Silverback Gorillas are the largest primates in the world, weighing up to 400 pounds (180 kg) and standing up to 6 feet (1.8 m) tall when on two legs. Silverback gorillas are known for their immense strength and intelligence and are considered to be highly social animals, living in groups called troops.
Oumbi lives in Twycross Zoo in the U.K. He is a huge Silverback Gorilla that used to be grumpy from time to time.
Oumbi was a Western Lowland Gorilla. These Gorillas are inhabitants of Western Africa and are vulnerable species.
Luckily, Oumbi has a son. Lope is a cute little gorilla who has a lot of energy that he wants to consume with his dad.
The funny video captured the moment when Lope wanted to have fun but Oumbi decided to rest at that moment.
And as gorillas, chimpanzees, and other species of apes are close to human genes level they act like the regular human family.
Lope ran aroung and acted sillily. He trew some wood wool on his dad’s face but even this didn’t make his dad come and play. He continued sitting under the pavilion and wait until his naughty son will leav him alone.
But after a few attempts the father gave in and put some wood wool on his had in order to satisfy his son.
Watch the video below to make sure that gorrila families are exactly the same as human families.
