    I want to be the first to say that my guesses are often off.
    and I do not know why the Kyoto City Zoo would like to pair Gentaro with a female gorilla from a foreign zoo instead of a domestic zoo.
    However, it is true that the Chiba City Zoo will have a new gorilla breeding facility.
    What I would like to see in the new facility is an outside area that is large enough, natural, with grass and trees, and not enclosed in a cage.
    I want the gorillas to be able to lie on the grass, bask in the sunlight, feel the breeze, and relax.
    The indoor area should also avoid bare concrete and steel as much as possible,
    I would like the interior areas to be designed based on the concept of organic design.
    By the way, regarding the gorillas at the Higashiyama Zoo, nothing has been made public yet about the future of Shabani's son Kiyomasa or daughter Annie.
    If we get any more information, we will share it.
    And today, September 21, is the birthday of Lola, a female gorilla at Chiba City Zoological Park. 🎂Please congratulate her.
    This is an observation video channel of gorillas in Japan.

    Thank you for your care and time spent in providing us with this information. To ignore the benefits of uniting Gentaro and Annie doesn't make real sense, and as for splitting up D’jeeco’s troop, that is deplorable. Because zoos in Japan don’t seem to have the space for proper habitat, the captive gorillas suffer, confined to just one or two gorillas or ones put in solitary confinement, like the two mentioned in the video. I am also concerned for Gentaro’s immediate future and see a danger of him staying with Father Momotaro. Let him be with Annie, please!

      This is along the lines of what I read myself, however, the last thing I read about 2 months ago, was that there were not enough Staff to take care of what they have now...maybe that's changed...at any rate, they need a facility to get Gentaro out of Kyoto because the time will come where some real harm will happen. He is nearly a silverback now.

    I HATE this idea and here’s why. Tayari and Iriki are happy in D’Jeeco’s troop. I would hate either of them to be uprooted from all they know to be breeding machines for Japan. Just the idea makes me want to cry. The distress of separation, the trauma of transport, then a lower standard of care. Plus they’ll be old in gorilla terms by then. I accept that Jabali and Ringo will one day leave their mothers but I want the 2 boys to be together for as long as they are bonded. Why oh why doesn’t Kyoto do the logical and sensible thing of pairing Gentaro and Annie?! It makes no sense! Same age, closer geographically, both adapted to Japans lower standard of care. I’m miserable now.

      Just want to add that the way zoos ship animals around the world multiple times is disgusting. We saw what Momotaro experienced when he moved to Kyoto. He’s still traumatised when he sees white helmets. Iriki and Tayari already experienced the pain of separating from their family against their wishes and being flown in a crate across the world. Please don’t put them through it again. :(

I couldn’t imagine one of them being taken away from their silverback whom they are accustomed to and have a great bond with them. I always thought Annie would be the best choice. I am happy to know that the other zoo Gentaro is owed by is building a new area for him but 10 years good lord. What are they going to do with him until then. Let him live in isolation like Monta. This will destroy is wonderful social skills. Sounds like Japan has a mess in their hands and it’s in their best interest for find solutions that can take place in the next couple of years. They need to work with more zoo all across the world to make things happen.

      It cannot mean one of the current females, but a girl yet unborn that would be of age in that time frame. But in the wild, it is perfectly healthy and normal for a female to leave her weaned child with the silverback and move onto greener pastures. Just seems so unlikely to me though. That Taiwan would hamper their existing effective troop for some other animal. They must mean a girl yet to come.

    Kyoto Zoo really needs to consider the more Gentaro grows the more conflict there could be in his troop, Daddy is king, Gentaro will more than likely be big enough to challenge dad (Momotaro) at times possibly leading to fatal results, so before that happens within a couple of years they need to move Gentaro out to breed, to have his own troop, he’s already 12 yrs now, almost in his prime. The Zoo has the money for Christ sakes, it’s all about the Gorillas!

    大猩猩是一夫多妻制的, 就算會從海外引進一隻母猩猩跟元太郎配對, 安妮仍可以同時配對. 只是這隻海外母猩猩應該不會是Tayari或是Iriki, 別忘了她們的孩子都還小. 人類別太自以為是, 總是按自己的想法去幫動物配對, 隨便移動他們, 結果造作動物不適應而憂鬱, 一再再的悲劇難道人類仍要堅持己見? 在孩子還小時隨意分開母子, 可能會造成母親跟孩子都不適應而憂鬱, 甚至可能D'jeeco也不能接受. 今年Tayari的兒子Jabali手指受傷, 為了要治療Jabali的手指將他跟媽媽分開獨自一籠, 結果Tayari崩潰尖叫, D'jeeco在戶外撞門, Jabali治療回來後有好一段時間非常敏感緊張, 不時跟隨著媽媽. 在我看來, D'jeecoj家族雖然偶有些小紛爭, 但那是日常生活, 這家族感情很親密, 吃飯睡覺活動都緊密在一起. 老婆跟著老公行動, 小孩睡覺喝奶時跟著媽媽, 玩耍時跟著爸爸. 所以至少在孩子未成年之前, 不能將這家族分開, 否則會造成不可預料的結果.

    I am very happy to hear any news about Gentaro, Annie or Kiyo or the two older sisters (Momoka & Komomo) in the Haoko family. That's a long way off for Gentaro to be with Iriki or Tayari, but at least it's some hope. This all should have been planned out before Genki even got pregnant. Matter of fact, for all gorilla mom's it should have been planned. Knowing where the gorilla baby is going when it's time to move out would have been responsible. But Japan was not at all responsible with that. However, what's done is done and now it just has to be fixed. Now the zoos are stuck with a bunch of gorillas that need to be moved and have nowhere to go. I am very grateful for the information (you) have given as I too love all these gorilla families but had to take a break from watching and information collecting, because it was getting too sad with the Momotaro family and it was making me feel very sad for them.
    I knew about that agreement with the zoo with the D'jeeco family a while ago, but didn't know how that would help with Momo's family. Since the babies are both toddler boys and I didn't think they would take one of "D'jeeco's "wives" for Gentaro. Like you said, the toddlers are going to need their moms for a long time but knowing there is some hope for Gentaro is good news.
    As for getting a gorilla from another country everything I have read or know about, says no country will send another of their gorillas to Japan because of what happened to both Genki-the weight loss, sickness, self mutilating, etc(1997-1999) and Momotaro's father-Biju, who was sent from England in 1997 only to suffocate to death(1999) at only 12 years old, when he was put in with those 3 other gorillas. You know Japan originally claimed it was a heart attack for a long time, but the autopsy- report was eventually changed to " cause of death as Suffocation/asphyxiation"..... This was over 20 years ago, and japan never followed through with building a gorilla conversation with England and the first gorilla they sent over who was Momo's father-Biju back in 1997. *********If you have more information that contradicts that, I would love to know that. As my heart aches for these poor gorillas in Japan.******** You could comment if you have better news than I have heard/read through the journals. 😊
    I can understand why the other countries will not send other gorillas, but for the gorillas Japan already has, I hope someone will send some gorilla mates over so the gorillas japan has already, can live their lives happy or at least not alone. Japan had so many gorilla deaths that they went from like 90 something gorillas in the 90's, to the small number of 20 something that they have now. **** That speaks volumes about the care they receive in Japan's zoos. Even some of Japan's own people say gorillas should not be kept in Japan. The keepers are wonderful and I know they love the gorillas, but if the head honchos don't give the individual facilities money to feed, house, and medically treat them and provide environments that can enrich their lives, then the current gorilla females should all be on birth control until every gorilla they have including the babies have a home they know the infant can sent it to when it's time to leave the "nest". As everything in this world, it all comes down to $$$$$$$$$. The baby gorillas make the zoo's money and they will not give that up, and the animals suffer for it.

    Yes, I agree, thank you for the information on Gentaro and Annie. I have concerns about them not starting the new enclosure at the Chiba Zoo until 2034. Gentaro will be 22 yrs old by then. I'm not sure if I missed it or is he staying a Kyoto Zoo with his family till then? How is that going to work? That worries me with Momo and Gentaro (2 full grown silverbacks). It's great they are getting new blood lines, but there's no reason why Annie and Gentaro can't mate up. They can eventually still get more international gorillas for Japan. The US has tons of bachelors.....it's sad. If they are going to pair up either Iriki or Tayari, it should be Tayari. Iriki is D'jeeco's favorite, and Tayari is a little less mature then Iriki. Tayari needs more attention and Gentaro would fit the role of giving her more attention. Yes, Jabali would need to be older for it to work. 2034 is a long way off. I'm just as concerned as you Something About Gorillas. I realize it's all about money....sad, sad, sad.☹We love them all so much and I think I can speak for all who watch gorilla videos everyday on UA-cam.💖 PS: I hope they dont castrate Kintaro.

    This saddens me, as I had always hoped that sweet Annie and gentle Gentaro would be mates in the future. If it is to be Iriki or Tayari, I hope that it is Iriki because Tayari would not be a good match for Gentaro personality wise. She is too strong willed, and he is more passive. D’jeeko knows how to handle her. I can tell how much you care for these amazing animals, I wish that everything was not always about money and trade deals. 😢🦍

    I think this is a good idea. Bringing in new genetics is so important. I would have loved to see Annie with Gentaro though. After dealing with Kyomasa she would run rings around Gentaro!😁. Although they really need to completely re-do the areas for Al their animals. I would hate to see Gentaro go to that concrete nightmare right now.

      I think some zoos in Japan have modernized and adopted the knowledge everyone now has about animal welfare. People beat up Momo's zoo, but they are taking care of their needs. I am still waiting for Genki's dental though - maybe be they are too afraid of the anesthetic. They have enrichment and enough enough food as do Shibani's family and the old single gorilla who's mate died and whose name escapes me, at least. And, I hope others. The issue is space at Kyoto. However Chiba Zoo is disgraceful and so is the one that has that poor chimp group, those poor, poor mistreated animals, the name escapes me now. Some zoos have to catch up on understanding they have a responsibility to the helpless animals, or make arrangements to close down. The government should make them do it! Chiba is not feeding Rola and Mona well and they are so enrichment deprived. No bedding for old bones to lay down on! New thinking must occur in some of the zoos. I think Chiba has a new keeper who is doing their best at making things better, but it must come from the top. So, in conclusion, Japan has some good zoos, there are bad zoos in North America and Europe and the rest of the world too. But Japan is a smart, competent, innovative, successful country and they need to do better to ensure the old thinking that animals don't need to be cared for well, in some zoos is changed.

    It would be a bad idea to take either Iriki or Tayari away from D’Jeeco, as they,along with their two children, are a happy, loving family! Also, to make Gentaro and a prospective female wait a few years to firm a family, seems extreme. Then, there is the topic of where Komomo and Momoka will be placed…unfortunately it cannot be with Gentaro.

    I have been watching the gorilla's in the Japan zoos for a while mainly through being disgusted and some decisions made by humans. They do need to go over seas either getting or sending gorilla's before inbreeding happens. There is no way they would split up the D Jeeco family, that would be cruel. Gentaro and Kiyomasa need to be moved on.

    I wish Gentaro and his family could all go to the home you described... and encounter other gorillas too. My heart breaks for this little family everytime I watch them, which is often. Keyoto City Zoo isn't a large zoo and I'd love to see all its animals go to santuaries. Even though there are mountains near Keyoto the city is so over populated that even if someone left them big money they couldn't give the animals anymore space.
    I'd sure hate to see Gentaro and his little brother split up. Momma is old, it'd break her heart to lose either son. Dad is so... he's dying inside because he's prevented from gorilla-ing. 😢 Take the ALL! Please?!

      It is true that Kyoto Zoo and Taipei Zoo have signed an MOU.

      It is speculation that a female gorilla will be welcomed to Japan from Taiwan.

    This was so interesting to learn all this information. Maybe little Kintaro could be Annie's husband once he is older its so sad that the Chinese zoo keep the gorilla's separate I wonder what the reason is for that, No gorilla should have to live alone that made me sad. It would be tragic to remove anyone from the D'Jeeco family they have the best wonderful caring family unit. Thankyou for giving us this news.

    Thanks for the info. I thought Kyoto City Zoo was rehabbing the old chimp habitat to house Gentaro in a "bachelor pad" until they can find a recommended site for him, like Lope at Twycross zoo. In the Japan system the only females unrelated to the Momotaro family are Annie and her mother Ai. A move like that would surely be detrimental to the Shabani troop, if not kill Shabani outright. Gentaro may have to leave Japan. The other question is who actually owns Gentaro---UenoZoo or Apenhaul. For example, Momotaro belongs to UenoZoo (his mother's home zoo) and is on loan to Kyoto City Zoo. I believe because of this Gentaro is also not "owned" by Kyoto City Zoo (but Genki is owned by Kyoto City Zoo).
    Overall, there is a shortage of females throughout the zoo systems. There may be some eligible females of age in Europe or Australia. I don't think it would be a good idea to separate the Taipei Zoo females. They are sisters, and the group is highly bonded. Plus their babies are under age 3 and couldn't protect themselves until ages 5 to 7.
    Chiba Zoo's gorillas are not bonded through no fault of their own. Apparently Monta wanted to mate but Rola ( AKA Lora) is very afraid of large male gorillas. She was hand raised and doesn't see herself as gorilla. Apparently no one recognized this when they were first paired. How do you handle these two individuals? Do you sacrifice them to spend resources to rebuild the physical space to bring in Gentaro and some unnamed females in hopes of new family lines? Also, where are Gentaro, Kiyomasa, and Lope in the long line of young and mature silverbacks already in long standing bachelor groups globally?
    I don't know the answer, just putting this out there because moving an individual is not any easy thing. Many points need to be considered for all involved.

    Omg my heart goes out to Gentaro, having to stay at that awful zoo much longer! I was hoping he would be leaving to go to a better facilitated zoo! They obviously do not have his best interests at heart! Gentaro is ready to start his own troop now not in years to come! That's ridiculous! As for moving Tayari or Iriki are they serious?! That family are so loving and happy where they are! That would be mean to break up that family! Again, not with their best interests at heart! I'm absolutely disgusted to hear this! I can't really say much on Annie as not much was said about her situation! At least Annie is not at an awful zoo in the meantime! In and ideal world, I would of liked Gentaro to go to Annie's zoo, but obviously they be in a separate enclosure, as Gentaro can't join their family!
