Western Lowland Gorillas (with Baby Gorilla) Taronga Zoo Sydney Australia

In this video of the Taronga Zoo Sydney Western Lowland Gorillas you can see an Alpha Male, a Female and a Baby Gorilla. The Alpha Male French Gorilla is named Kibali. Kibali’s arrival from France at Taronga Zoo was a welcomed change for the previous Silverback called Kibabu.Western gorillas are generally lighter colored than eastern gorillas. Western lowland gorillas can be brown or greyish with a yellowish forehead and also have an overhanging tip on their nose that is absent in eastern gorillas.Western gorillas live in groups that vary in size from two to twenty individuals. Such groups are composed of at least one male, several females and their offspring. A dominant male silverback heads the group, with younger males usually leaving the group when they reach maturity. Females transfer to another group before breeding, which begins at eight to nine years old; they care for their young infant for the first three to four years of its life. The interval between births, therefore, is long, which partly explains the slow population growth rates that make the western gorilla so vulnerable to poaching.Sydney Taronga Zoo Animals.Australia Taronga Zoo.Gorillas at Taronga Zoo.Taronga Zoo Sydney Australia.Taronga Zoo Baby Western Lowland Gorillas Sydney.Kibali Gorilla Sydney Taronga Zoo.Taronga Zoo Gorilla Kibali Australia.Kibali French Gorilla.Watch our other WorldWide Travel videos & Subscribe for more to come.
