Gorilla Chaos Erupts While the Silverback Babysits

At Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, young gorillas Kunda and Kayembe bring the drama, the fun, and a few surprise moves.
Kayembe, now full toddler, pushes limits like a pro.
Kunda? Curious, bold, and not afraid to test the boundaries.
And Mokolo, the 400-pound silverback, plays the world’s most patient babysitter—watchful, silent… and maybe just a little done.

There’s no voice-over and no edits—just real gorilla behavior caught on camera.

Did Mokolo’s signature stare send Kunda back to Mom?

How many times did the glass get bonked?

And what exactly was Kayembe plotting?

Watch closely, laugh freely, and join the conversation.
