ONE DAY OLD BABY GORILLA TOUCHED BY SISTER THANDIE

  • The gorilla family in Antwerpen has a new family member! Baby 'V' was born on 24th of June 2020. We don't know yet if it's a boy or girl but we do know that it's name will start with the letter 'V'. Because in Belgium it's the year of the letter 'V'.
    The mother of this little one is Mambele and the father is Matadi.
    The little one has a bigger (half)sister called Thandie (born 26-11-2018). Thandie is a daughter of Matadi and Mayani. It's amazing how Mambele lets Thandie come so close to her and the baby and even touch the baby sometimes.
    I hope you'll enjoy these tender moments of baby gorilla 'V' being one day old.
    You might notice Mambele her mouth is a lot open, she does that when she's relaxed. I used to do that too, that's why I find her so special
    Matadi, the silverback of this group comes from Twycross Zoo (as you might now). They're in big financial stress because of the lockdown the last months. If you can and want to help, you can donate to the zoo directly by this link : twycrosszoo.or....

    I hope everything goes alright with this little one!
    Mambelle is one of my favourite gorillas but her history with her 2 previous children did not fare so well.
    Here's wishing her and baby all the best❤️

      She holds the baby right this time and the baby drinks very well. She seems to have learned by seeing Mayani and Thandi. Hope everything keeps going well 🤞
