      Silverbacks are much more gentle than ppl think. Kawame is a good father. If you’re interested, there’s another silverback who’s a gentle, playful and an exceptionally patient father to his 2 young boys who “gang up” on him. They climb on boulders behind him and dive bomb onto his giant head, they play the drums on his head…he’s basically a jungle gym. His name is D’Jeeco and he’s at the Taipei Zoo. There are plenty of videos out there-it’s fun to watch the double trouble.😊❤

      Please watch the gorillas in the Taipei, Taiwan Zoo. The silverback is D'Jeeco, wife Tayari with son Jabali and other wife Iriki with son Ringo. I don't know if you watch them, but this family is very unique with D'Jeeco being the most gentle, patient, playful, and loving father to his very rambunctious rascal sons. If you haven't watched them before you will be for a very pleasant viewing and I think you will fall in love with them.

    • @beckyshell4649
      @beckyshell4649 4 месяца назад +1

      Male baboons will take the female’s young from her to cuddle and play .This makes him appear to be a good father prospect. When the same male and young would be around each other the male would be rough with the baby if the mother wasn’t close to see the interaction.

    I never saw a Silverback hold his baby like that. ( Usually seems like the Dads I have watched would love to hold their babies like this, but the babies seem to squirm away or want to play instead) This is such a special bond between Dad and his Son. Dad is such a gentle, affectionate and sweet Silverback.
    Also cute how the female @1:18 is patting her Babies little back! ( Don't know any names, 1st time seeing this family. Have to watch them now!! )
    Thank you for sharing!! After watching this video I Have add another Gorilla family to my "Watch list" Not enough hours in the day to watch these Amazing Families and such precious moments!!
    Any details about the Family you can add? Any interesting history? Behaviors/quirks about the family? Love learning about new Gorilla Families and cute, funny or interesting facts about the members adds to the fun. Thank you
