Gorilla Asante, Warrior Princess

Ever since little Aarde came into her life, Asante has had a purpose. That purpose is to protect him and watch over him, even if it means confronting Oumbi. I guessed Oumbi had made some move towards Aarde, but it was Shufai disappearing through the back door as I started to film, so maybe he was also involved. Asante was definitely telling Oumbi off though, and apparently had even barked at him in defence of her little ward. Asante, you marvellous gorilla, we salute you! #westernlowlandgorilla #gorilla #apes #greatapes #twycrosszoo #primates #primatesarenotpets #gorillafamily #silverbackoumbi #silverback #silverbackgorilla #gorillaasante
