Was there a lot of noise and was that why she holding her ears?? Is one of the babies hers, idk anything much about this troop. But they seem more like chimpanzees because they are all holding babies and checking everything out usually the moms don’t allow any of that going on ❤

@@VA4LVRS I don't know the details of the video, but this family does hold one ear on a regular basis. Interestingly, Shinda and Kijuvu's brother Hakao's in Japan children hold their ears too. Typically gorillas hold their ears if they are stressed, but the family's one ear holding seems to be either learned or genetic from generations before. Just like their excellent parenting. Their Mom's Mouila and Kriba from Australia, originally I think Appaunal (sp) were fantastic Moms and Kijivu passed it to Moja and Moja passed it to Duni. Apparently Frala, Shinda's mom wasn't that great as a Mom, but she grew up with Kriba and Mouila and of course, practiced with Kijivu's kids. Baby sharing in this family is a long established practice. Shinda seemed to be the dominant gorilla - (is Duni taking over?) and would steal the babies from her sister Kijivu constantly. Either Kijivu has a lot of trust for Shinda - which I believe she has and/or she had children in fairly quick succession and was a bit tired. Gorillas have been known to take each other's baby's if they are more dominant and show them off to the silverback, because it may confer status. Richard the former silverback used to get very annoyed by all the baby borrowing. The new silverback has come into a family with very strong ties and deep long lasting relationships. And Duni is Moja's daughter so Kijivu is her grandmother and I think on some level - smell, telepathy somehow, they know there is a kinship. Duni is not used to the baby sharing and from another video I saw it may have been stressing her out and she just took the baby, apparently for three hours napped with her and nursed! Kijivu would be stressed by that length of time and thus both hands were over her ears. Just my opinion based on observation from years of watching this family although latterly when people are kind enough to post. They used to be on a 24/7 cam until some people started complaining and making trouble for the zoo and they decided to discontinue it. It was heartbreaking.

Just adding, I can't say for sure if Duni is not used to baby sharing as she was in Spain and possible her Mom did baby share too.

Yes, one of the babies is Duni's.

No ona byla dlouhá Leta jediná maminka s mladëtem I vice detićkami v Praze, tak chtëli ostatni si užit Ty mlade

Kojivu je velmi obëtavá přinosna pro ostatni, ale zdá se, že Duni je dobrá vychovatelka

@@bambalooza1979 , Ano, rozumím a souhlasím. Kijivu je submisivnější než ostatní. Shinda je jednoznačně dominantní. Dokonce se často snažila Richardovi šéfovat. Kambo, bylo smutné, že přišla o chlapečka. Ale vstoupila do toho, aby se stala 2. matkou Kijiviných dětí a dala Kijivě občas pauzu. Bylo smutné, že Kamba přišla o dítě. Ale dokázala být matkou všem miminkům. Kamba a Tatu spolu byli krásní. Můj Tatu mi moc chybí. Byl to vzácná a něžná duše. První noc po narození Baby Kiburi bylo natočeno Tatuovo video. Tatu stál před Kijivou, velmi smutný a zmatený a snažil se lehnout si k mamince. Tatu vypadal tak zlomeně, že k němu přišla Sladká Kamba, vzala ho a vyspala se s ním. Kamba mu pomohla napravit srdce, ale Moja nebyla šťastná, když přišla o 1. maminku a pak Kambu s Tatu. Nemůžu najít video!! Hledali znovu a znovu. Myslím, že to bylo, když měla Praha kameru Gorila, protože to bylo v noci, byl tam zvuk. Nyní si myslím, že to bylo odstraněno. Rád bych to viděl znovu. **** Překládám z angličtiny do češtiny.
