In late May, Douli and Akili separately rejoined Yanga's troop, who no longer had access to quarters of her own. She was even allowed to play with the newborn baby of the female gorilla Dafina. Whenever she felt that things were getting too animated, a gorilla would sit down between the young players and her. Yanga and the young male gorillas liked to play. She gradually gained in confidence and hardly retreated to her own quarters any more. In response, Yanga was put with a group where she would be safe, away from Douli and Akili. Her introduction moved backwards instead of forwards. ![]() As a result, she grew unavailable to not only Akili but also Douli, who loved to play with her – if perhaps a little too roughly. as she started isolating herself in her quarters more frequently and for longer periods of time. The zookeepers and Yanga reached a stalemate by mid-April. The first series of encounters left Yanga slightly timid, after which she retreated to her separate quarters. She received protection from the other members of the troop, who would create a stir in an attempt to distract the silverback. Her message was that of accepting his dominance. Yanga also displayed recognisable gorilla behaviour: she would make herself smaller, keep her head down and remain frozen. This behaviour may sound excessive, but it is nothing unusual for a male gorilla. When doing so, Akili would demonstrate his dominance by pushing her, looming over her, pounding on his chest and once even standing on top of her. In response, the silverback would immediately intervene and forcefully restore order. As Yanga was not raised in a troop, however, she was quick to scream when playing with the group's young male gorillas. Young gorillas only scream in case of panic. If others push them over, they just get back on their feet. By nature, gorillas grow up in a group and become accustomed to its dynamics at an early age. Made of durable synthetic material.Yanga has had several encounters with Akili since the previous stage of her introduction. Part of the Wild Life Series by Schleich. Maybe the cute babies will grow up to be big gorillas in your playroom someday? There are so many different games to play with this lifelike lowland gorilla family. Its sibling is much more active: trying to stand, crawling on all fours through the jungle and even climbing onto its mother’s back. It sits on the ground gazing around sleepily. One of the baby gorillas is probably still a bit tired. Leaning forward on her arms, the gorilla mom stands by her little ones and watches carefully to make sure they are safe. So realistic, even Mother Nature can't help but smile. There's so much to explore! This set of three schleich gorilla figurines captures the love between a mother and her children in beautiful detail. ![]() Schleich Product Information:In the heart of the jungle, a mother gorilla watches her little ones discover the world around them. They communicate through a variety of vocalizations, facial expressions, and body language. Gorillas are highly intelligent and social animals that live in groups called troops, which are led by a dominant male called a silverback. They are known for their distinctive physical features, such as their muscular build, large head, and hair covering their entire body except for their face, hands, and feet. Gorillas are herbivores and primarily eat leaves, stems, fruits, and flowers. There are two species of gorillas: the eastern gorilla (Gorilla beringei) and the western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla). They belong to the family Hominidae, which includes humans, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Gorilla Information:Gorillas are the largest living primates and are native to Africa. The calf is incredibly cute and adds a playful and endearing element to the set. The baby Gorilla calf is a solid light brown color and has its head up as if reaching for its mother. The mouth can hold the included green leafy piece. The head is up, with the mouth slightly open almost as if smiling, which adds to the figure's overall charm. The mother Gorilla figure boasts a dark brown body that transitions to grey lower legs, giving it a realistic and natural appearance. The Schleich Gorilla family set is a delightful addition to any collection. I like these sets and the Gorilla family is no exception.
