Discipline Breeds Respect and Affection
Apollo is spending more and more time these days with his brother's mother. He likes her! And who wouldn't? Jamani Gorilla is calm, patient, caring and sweet. On the other hand, she's no pushover, and when
Apollo gets out of hand she pulls him back in line. She'll hold his leg to immobilize him when he gets too frisky, and she'll even give him
a little bite on the shoulder if she has to. Full of energy,
Apollo Gorilla wears the other gorillas out!

This little dynamo is into the go, go, go method of enjoying life. Sure, he hangs out with his mom,
Olympia, when he needs a little snack. (Approaching the two year mark, he's not yet given up nursing.) And he'll remain long enough for a cuddle with Olympia at times, or take a nap on her furry self. But when Apollo's awake and wants to play, he twirls over to see big brother Bomassa, who's generally
quite near mom. And that is when you can sometimes sneak a peak of Apollo
looking up and gazing adoringly at Jamani.
