Blackback Gorilla Taunts silverback - Epic

*Aybo taunts Dishi with his upside-down chest beat while Lope watches. Their playful antics create a fun moment as Dishi tries to keep up with the agile young gorilla.*

Gorilla Lope runs after Aybo. He swings away while Lope throws himself on his back. Seconds later, Aybo swings towards Lope and pushes him. Lope sits down with a big play face and takes his wood wool, placing it on Aybo's head. Lope moves away as Dishi gets restless. When they play too long, Dishi comes between the two, and Lope moves away.

Dishi charges after Aybo and then sits down. Aybo is so funny. He really is a young Lope. Just look at him dangling from that hose upside down. The hoses perfectly hold him and on top of that, he beats his chest upside down. I wonder if he’s not Ozala’s love child, lol.

Aybo swings on the hose towards Dishi, who is looking at him, holding the hose. Aybo struggles a bit to get back up again and instead falls to the bottom. Lope is sitting further on the right.

Aybo holds the hose with his foot while swinging towards the silverback. Dishi has his hands on the fire hose. After a couple more swings, Dishi puts his foot on the hose. Then the silverback decides to come down backwards on the hose. As he’s being careful to come down, Aybo all of a sudden jerks the hose, so the silverback falls off, but he manages to hold on with his arms. Dishi looks bewildered but lets it go at first. Then, when Aybo climbs above him, he tries to catch him. He looks like he wants to climb after Aybo, but Aybo is just too agile for him, so he waits and then charges. Aybo still taunts Dishi by grabbing him. Lope stays out of the way up on the top ledge.

Dishi and Aybo are back on the top ledge, and Dishi is getting fed up with Aybo following him. Aybo continues to annoy the big guy. You can just see Lope on the top. Aybo climbs up and hangs upside down again. Dishi moves, Aybo runs after him, and Lope charges up to the top. As I can’t really see Lope that well, I’m sticking with Aybo and Dishi. Dishi still tries to get away from the annoying blackback, lol. Aybo has his tactics down, as he uses this approach.

Dishi is standing up with his mouth open, showing his teeth, and one-arm chest beating so he can try and grab the hose with his other hand. Aybo comes down and sits in front of the silverback. Dishi gets up, approaches carefully, and then pounces on Aybo. Dishi then does a Lope, showing Aybo his bum and lifts his leg up. He then lies down on his back. Aybo attacks him, and it looks like he's biting the silverback’s feet, maybe.

Continuing on the ladder, the sunlight from the window makes it more difficult, but I’m trying my best to make it viewable. I thoroughly enjoyed their little interaction."

Due to background noise from human activity, the original audio has been mixed with natural bird songs for a more peaceful viewing experience. Where possible, I will keep the natural sound intact.
