These two were having a great time chasing each other round and round the shelter

Interesting shot. I've never seen these two playing before or even annywhere near each other. Probably now Namoki is more independant she can leave her mother to play with Komale, who I can see is still close too salome.
 
Komale didn't stray very far from his mother, but Namoki is certainly keen to explore on her own now. I haven't seen the two of them playing before either, so this was a real pleasure to witness :)
 
I think the gorilla island is going to seem a lot smaller than it has in the past - they are playing chasing games already and the chases will be getting faster and going on longer. Wouldn't it be lovely if Kera started to join in? When the big tree gets some decent growth they will be spending time up there too.

If you mean the pollarded Chestnut, it used to be hotwired, but maybe not anymore.

Kera still seems very much an outsider but maybe Namoki will play with her more in time.
