Gorilla Lope has delighted visitors to Twycross Zoo for a decade
He has now matured growing big and strong in what seems like a flash
In this video he had just moved away from his family group into his own enclosure / Bachelor Pad to prepare for his planned move to another Zoo rumour to be in France
Since this video was recorded in late August 2023 he had been put in quarantine ready for the move and has not been allowed outdoors. Visitors had been informed via Twycross Zoo social media that weekend of 11th / 12th November 2023 would be the last opportunity to see him at Tw2ycross Zoo before he moves on to the next chapter of his life
He will be greatly missed by us and all staff and visitors of the Zoo but we wish him well and him a happy future with his new Gorilla family
The is a few particular charming parts during the video when he is troubled by a fly and tries to catch it on his head! and when he shows off his ever increasing strength lifting up one of the wooden poles on his climbing equipment- don't think it was built to be Lope proof!
Oh and the wonderful way he sniffs his food before he eats it!
At the end of the video the signage Twycross Zoo put up near his enclosure gives an explanation of Lopes departure from his family and the zoo
The keepers explained to us it was to avoid tension growing between himself and his father; dominant male Oumbi and his future had been planned out as part of the breeding programme from his birth
He is scheduled to be moved to another zoo as part of the European breeding program.
#Gorilla Family, the other members of his Gorilla Troop are:
Dad Silverback - Oumbi
Mum - Ozala
Grandmother - Biddy
Aunt - Asante
Brother - Shufai
Twycross Zoo is the only Zoo in the UK where you can see The 4 Great Apes Chimpanzees, Gorillas, Bonobos and Orangutans
