Детеныш гориллы и его семья

Spend time with the full Cleveland Metroparks Zoo gorilla troop in this calm and touching 8-minute video. The star, of course, is baby Kunda, just 6 months old and beginning to explore the world—always close to her mother, Kebi Moyo. Every tiny step she takes is watched closely by Kebi, who remains lovingly protective. 🦍💚

You'll also see the rest of the troop, including silverback Mokolo, quietly overseeing the group, and other adult gorillas relaxing nearby. Whether grooming, foraging, or resting, these moments show the rich emotional lives and strong family bonds of gorillas.

Kunda’s cautious curiosity is on full display. From peeking out from behind mom to gentle movements in the straw, this is an early glimpse of a baby gorilla just starting to build confidence.

Perfect for fans of baby gorilla development, peaceful zoo footage, and animal family stories. Especially engaging for women 55+ who appreciate the warmth and wonder of watching young animals grow up surrounded by love.

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Gorills Details:
Mokolo - born at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo, he came to Cleveland in 1994. At that time, he joined three younger gorillas to make up Cleveland's Bachelor Group. Eventually, we were left with only 2 gorillas, Mokolo & Bebac, then Bebac died in 2017 (from heart disease-not mentioned in the video). Mokolo is now 36 years old. He is the dad of Kayembe and Kunda. Females were brought to Cleveland starting in the Spring of 2017
Fredrika - At 49 years old, she is the oldest adult female in the troop. She is Kayembe's surrogate mom She has raised four babies of her own. She came to Cleveland from Zoo Miami in April of 2017.
Kebi - (Kebi Moyo) she came from the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in May of 2017. She had her first baby at the age of 8. Kebi's first baby is named Kambera Dupe and she is currently at Zoo Atlanta. Kebi is now 32 years old.
Nneka - born in San Francisco. She came to Cleveland in April 2018. She gave birth to Cleveland's FIRST baby gorilla in 2021 (a male named Kayembe). She is 25 years old. Nneka's first baby was raised by its grandmother because Nneka did not show any proper maternal care then (San Francisco Zoo). Today, Fredrika is raising Nneka’s second baby, Kayembe. Again Nneka, did not show proper maternal care for this baby either.
Tusa - she is the smallest and lowest ranking adult in the troop. She arrived in Cleveland in May of 2019 from the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo in New Mexico. Tusa is 32, but has her 33rd birthday on December 2nd. Tusa was hand reared by humans, and she can get very vocal when upset.
Kayembe - has the honor of being the first baby gorilla born at the Cleveland Zoo. He was born October 26, 2021, and is two years old now. Like most toddlers, he is very active. He plays most often with Fredrika and Nneka. His birth mom is Nneka, dad is Mokolo.
Kunda - is the second baby gorilla born at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. She was born July 19th 2023. Her mom is Kebi and her dad is Mokolo.
