- Description
- Silverback western lowland gorillas like Baraka are fantastic guardians and protectors of their troop. Every now and then, though, Baraka is the recipient of a sneak attack—from none other than his 4-year-old son, Moke! Occasionally, he indulges Moke and joins in the fun. During a recent play bout, they both brought some signature moves, from Baraka's "spin-and-pin" to Moke's "toe tickle!" In a father-son wrestling match, everybody wins. . . . Turn up the volume and listen for low, breathy, staccato vocalizations—that is what gorilla laughter sounds like! . . . #GorillaStory . . .
