*Twycross Zoo Gorillas: Grandma enjoys lunch while Shufai faces a leaf dilemma. Something in the branch makes him reluctant to touch it. Oumbi and Ozala investigate. At lunch, Shufai tightrope walks for cabbage*

As promised, I'll keep you up to date with the Gorilla family from Twycross Zoo.
Next week, more from the ZooParc de Beauval in France.

Gorilla Grandma has got her table to eat her lunch. Shufai has an issue with the branch of leaves. There must be an insect or something in there as he's reluctant to touch it. He takes a different branch instead. Oumbi and Ozala go and check it out as well, with Silverback Oumbi having a real close look. Ozala has another look. Shufai now sits in the bunk above, looking down at it. I zoomed in closer but couldn't see anything obvious. When Shufai sits on the log, he looks at it again and wipes it across the floor.

Outside, Asante sits on the top of the climbing frame while the others are busy inside. At lunch, everyone is outside. Today for lunch, it seems like they are getting a Napa cabbage. Shufai comes out, tightrope walking to the hut's roof to get his lunch, with Grandma Biddy down below. Shufai got the cabbage out of the barrel, and Ozala collects it down at the bottom. She takes it up high to enjoy her food on top of the platform. Down below, Oumbi and Biddy are enjoying theirs in harmony for a change. Biddy is on alert, though, when he walks by her. The last clip shows Biddy having a scratch.
