Gorilla Asante has a New Job

Filmed on the 19th of June 2026, Ozala isn't included in the troop yet. Asante has taken a great liking to little 4 year old Aarde, and watches over him like an anxious mother. Aarde already has some bite marks on him, but that's to be expected with gorilla introductions, probably it's why Asante has taken up body guarding duties. She and Shanga get along ok, Shanga is probably grateful for the childcare. #westernlowlandgorilla #gorilla #apes #greatapes #twycrosszoo #primates #primatesarenotpets #gorillas #gorillafamily #gorillaasante #gorillaaarde
