Gorilla Lope’s Backward Bipedal Walk At Feeding Time

This was filmed a couple of weeks before Lope got moved to his Twycross bachelor Pad. Lope spent most of his time in the cave on his own as his dad Silverback Oumbi didn’t want him around the family anymore. I hated seeing him like that and I’m glad he was moved before there were any physical fights between him and his dad. The only thing I wish is that Shufai his brother could have gone with him. His little bro walked past the cave ignoring his big brother. Normally he did check up on him. Lope comes out of the cave to have a little wonder. Lope spends some time in the hut with wood wool hanging from his head. He rarely went inside anymore. Only when he was sure he could avoid his dad. When he gets up, a little leg swings. He moves towards his brother who is quite hidden under the frame, but then it’s feeding time. One of the keepers fed Oumbi on one side and the other fed Lope on the other side. To keep them apart. Luckily Oumbi just got his food and went straight back inside. Lope had a little side look making sure Oumbi stayed away. Lope walks upright to catch some food and then charges through the grass, passing Grandma Biddy. Ozala sitting at the bottom and sweet Asante waiting her turn, she moves to sit on the rock when Ozala comes up the slope. Watch the back as Biddy is trying to get inside, but Shufai stops her by hitting the flap with both fists. A couple of close-ups, and Lope the master at Bipadel walk, now walks backwards. He gets himself a piece of hose which normally has some treats in it which they have to get out with a stick or their fingers. He has a short chase after his brother at the end of the video. This was another video of Lope that I kept rescheduling for newer videos. Normally on Thursday, you’ll see gorilla troops from my travels, but as I haven’t managed to visit any gorilla troops since the Budapest series I thought this was a good time to show you these videos of Lope that I still had. Lope is now in France with a Silverback called Dishi and another blackback called Aybo.
