Baby Gorillas Steal Dad’s Throne—See How He Reacts!

What happens when two playful baby gorillas decide to hijack their silverback dad’s favorite throne? At the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, young siblings Kayembe and Kunda set their sights on Mokolo’s beloved hammock—the one spot in the habitat that usually belongs only to him. What unfolds is 20 minutes of laugh-out-loud antics, heartwarming family moments, and a surprising lesson in gorilla parenting.

Watch as Kunda bravely climbs onto the edge of the hammock, waking up Mokolo in the process. Instead of stopping her, this powerful silverback does the unthinkable—he gives up his throne! Soon, both Kayembe and Kunda are bouncing, wrestling, and even dragging blankets into their new play space. From daring jumps to hilarious tumbles, these baby gorillas know how to have a good time.

But when Kayembe gets a little too rough, Mokolo steps in. The way he disciplines his son—and then calmly reclaims his hammock—shows exactly why silverbacks are not just protectors, but also patient and wise fathers.
