Gorilla Lope News Flash! by SloggerVlogger Gorilla Lope NEWS! He's in France at Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon and he met his new troop! The French Zoo wrote "In the past few weeks, 2 gorillas have arrived to form a group with male silverback Dishi. Indeed, Aybo arrived from Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands and Lope arrived from Twycross Zoo in the UK. The contact of the 3 gorillas was done gradually and calmly. All 3 of them are now together on a daily basis and interacting positively!" I hope he's as happy as he was in this short :-) We will miss him so much, but I'm so happy to finally get this news. Good luck Lope with your next chapter in life. Show the silverback who's boss! lol.

Adding a tiny piece of text saying “they’re not pets guys” doesn’t mean this isn’t HORRIBLY irresponsible “science” communication. Multiple studies have shown that images and videos like this can and do encourage the exotic pet trade.

This is NOT how you interact with animals that you will send back to the wild.

The fact that she has 1.3 million followers is disturbing

Caturday Special: The Scottish Wildcat (Felis silvestris grampia)

Caturday Special: The Scottish Wildcat (Felis silvestris grampia) - The UK's only extant wildcat species and a true tabby beauty. The wildcat faces so many problems it leads us to the question of what a species even is.

Boop! Captive wildcat mother and her kitten at the British Wildlife Centre, Surrey. Notice the thicker-set face, the slight…well chonkiness compared to a domestic cat? That and the banded, round-ended tails are basically the only way to tell them apart. (Credit: Peter Trimming CC-BY-2.0) A sub-species of the European wildcat, the Scottish wildcat is as near and dear to my heart as anything…

Famous Upright Walking Female Gorilla Tamba During this video famous female Gorilla Tamba from the Port Lympne Wild animal park in Kent is walking upright (bipetal) a few times. She's the aunt of Gorilla Lope and Shufai and just like her famous brother Ambam. A real family trade. They don't just do it for a few seconds, they actually feel very comfortable walking in the upright position. If you watched this channel before, you know Gorilla Lope does it on a regular basis and his younger brother Shufai also walks upright. Tamba is waiting for some food at the feeding site. Here, the food gets thrown down from the roof. I'm not sure who the female was that was with her. A big branch of leaves gets thrown down which Tamba grabs and she straight away goes to the upright position with her branch of leaves in her hand. In her famous video, she did this with her newborn son Louango in her arms, who is now 4 years old. More from Louango next week. She walks to the rocks, climbs up and enjoys her lunch. She climbs back down and has the rest sitting on the grass. Just look at her, how she is standing there, it's just amazing. Tamba gathers some more food and even has a clap at the end. I didn't get Ambam walking upright, but Tamba made my day. The queen of upright walks. #sloggervlogger #sloggervloggergorillas #GorillaTamba Don't forget to subscribe and hit that notification bell for more!

Hythe

WHERE I HAVE BEEN 540 Hythe is a small coastal market town on the edge of Romney Marsh, in the District of Shepway on the south coast of Kent. The town has medieval and Georgian buildings, as well as a Saxon/Norman church on the hill and a Victorian seafront promenade. The Royal Military Canal passes through the town. Hythe is the northern terminus of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. There is an excellent hotel in Hythe - The Imperial. The church of St Leonard's in Hythe is known as "the church with the bones," on account of its famous ossuary containing a large collection of human bones. Not far away is Port Lympne Wild Animal Park. I visited Hythe a number of times when I lived in Kent, mostly with my wife but I also stayed at the Imperial Hotel circa 1990 on a BT management conference.

Unusual Locations for the Most Memorable Wedding Reception

Unusual Locations for the Most Memorable Wedding Reception

You can have the most elegant wedding dress and the most romantic setting for the ceremony itself, but if your reception is lacklustre,then you stand a good chance of ruining your special day. The reception is an easily underappreciated element of your wedding day, and it will pay off on the day itself if you make the location and ambience unique. The good news is that the UK isrife with plenty of beautiful wedding reception destinations. With a little forethought and some fun planning, you could be enjoying the glow of your post-wedding bliss in some of the most stunning locations in Britain.

Best for Animal Lovers

Having a wedding reception in the local community centre or pub is a cheap and easy solution to your plans, but it’s not going to be memorable or beautiful no matter how much you decorate with lights and tablecloths. If you and your future spouse are animal lovers, then you might want to consider looking at a wildlife-themedvenue, such as the Port Lympne Wild Animal Park and Mansion in Kent. With an incredible on-site animal reserve, you can even take your wedding itself to the grounds. Port Lympne has a variety of stunning environments to choose from, with the Italian inspired terraces a popular choice. Post-wedding activities are not going to be difficult either, with guests able to take part in a VIP safari that can even involve incredible giraffe feeding.

Best for Embracing the Great Outdoors

Although the weather in the UK can be more than a little temperamental, having a wedding reception in the great outdoors has never been more popular. You have a wide range of options available to choose from, and whether you choose a natural cliff edge vista or a field in the middle of the beautiful, English countryside, it’s wise to be prepared. Consider sudden weather changes and always opt for the best fromPosh Garden Marqueesthat will compliment the elegance of your wedding ceremony. Using an outdoor location for your reception will mean that the younger guests will have the space to run around and exhaust themselves, as the grown ups enjoy the lush surroundings.

Best for Cultural Resonance

There’s nothing like a little historical splendour to add a unique touch to your reception and to your wedding day itself. All across the United Kingdom,there are castles and country homes with long and fascinating histories, but if you want some dramatic impact to your reception,then you won’t go far wrong with The Crypt at Bleeding Heart in East London. Not only is it the site where King Henry VIII once held a three-day wedding feast way back in 1531, but there’s something truly magical about this London spot. Expect some jokes about beheading, but allow yourself just to sit backand relax in the stunning gothic architecture.

While the majority of your wedding preparations will be focusedon the ceremony itself, it’s always a good idea to give some serious thought to the kind of reception that you and your partner are dreaming about. Choose a destination that reflects your relationship and your shared interests, and your reception will be the ideal end of your special day, and the best start to your future together.
