    Dalila is such a great mom. I love the side eye she gives the younger members when they get too close to the baby. Lomako gives her the respect she deserves when he holds her eye contact without aggression.

      Dalila is an amazing foster mother and a wonderful teacher. The silverback will learn a lot from her, and Lomako will share responsibilities with Dalila. Together, they will raise Makongo hand in hand in the future.👏♥️🦍🤝👸👍💪🥰

    That was an intense conversation 11:48 I think some people forget that Dalila was a formidable alpha female in her younger days, there's not many females that would initiate and maintain prolonged eye contact with a silverback. She's no easy pushover, she knows that the safest place for her and Makongo are by Lomako. He for his part needs to be more proactive, but in a calm and controlled manner. He'll learn, he's young and Dalila is a wise and great teacher. On a side note, watching Nana D schooling Zola was a treat. She was so over her shenanigans and she's still spritely when needed, I don't know who was more surprised me or Zola at the speed and ferocity of Dalila. 💖💖🦍

      An excellent comment💪🦍♥️. Dalila reminds us of that formidable alpha female in her younger days - her courage, her speed, and her fearless approach to challenges. Even when facing a silverback, she could hold direct eye contact without hesitation. We can see that the older Dalila is still that unmatched Queen.

      I'm new to watching this troop but they area fascinating group of personalities with the extra sadness of having recently lost one of the central and important members. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I'm constantly rewatching them. I love how you label each one of them (I wish I could do that but I can't tell the difference between two of my troop)! Each of your videos are a full story in their own right. If there was a competition of who are the best ape video channels, yours would be up at the top with a couple of others and this troop is definitely my favorate.🎉

      At the baby’s age, Dalila cannot let him play on his own just yet, as this is the safest approach for him. Dalila is setting a great example for the silverback, and in the future, she will share more responsibilities with the baby’s father, Lomako.♥️🦍🙌💪👸👏👏👍

      Dalila is indeed the perfect foster mother for the baby. You can see it in her quick reactions and her courage. Dalila doesn’t let her age slow her down; on the contrary, she’s not someone to be messed with. Despite being older, she’s agile, determined, and doesn’t back down from challenges. With her, you get someone who’s both capable and tenacious - a formidable presence as both a caregiver and a companion.👸🦍♥️💪👍

    If Dalila is giving warning sounds then Lomako will react. Just like when the baby is really in distress the gorillas will react. Dalila has to be careful when the Makongo is looted. Just the other day,I saw a video of two females going at it and there goes the baby flying right out of her arms. A lot younger then Makongo but it happens.

    I find it interesting the behaviour of Loango and DJ other dad in Taiwan zoo DJ would Stopped what happened the other day with Mosi . The fact the Queen had to Encourage Loango do his duty both as father and as leader . Best way to try describe what am trying say Loango is an Old school man father (not saying he don’t love just finds hard to openly show it24/7)etc , DJ is the Modern day man a bit more soft and loving showing his emotions.

      @f1b I'm new to this troop and I was getting the impression that he is a bit of an outsider even though he is the zilverback. I've been amazed at the solidarity of the younger members and they have put him right a couple of times as a group. They are a very interesting troop with such a range of strong characters. Fascinating.

    • @AllThingsGorilla
      @AllThingsGorilla  3 часа назад +8

      When the baby is nursing, Dalila and Makongo are indeed isolated in a separate room. Being unable to see the baby for extended periods can cause anxiety among the family members. Dalila is actively helping the baby integrate into family life, which shows they are adapting and addressing this issue positively.

What I hope, considering two female gorillas dies of abscesses, which I read could be caused from pelvic inflamatiory disease among other causes, (it is also not uncommon among gorillas) that they screen and treat for stds which surely they must do when introducing new gorillas. Hopefully anyway. But something is up when two females within a few years die of abscesses. Sanga I think was Mosi's Mom? These guys have had a lot of loss lately. 💚

      At Makongo's age, Dalila's protection is quite appropriate. Now that Dalila is willingly bringing the baby closer to the silverback, it shows that silverback Lomako has earned her trust. You can see that both Mosi and Nala are allowed to approach baby Makongo, but only Zola is kept at a distance.
