Silverback Gorilla Mbeli Introduced to his Female Troop - Cincinnati Zoo

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Our new silverback, Mbeli, is now being housed with the Chew Crew full-time. They continue to do well, learning how to act as a cohesive group. With gorillas, animal care professionals know a troop is doing well based on key social behaviors. Spending time in proximity to each other, sharing food, and lots of relaxed lounging are positive signs we see frequently with Mbeli's new gorilla family! This great video is brought to you by Great American Insurance Group.

    With gorillas they only make eye contact if they want to mate or threaten. Obvs if a female makes eye contact with a male it's to mate for a male to make eye contact with another male its a threatening dominant thing. They actually say if you ever go travelling and stumble across a silver back you make yourself as low as possible and put your head down... for the reasons I've just said above x

    You can see a lot of human traits in how the male gorilla acts. He's being totally non-threatening with his body language, keeps his shoulders low, doesn't flex at all. Never stands on his hind legs or bares his teeth. When the other females are huddling wondering what to do he doesn't invade their space and sits down with his hands and arms down. He lets them approach him, they come 90 he comes ten. Dudes at the club might learn a bit from this guy about how to approach women.

    They do these introductions very carefully now, give the gorillas plenty of time to get to know each other through a barrier before ever letting them physically interact with each other. Most zoos that have gorillas know a lot more about their natural behaviours than zoos used to, and watch for cues telling them it's safe to let them in the same space together, while always giving the females the option of "escaping" if they want to.

    A meeting with the ladies "will we let him stay here, or.....?" That was lovely when the big boy put his arm around the younger one, he could have wiped the floor with him if he was aggressive. Rosemary 72 years

    That was a female, not a young male. This troop contains only Mbeli and his four females. There are no other males.

    Is that a young male at the end? The head shape looked like that of a male and the mouth looked like it was sticking out more like that of a male. Looked a bit confrontational at first but then the young one backed down and Mbeli accepted him and pulled him away from the edge.

    No, it's a female; all the other gorillas in the group are females. I think that one is the biggest and oldest female.

    Does the "Troop" consist of 1 male and all the rest females or are there multiple males in the "Troop". If there are multiple males, do they work together OR is there a competition to determine hierarchy?

    @@danielvalenzuela8814 From the previous videos I’ve watched from the Cincinnati Zoo, initially Mbelli was the only gorilla in the enclosure. They were allowing him to get familiar with it before they introduced the females. They indicated that 3 females would be brought in to join Mbelli. It’s possible that another male could be there, but I did not see him. I believe this video introduces the 3 females…😊

    I have seen bachelor troops in some zoos. I believe San Diego has one. There would have to be just due to the numbers of males and females. Hopefully someone that works with these animals will pop in with an answer.
