Noise, Kicking Doors And Windows - All Part Of The Pre Dinner Ritual
The chimps love to kick the doors and the windows before feeding time. Jambo the hairless chimp is running up to the metal door and kicking it with all his power. He doesn't just use one leg, he jumps up to the door with both of his legs kicking it. Everyone gets excited and they want to show off their power and I'm sure they do like the sound of kicking against the metal and the glass making the people jump.
The wide-angle view shows a bit more of the enclosure, but this is still only a small part. They have a big outdoor area and there is a big off view area as well. Unfortunately, they haven't managed yet to put the three separated chimpanzees in the main group yet. When this happens the space will double in size.
Jambo is balancing along the top. Even Coco (57) the oldest animal at Twycross Zoo and Jambos Mother is making herself heard. Hooting away on the rope.
Jambo is still the Alpha male in the group. I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with the females being quite fond of him and helping him when he gets challenged for the role by the younger male Kibali. In this video you'll see him at the end chasing after another chimp that's out of line, but that is rather rare. He is more likely to ignore confrontation if he can.
After dinner everyone is happy and it gets quiet. Coco is having her food and Flynn munching away in front of the window.
