@@TrinitywhispersIt is objectively observable that Effie shows little affection towards her young baby compared to most other mother gorillas.

Wow that is the first time I've ever seen a gorilla mother put her baby on the ground for such a long period of time and not engage. Gorilla babies are usually on their mothers constantly for the first 8 months until they start learning to walk. The baby went toward her and she just pushed it away. Maybe the mother is having postpartum depression. 😢

The baby needs to start practicing how to walk like a gorilla…..while mom grabs a little bit of much needed rest. She placed the baby on the blanket so it wouldn’t get dirty. She’s a good gorilla mommy.

​@SquirrelsLondon Well she's probably German that's why. Cold and Distant!

She is protecting her baby and feeding it. Maybe she has an underlying health condition either mentally or physically, or she herself did not have a good mother. Just like people gorillas learn from each other in the same ways as we do. It isn't just instinct like many other animals. I noticed in another video when the other female sat beside her in what appeared to be a friendly gesture, rather than a dominance one - hard to tell - she rejected her advances. I watched Bagira with Nafi and it is a miracle Nafi survived with big brothers rough housing her and no protection. She learned to always be near her mother and walk underneath her to avoid them. Her mother was constantly putting her knuckles on her and pushing her to the ground to get away from her, but she fed her and she survived. Thank you for the great videos!

Effie did not have a good mother or possibly her mother did not know how to care for babies.. Her mother Salome did not raise any of her kids, they were all hand reared. This may be a big part of the problem. Her older half-brother Gino is at Disney Animal Kingdom and his mate Azizi struggled with knowing how to care for her babies, she was hand reared too. Azizi and others with this problem have managed and Effie seems like she is trying.

@@lm9991 I think Effie raised her son Gernot, but I have never seen any videos of her with him, only photos. I agree about her possibly feeling out of place. Tusa at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo was hand reared and seems to isolate herself. I guess that's why zoos try to get babies back with gorillas as young as possible.

If anyone paid attention to the entire video, instead of focusing on the closest gorilla would actually observe both mother's actions towards their babies. And imo it's very similar. And remember that they are gorillas and nature is nature. Gorilla's that are unfortunately captive and deserve to be free.

The mother is just teaching the baby to roll over and start pushing up. Gorilla mother’s are smart enough to know there’s no danger at the area of their enclose. Just as Orangutans will have more babies closure together in zoo’s or aquarium’s than in the wild because of the security and they get plenty of food. Go try to take her baby and you seen her pull baby back as soon as another gorilla got to close. Also as soon as other baby finished nursing it’s mother put her/him down to also work on their motor skills. I’m sorry you darling gorilla mom’s that so many human’s say such foolish thing’s because they understand the topic.
