Ozala and her son climb rocks while Silverback Oumbi inspects concrete for minerals. Playful moments, thumb-sucking Shufai
When a silverback needs space, you move. Ozala, with her little wood wool, walks to the top, making it easy for the silverback.
Oumbi takes her old spot, resting his back against the warm wall.
Shufai is up on the climbing frame being silly and now sucks his thumb, just like Asante and Lope do.
Oumbi walks along the bottom, searching for minerals on the concrete. When moisture dries, it sometimes leaves a light white film. Gorillas will lick surfaces if they detect any trace of minerals or salts. #gorillas #primates #gorillabehaviour #silverback #sloggervlogger

ℹ️ Did you know:
Silverback Gorilla Oumbi born at Howlett's is a direct descendant of some of the strongest male lines in captive gorilla history. His father, Bitam, was a Howletts-born silverback, sired in the wild, and a leading figure in the European breeding programme.
Bitam fathered many prominent offspring at Howletts, including Biju, Tamba, Ambam and Oumbi — making Biju and Oumbi half-brothers (same father, different mothers).
Biju went on to Japan, where he sired Gorilla Momotaro. This makes Oumbi the half-uncle of Momotaro.
Momotaro later sired Gentaro, making Gentaro Oumbi’s half-great-nephew.
Through his father Bitam, Oumbi carries the strong Howletts legacy.
Through his half-brother Biju, nephew Momotaro, and great-nephew Gentaro, Oumbi is also connected to the Japanese Kyoto and Ueno lines.
This positions Oumbi as a male linking two major bloodlines — the Howletts Tam/Bitam line and the Kyoto Biju/Momotaro line — a connection between two of the most influential breeding programmes in Europe and Japan.

(Tamba is Bitam’s daughter and Oumbi’s half-sister.)
Lope, born at Twycross Zoo in 2013, is Oumbi’s son.
This makes Lope the grandson of Bitam and the great-nephew of Biju.
Through this, Lope stands directly in line with both the European Howletts bloodline and the Japanese Kyoto line.
Shufai (also known as Mijadala at birth), born in 2016 at Twycross Zoo, is the youngest son of Oumbi and Ozala — and the younger brother of Lope.
Shufai shares the same combined Howletts and Kyoto bloodlines, carrying forward this legacy.
✅ Summary:
Oumbi is son of Bitam and half-brother of Biju.
Oumbi is the half-uncle of Momotaro (son of Biju).
Gentaro (son of Momotaro) is Oumbi’s half-great-nephew.
Tamba is Oumbi’s half-sister (also sired by Bitam).
Lope and Shufai are Oumbi’s sons, carrying both Howletts and Kyoto bloodlines.
