Gorillas Kunda and Kayembe Take Over the Tower! #gorillas

Welcome back to Larry's Animal Safari! In today's visit to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Kunda and Kayembe spend nearly the entire morning high atop one of the gorillas' favorite wooden towers. For more than five minutes, the two young gorillas wrestle, climb, chase, and test each other's skills while keeping a watchful eye on the rest of the troop below. Their playful interactions provide a great look at how young gorillas develop coordination, confidence, and social bonds through play. Also Jameela makes a brief appearance as she explores the outer ledge of the habitat. Join us for a fun morning high above the gorilla habitat as Kunda and Kayembe put on quite a show for zoo visitors! 📍 Cleveland Metroparks Zoo 🦍 Featuring Kunda, Kayembe, and a special appearance by Jameela 📷 Filmed by Larry's Animal Safari - Sharing Cleveland's gorilla stories for over four years now.
