I am a self confessed gorilla fanatic. I watch as many groups as I can, however most zoos do not have dedicated video makers that also love gorillas. Freddie is an amazing female with powerful maternal instincts and the group has accepted Jamela as a member of their troop. Even little Kayembe at 2 and a half is being gentle with the baby. This came onto my feed as a direct result of how many troops I follow. Genatro, Ringo are my favorites, but there is always room for many more in my heart.
@@epicFrogman The zoo is trying to fix that situation since the last of the lemurs (if I recall correctly) died and their enclosure is right next to the gorilla enclosure. This may not be ready in time for Gentaro to move over to the new enclosure in time, so he might have to go to another zoo. Not sure what is happening there.
Jameela has been fully accepted into the troop in Cleveland. Fredrica is actually nursing both Jameela and her other foster child Kayembe who is 2 1/2 years old. First time for me hearing about Patrick, sounds like he has had a pretty hard time of it. Unfortunately, there are a few other gorillas in the same fix around the world. It's very sad to think about them going through life living alone. Thank you for sharing this information with us. Take Care, Stay Safe, Be Well, Mac from Georgia
PATRICK IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, I OBSERVED HIM FOR THREE YEARS EVERY DAY BUT XMAS AND NEW YEARS AND FAMILY DAY. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN BY DALLAS ZOO AS WELL. HIS FATHER BARNEY FROM TORONTO ZOO WAS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND LOVED BY ALL THE FEMALES.
PATRICK DOES NOT JUST PREFER HUMANS, HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO IMPREGNATE ANY FEMALES BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS BUDDY AT DALLAS ZOO WHERE THE SHOT HIM TO DEATH BECAUSE HE ESCAPED AND TRIED TO GET REVENGE ON SOME PEOPLE WHO KEPT TAUNTING HIM.

And then the AMAZING gorilla mom Freddie came to the rescue once again for another little baby in need of a nurturing and loving momma. I hope Patrick gets a chance to have a family one day.
In my opinion D"jeeco is super chill with his naughty sons (especially Jabali). To me Momotaro is the most handsome and Gentaro is a close second. Little Riki may have a chance to be an amazing silverback and be the most handsome by far, but they are all related to Momoko which means that being good looking runs in the family.
@@quantumentanglement-007 Really? I don't find them attractive at all. Gentaro's eyes are so close together. Lovely animals though. D'Jeeco is next level. Ringo is the most handsome to ever live.
@@78LedHead Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ringo is indeed very good looking boy and so sweet in his nature. I have loved Gentaro ever since I saw him as a toddler wearing a a blue plastic pail on his head.

Thank you for this. You posted a video yesterday and I was questioning why Patrick was on his own and that he must be lonely. It's lovely to hear from Kim and her experiences with him. He was, as all gorilla babies are, incredibly cute. It's interesting how the care and integration of these magnificent animals have changed over the years and I would guess will continue to evolve as our understanding changes. He had a difficult start to life which is incredibly sad and I'm glad he had Jabari to play with when he was younger.

Most of the time bachelor groups have grown up together or have been introduced over a long period of time. Denny is such an introduction and it has worked out well so far.
I’m not certain why you couldn’t have had this interview on Skype or zoom or any other format. I’m sure others feels like I do and it is more difficult to pay attention or watch with a non visual phone call. I did find it sad how many gorillas passed away in captivity. She continues the story as if it were a regular occurrence.
😢😢Poor Jabari. He was probably just frightened and confused. Wonder why they didn’t just tranquilize him. I think they should be responsible for having those ready and available for incidents like this. So sad.
IT'S FUNNY HOW PEOPLY SAY HOW KARMA COMES AROUND. JABARI TREATED PATRICK TERRIBLY WHEN PATRICK HAS COLD, TOOK HIS FOOD, POKED HIM, JUMPED ON HIM, PULLED HIS HAIR AND SO ON; BUT PATRICK, WHEN JABARI WAS SICK, PATRICK LET HIM REST, NEVER TOUCHED HIS FOOD, NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO DISTURB HIS FRIEND. IT WAS HORRIBLE AT TIMES. THANK GOD PATRICK STILL EATS WELL LIKE I USED TO ENCOURAGE HIM ALLL THE TIME I WAS OBSERVING THEM. AMAZING GORILLA, PATRICK IS.

They can be depressed the same as any other animal. The Momotaro group stopped eating when Momo was ill and separated from the troop. The Kelly troop was depressed when Evelyn passed. Some male gorillas can live in bachelor groups quite well, but others have a more alpha personality that prevents them from getting along with any other males.
DALLAS ZOO TOLD ME IT TOOK OVER ONE YEAR BEFORE PATRICK CAME AROUND. ONE OF THE KEEPERS NAMED MARILYN ASKED PATRICK TO LOOK AFTER BABY JOMO. YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW HE CARED FOR JOMO ALL ON HIS OWN. IT IS IN MY BOOK, IF I EVER GET IT FINISHED.
Gorillas absolutely can get depressed and fret. There’s a female gorilla in Japan, Genki. I don’t know the full back story but I believe her mother then father died (or it might have been a potential mate that died. Someone else may be able to correct me there) and that affected her badly. As she was alone at Kyoto Zoo they sent her to another zoo in Japan as there was a silverback there. That didn’t work out and I believe there was also another female gorilla who didn’t like Genki. I guess you could say she was badly bullied. Poor Genki was miserable and lost so much weight (around 90lbs which is a huge weight loss) she also started to chew her fingers off. They sent her back to Kyoto as she most likely would have died. They then introduced a young silverback into her home. She had 2 baby boys with him and life is now great for sweet Genki once again.
Genki was moved to another zoo for breeding everything was going well until Momotaros mother Momoko came and bullied Genki so much until it drove her crazy, things got worse when the Silverback died from choking on food and Genki took it real badly, she bit off her toes and fingers, she started to overeat then would bring it all back up again, she lost a great deal of weight. Genki became so ill they decided to send her back to her mother, Genkis mother accepted her and bought Genki back. The irony that Genki had 2 boys with her bully's son, bless her. ❤❤❤
DALLAS ZOO INFORMED ME THAT IT TOOK OVER ONE YEAR FOR PATRICK TO GET OVER THE KILLING(SHOOTING) OF HIS BUDDY JABARI, WHO WAS SOMEWHAT OF A TROUBLE MAKER.
I have seen many innovative ways being used to show gorilla females how to care for their newborn... from providing films to watch to a human woman showing how to breast feed. Every effort should be made to keep mom with baby. It is as important to not interfere as it is to protect the species.
GORILLA FEMALES NOW HOW TO CARE FOR THEIR BABIES. KEEPERS DO NO HAVE TO SHOW THEM. IT'S AN INNATE UNDEERSTANDING WITH ALL LIVING BEINGS, UNLESS MOTHERS DO NOT WANT THEIR BABIES, OR FOR SOME MEDICAL REASON THE GORILLA MOTHER INNATELY UNDEERSTAND AND LEAVE HER BABY TO GET HELP FROM THE HUMANS.
@darlingsapphire1 Sorry, yes instinct is a factor but ALL species learn from their mothers . Unfortnately instinct is not enough. This is simply fact !!!
@darlingsapphire1 compelled to add this...Instinct is supported by observation and daily experience resulting in learned behaviors. From good/bad things to eat to how/where to build a nest and caring for young. Nothing in nature is one size fits all and anything that helps get to a positive result is worth the effort.
No, these and the other gorillas you see in zoos are Western lowland gorillas. I believe there is one Grauer's gorilla and one Mountain gorilla in zoos in Europe.
Tusa, a gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo, prefers humans, too, since she was raised by them. But several years ago, they put her in with a troop and her unhappiness is evident for all to see. She's picked on by the others - even young Kayembe, who's about to turn 3. (He's obvious learned these behaviors from the others who don't understand Tusa's loud vocalizing, more like chimpanzee shrieks than low gorilla tones. Here's hoping Cleveland helps Tusa with her best life vs. the one they planned for her that's obviously not great. 🩵
