior. Lope turning his backside towards Oumbi and Oumbi moving beside Lope. They are still looking at each other. After some grazing, they move off together and a funny moment when Lope throws a bit of food behind him in Oumbi's direction. Oumbi jumps away and has a look at what it was. They both disappear inside.

    Lope is growing into a young male and is starting to show traits of a future silver back.....including respecting the presence of his father. Oumbi is probably flabbergasted at the change in him. LOL. He's not acting the clown quite as much.

    Great father-son interaction. You do see a kind of respect from Oumbi to Lope as the young gorilla matures.

    Lope seems to be practicing to be a silverback, like his dad. What a wonderful moment !! This video was great 👍 👌 👏

    I think Lope is becoming more mature and Oumbie appreciates it. For people wondering how old Lope is, he's only 7. He'll be 8 next January.

    Oh my gosh, I loved this.
    Incredibly beautiful footage at the beginning when you did a close up on Oumbi’s head and the wind is gently blowing his fur. So, so beautiful. He’s a gorgeous silverback, even though a bit grumpy sometimes. This is one of my favorite gorilla families. 🦍 🦍🦍🦍🦍
    I love how Lope and Oumbi looked comfortable with each other. It’s so lovely to see them spending time together without the usual craziness, no kids running around, no screams.
    Lope is growing up so fast, it’s good to spend more time with his dad and start learning how to be a silverback.
    Thanks for this awesome video, SV.

    Touching moments between Lope and Omubi. Then Lope throws the small object over his shoulder towards his dad. Dad jumps, I laughed and reminded of why we love Lope so much, never a dull moment when Lope is around. 💕💕🦍 Lope and Tywcross gorillas.

    I giggled out loud when Lope through the item back at Oumbi. Seemed like Oumbi even jumped a bit😂. Lope is such a rascal! I don’t know what Lope was saying by purposefully putting his rear in Oumbi’s face, but I have no doubt that both Lope and Oumbi knew what that meant.😉

    I love the way you captured Lope wanting a father and son moment. Lope is watching his dad closely. Almost watching to learn how to be all grown up like an adult. Mimicking Oumbi's movements and the way he sits or stands. Beautiful to watch. Thanks SV 💕🦍🦍

    How great to see father and son spending time together.
    Seeing them close like this gives a great perspective on size and Lope still has a huge amount of growing to do,just the arms alone wow!
    The end was funny when Lope sniffed whatever he picked up and was like...
    Sniff nah I don't want this, how bout you Dad? And tosses it, startled Oumbi for a split second before he checked it out and passed on it aswell.😄
    Enjoyed watching this vid thanks SV. 😊

    This was a rare moment between this father and son.
    Oumbi rarely engages one on one with the boys. Pressed to do so by Lope most times. Antagonizing of his Dad is what finally gets Oumbi to chase Lope. Giving Lope a head squeeze and face wash for his trouble....lol
    I loved to know what Oumbi's motivation to seem so inquisitive towards Lope was this particular encounter?
    They possess inteligence that we don't understand as of yet.
    They never cease to keep me enthralled in their amazing lives and behaviour.

    SV - How old is Lope now? I don’t know why I haven’t noticed it sooner but in this video I realized that Lope is starting to turn silver across his back. I thought they didn’t start turning silver until they were in their teen years, and I didn’t think he was that old. I loved it when he kicked his foot back and the piece of food plopped down in front of his dad. Lope turned to look at Oumba as if to say “oops sorry dad!”

    Hope there are more similar moments like this still to come. Seems like Oumbi is trying to connect with his son. Almost feels like Dad can tell son is almost grown up. Unless Oumbi was worried why Lope was lying in the grass instead of running around at 100 mph trying to get everyone's attention.🤷🏻‍♀️

    Gorilla's do a lot of butt sniffing. Oumbi after he tried to grab Lope he just went over and sniff the spot where lope was. Lope was letting his dad have a sniff being submissive to him. If you watch the do a lot of touch the butt and take a sniff when the pass each other.

    • @LindaC616
