He is not way too old. They nurse UP to age 4 and sometimes longer. These are not small primates, they're great apes. They need longer nursing times for budding head crests (males), bigger bones, and larger muscles. I worked with 23 species of primates including Western Lowland Gorillas. The first four years are crucial, as they can develop Osteo issues just like us.@@MinPinsandPeeps
@@gorilladjeecotroopJabali appears to have hit a growth spurt and his nursing times increased. Tay will wean him soon. I think G'yasi nursed Tay until she was 4 as well.
Jabali is sulking because his Mum is weaning him.She is still loving and gentle towards him . He is a lovely , funny little character but needs to “Silverback up” Go on Jabali leave your Mum alone.
Jabali is getting so big! Looks like he’s filled out a little too!😊I think the weaning period has started. Mama doesn’t seem to have as much milk as before.
Those first four years are so crucial for bone and muscle development. If gorillas don't get enough bone building nutrients, they can suffer from OSTEO issues just like humans. And with Jabali hitting this growth spurt, he probably wants to nurse more than usual, which is completely normal. When I worked with Western Lowland Gorillas, we did several scans on their bone mass , and I was shocked at the changes, especially the females, as they can have menopausal symptoms/bone issues as they age as well. y@@MySkinnydip
Tay does her best to distract and support Jabali but he’s so determined and relentless. He needs stronger discipline or it will take forever to wean hm…🤷🏽🤷🏽🤷🏽
😢For those who've never worked with Western Lowland Gorillas or any other great ape species and think nursing times are too long, you're wrong. With larger bodies come larger developing bones, budding head crests (males), jaw growth, larger muscle mass, etc. And when they hit a growth spurt, their bodies are telling them to eat. Thats why most gorilla infants/young juveniles nurse UP TO age 4 and perhaps a little longer depending on their meeds. And since I worked with WLLG and other primates, here's something you don't know, and that is they can have osteo issues just like us. Yes, osteo issues, which means their bones can become brittle, they can develop osteoperosis, and many other issues. Jabali won't be 4 until Halloween, so he still has a few months to go. If this nursing bothers you, don't view Orangutans, as their big babbies can nurse UP to age 7. 😊😅
I have a question guys, when ringo and jabali will be silverbacks, will they go to the wild? Despite of Jabali is older than Ringo, Ringo is the copy of Djeeco, the face, the beauty and the talent like body chest. He would be the future Alpha. Jabali is the son of the love, Tayari is Djeeco’s favorite wife. I love also Ringo’s mom, she is so silent.
@@MarioSturnioloGO They probably won’t go to the wild. The only ones that I’ve heard of rewilding is thru the Aspinall foundation. Last I heard is Jabali will be going back to the Netherlands when he’s older. I don’t know about Ringo.
I’ve seen bigger and older nursing mom. Some moms bite the kid lightly to discourage nursing and some moms let the nurse til 6 years of age! 😂No thank you!🥲
小J露齒抗議還轉頭對著大家，應該是要大家評評理😆每次看都覺得超可愛🥰🥰🥰
喜歡看Jabali露齒抗議 太可愛了!😊
He is getting so big I think weaning him will be hard he protest with facials I never see any other baby gorilla make his faces it’s so cute
But, it’s not cute. He’s way way way too old.
@@MinPinsandPeepsthe mother gorilla decides how long she will nurse.some nurse til 4 yrs old.
Ringo does this too, but not as often as Jabali.

I think you're right about the weaning.
He doesn't seem to thrilled about it!...lol
@@djporter9434 No!🤣I’ve seen some scream their heads off and hit mama! Way older and bigger then him! I think his grimace face bothers mom too!😬
Jabali has indeed grown a lot taller and his belly has become bigger.

J寶你乖趕緊斷奶吧（雖然覺得你露齒很可愛）😆
但我們猩粉還等著T媽趕緊添個小猩女娃呢要乖啦🤗😆😆😆
對啊! 喜歡看Jabali露齒 太可愛了! 😊
😂 His face!
Tayari is such a good mother. I don't see many who get silly with their little ones, especially their boys. 🥰
Tayari被盧得受不了，對兒子施以壓肚懲罰，但被壓制的Jabali依然緊抓媽媽的ㄋㄟㄋㄟ不放😂🤣
對!這也是我覺得好笑的點，被媽媽坐壓，還是會抓媽媽的ㄋㄟㄋㄟ😆😆
Yeah that is a young boy who has had a front seat with a very loving mom. That smile made me uncomfortable 😕
Milk Bar is Closing Son!
🤣🤣🤣
Poor little mama's boy doesn't want to grow up. No more milk bar, Jabali. I wish you could stay little, too. 🥰❤
What are them 2 big bites on my beautiful Tayari ?? D’jeeco needs to take a chill pill when it comes to disciplining her 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Aparte SABEN Q las camaras de tv los espian su mirada triste e inquietud lo transmite

Way too late!
Momoko nursed Riki till he was 5!
@MinPinsandPeeps I think that three or four years old is normal for gorillas. Then it's time for a new baby.
@@djporter9434 Thank you for the information for a reference.😊
I think J will be a black back when mom runs out of milk.😅

Why won't she let him nurse?😢
He is a big boy now. She’s trying to wean him. But she has a hard time saying no.
BECAUSE HE IS A FULL GROWN GORILLA 🦍 AT THIS POINT!! It’s embarrassing he’s still nursing! Shows that zoos really do suck!
@@MinPinsandPeeps puede amamantar hasta los 4 o 5 años y Jabali solo tiene 3.

Not grandma, his mama!!!
