Annie holding one hand to cover herself from the rain likes it’s gonna protect her is so cute
Indeed
She protected her eye so she could see where she was going
Annie is such a DIVA 😅
She looks so human
besides was covering her eyes - it was helping. They don't have eye lashes, etc, to keep water out. Slow clap.
I love how they react to being in the rain the same way we do with mild discomfort 😂
Yeah you look like them I agree
@@wasupman777What the fuck? What the hell does that even mean? Where’s this shit coming from?
We dont like cold
You mean "how @annak9646 react in being in the rain" i live in a country within the equator and it gets hot as hell here. I prefer the rain than to melt
@@user-ee6lk1pb6w … What? Lots of people react to the rain with mild discomfort. It’s, like, a super common thing. This isn’t exclusive to her at all, you just live in a hot place. And even then, I’m sure people don’t enjoy being wet and soggy while walking home where you’re from.
It’s really sweet that not only was ai waiting for Annie with concern, Shabani was also lingering around to wait for Annie. They are a very loving troop.
Their closeness has developed over time. When Annie first joined the troop, there were problems . I’m glad to see that has changed
@@MckennacorbinThanks to Shabani.
Why is there no outdoor shelter for them to use during rain or burning sun? These are horrible accommodations. They should be living in a large preserve where they have access to nature. This is disgusting and inhumane.
Beautiful. I have DEEP respect, love and passion for gorillas. Their awesome!!
Me too ❤🤠🇬🇧🤟👍🙏
Remarkable and gentle giants. ❤️

I’m most impressed with the gorilla who keeps sitting in the doorway and pushing the door back up when it starts to close.
Y ami me da miedo
My husband wouldn’t even be that useful 🤦🏻
@@TheDriftdogmost likely because he is exasperated by being around rude, disrespectful, ungrateful slobs. You get what you deserve
@@TheDriftdogyour husband is not a simp. Based
@@johnlove2954 simp? Based?
I swear I always feel like they are humans with suits on. Lol. Majestic and Beautiful! ❤
I agree ❤❤
Nah, we're just gorillas with suits off lol
They are the closest species to humans and highly intelligent and love their children and families.
They share 98,5 % of their genes with us. They are close relatives.
BFD we share the same with pigs.
No one likes the heavy rain. Annie runs back in holding her face. I love how this family are always so playful together .Thank you for sharing a rainy day with the Shabani family xx
Yeah, that was funny !
@@p.e.p2368I thought they could go in and out
Why didn't they leave it so they could get back in?
I do
Her running with her hand over her forehead is SUCH a mood
I don’t get this saying. How can an action be a mood?
@@westaussie965gen z slang. Mood = causing one to have a good feeling
@@westaussie965it’s like saying , that’s me. That’s something I would do. “ I feel that”
@@westaussie965mood= relatable feeling
I hear ya, it made me laugh when she did that....
i love how they all seem annoyed because the door is broken😂
trying to fix it
The males coming out acting like that it was frustrating was too relatable.
"The hell is with this today? Damn thing."
Honestly looked too much like my dad when he notices something not working right.
People underestimate the intelligence of animals,gorillas are amazing
We are animals not much different from the gorilla
They don’t they just don’t care sad world
These guys walk like me when I have a bad back and get up in the morning
UnderstanNd Ouch!!!!❤️🦍❤️
😂😂
thats how i walk when i gotta take a dump

@@Dre-yd2xh😂😂😂😂😂
I love how they casually push up what is undoubtedly an extremely heavy door.
Yes, it’s probably around 20kg of steel and they’re nudging it up like we would a droopy sash window.
@georgemorely1029....20 kg is 45 pounds, and most certainly not that heavy for any average adult human...
And considering the speed at which it is sliding down, most likely supported by a counterweight...
I love how they can choose between inside or outside!
Yeah, just like an open prison really. Except the gorillas didn't commit any crimes.
@@H20. exactly .Zoos are awful places ,
Oh yes! That is the best when they can go in and out. I had a cat door for one of my cats
@@HelenaMikasoh my, how the world still dearly loves a cage...
We are devolved as humans, and monitored by the 👹
4:54 Walks around like an old school dad searching for the newspaper after drinking his morning coffee cause he is gonna be in the bathroom a while.
Lmao.😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
on point
02:50 is AMAZING when Annie does this "Oh who, me? I'm just sitting here doing nothing" sit. Such a human thing to do.
I think because she was staring at the alpha, then realized she made a huge mistake when he noticed. Hense why the other gorilla realized this and ran off as well 😅
In gorilla behavior, direct eye contact is considered a sign of aggression or a challenge.
@@Jordan-mu3ftSeems extra appropriate that this is a zoo in Japan.
I could watch them for hours. Their eyes….so interesting to watch their eyes and their expressions. Simply beautiful ♥
Watch them in the wild, not in a zoo! It breaks my heart to see these beautiful, intelligent, emotional animals living in captivity! Zoos must end! Leave the animals in the wild where they belong. No zoo can provide a truly natural habit with enough space to roam free. Keeping an intelligent animal locked in an exhibit is like keeping them in a prison. They are innocent and they deserve to be free!
@@thetruepatriot7733 listen, I agree with you WHOLEHEARTEDLY…however, the tragic reality is that “humans” (monsters) are poaching them for their hands and heads for disgusting rituals. Their habits are being consumed..again..by “humans”….even in national preserves such as those in Africa - with armed guards - the elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, are mercilessly poached. I can only see what is visible in the video, and captivity is a horrific “solution”…but is appears that this gorilla enclosure does provide a “healthy” clean and safe environment. No substitute for the wild…but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to preserve and protect these gorillas - and all wildlife - from the vile selfish beings that are labeled “human”.
@@thetruepatriot7733 I completely empathize with you but unfortunately, this wonderful species are endangered. The only true way to make sure gorillas don't become extinct is because of human interference. (Well, the good kind who want to make sure they survive.) In the wild, their homes/habitat are being destroyed, they are hunted down and are on the verge of extinction. I wish this wasn't the only way to make sure their species doesn't die out. In my opinion, though, they seem to not mind at times and seem content. (At least the Shabani family seems to.)❤
@@ShouldHaveBeenAStripper You are absolutely correct. Without zoos gorillas would eventually go extinct. Zoos play a critical role in what's called a "Species survival plan" which ensures that they don't go extinct. Zoos work hard to maintain enough genetic diversity within captive populations so that if and when it becomes necessary to have to re-establish wild populations post-extinction, that it will be possible to do so. Also, gorillas in zoos are not caught from the wild. Most of them are born in zoos, the main exception being sometimes a wild born baby gorilla whose mother died or was killed by a poacher. A baby gorilla in the wild without it's mother will die - period. It's not as if zoos are going around stealing wild gorillas though - zoos are the good guys.
@@mchevre Very well said 😊
Fascinating to watch, at length, a group of gorillas and see how they interact. Also, seeing them walk on two legs like us you can see how close to us they are. I was watching to see how they communicated with each other, expecting almost a sign language between them but they are very quiet compared to chimps. The way the daughter who didn’t like the rain held her hand up over her face as she ran inside. The way they pushed the door back up or even held it open for others to pass through. Truly amazing to see and I thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻👏🏻❤️🇬🇧
Some number of years ago I went to a zoo for the last and final time in my life with my mother and her close friend (I will never go to one again, as they are way too depressing)...
They are both extremely religious Christians. I was enjoying watching the chimpanzees so very much and I made a casual comment to my mother’s friend of how is it that people cannot see just how closely related we are to them? We just look so similar, in so many different ways. Well, both of them had a conniption fit such a thought. It’s unbelievable that such cognitive dissonance goes on to this day.
Okay, she really tickled me running like she just got her hair done, awww...It's hilarious but precious at the same time, 🥰😂🥰😂
Hahaha that's the perfect way to describe that run 😂

3:12 I love how he looks so annoyed that it started raining 💀💀
He like “I know you fucking lying”
He was like “seriously, we just got outside” 😂
The way he spreads his hand out 👐🏼 like he’s saying “Seriously, the zookeepers couldn’t let us out earlier” 😂
Omg that little run Annie did😂😂😂 same, girl, same
I find them so fascinating & quite beautiful!
I never felt more relatable...Annie gets upset and then eats some sort of vegetable. Stress eating.....not just for humans.
I loved their attitude with the wonky door! This is quite annoying, however, no problem, let’s sort it. Shabani has a really excellent bipedal walk. My favourite days as a zoo member (Metro Toronto Zoo), were heavy rain. Fewer guests watching the animals, (who are often quite different with crowds, some animals really like watching the people, too!) do their thing. What a wonderful troop these are.

I always melt seeing Ai and Annie together. I just can't get over how gorgeous Ai is. And I love that little tic that she has with her nose and lips. Thank you for sharing this with us.❤❤❤
Ai (愛) means love in both Chinese and Japanese.
@@AttilatheNun-xv6kc Aw, thank you for telling me that! It suits her perfectly ❤
@@AttilatheNun-xv6kc Ai (aai) means mother in my language 🥹
It never ceases to amaze me the grace and power with which they exist. So majestic.
Gorillas are so Majestic to me, especially Silverbacks. There’s a documentary I watch & it’s about a Silverback named Titus. I watch it over & over. I love Gorillas
So do I! I wish they all had a chance to live normally! I loved Titua
The first part of the video Ai was wanting for Annie❤❤. This was a sweet video of Mother and Daughter playing 🎉🎉🎉
Ai has become a very good mother!
😂😂😂❤❤❤que graciosos esque les gusta poco la lluvia 😅
Kind of a big sister vibe I would say but very sweet.
It's so interesting how Shabani holds out his hands to check how hard the rain is falling, like we do as humans. Edit: falling not failing lol
What a fantastic recommendation. These are truely amazing animals and share so many personality traits with us. It's fascinating to see how they react to the rainy weather.
Какие умные создания ! Человекообразные, не даром дано им это определение! Чудо как они общаются!❤❤❤
Like a little child. You can tell his mother gets aggravated at him but loves him so much
I like the one sitting in the window looking back at Annie, like she’s saying, Annie come on what are you doing, let’s go outside.
Annie are you ok? You ok annie? Lol
Thanks again for the video. They are interesting to watch when raining 🌧
Shabani's bipedal walk reminds me of myself when I'm showering & i forgot my towel so i need to go get one.
Poor Annie...She is really afraid of the rain..It was so sweet to see Shabani and AI waiting for their little girl.
La famille shabani s est tout un spectacle quand il pleut 😂❤❤❤ j adore😍
They are absolutely beautiful.
So incredibly 'human' the intelligence in their eyes. Probably more intelligent than some humans!
Than you..clearly 🙄🙄
@@DionneGudgin-bf4ny what was the purpose of that comment
@@bexxx97I would assume that the negative comment from Dionne is linked to jealousy of some sort. He/she is probably a trump cult member
They are so beautiful.
Annie will get used to the heavy rain eventually, she may even come to love the sound of it. I'm glad her mum is there supporting her daughter 😇
Annie+rain= always hilarious😊
😂😂 Love the run at 4:01.
I love when they run around on two legs.
Did it remind you about your ancestors? 🤣🤣
@@indianmilitary no, actually they remind me of your Mama.
Another great video, thank you Japanese Zoo. Ai and Shabani waited for their daughter Annie to join them outside, so caring. Wish the girls would not put the ropes around their necks when playing, we do not want any accidents. 🙋♀️🦍🇬🇧
Agree! Gorilla Boy, Tatu from Prague always liked the ropes and would often put the rope around his neck. When other Gorilla adults saw that, they would stop him. Sadly, he must have woken early one morning as others slept, he went to play alone and must have put the rope around his neck and hung himself. By the times the Keepers came in, he was already dead. The Adult Gorillas, ( Mainly his close Aunt, Kamba ) were very upset & desperately tried to get him down. Gorilla Aunt, Kamba was very upset and would not allow the staff near him, they had to spray her with a hose to get to Tatu. He was my favorite Gorilla-boy. I still miss his gentle, funny and sweet personality. I wonder now where he would be, no doubt he would have been the best Dad as he was such a protective, patient, affectionate and sweet big brother to baby Kiburi. It can happen. Hopefully that is not a habit. I don't think I could stand another to come to that fate. --->Sweet Taru ---< ua-cam.com/video/LGx6tCqqFFM/v-deo.html

@@glynisakabonniekenzie7664 , He was the sweetest little Gorilla-Boy. I just imagine him now in Paradise with other Gorillas who left us too early. He giggles as he plays all day. The older Gorillas care for him and Angels sing them to sleep at night. Hearts this pure must have a special place God saved just for them. My best to you Sweetheart. Take care. 😘
@@maryeddy4871
I watched all the Prague videos from that era as well and precious Tatu 🤠🦍was an absolute joy to watch💔🤷♀️. His death left me with a deep sorrow for a long time after. 🌎💙🇺🇸Thank you from Texas, USA, for reminding me of his profound legacy.
@@BeegirlsHoneyHouse , Thank you for this kind & beautiful comment. Some friend posted his picture for the anniversary of his death. Many commented and love and miss this sweet boy very much. I'm "still" trying to find a video of Tatu. It was after Kiburi was born, and Tatu went to sleep with Kijivu but we know with the new baby, he gets Mom and other siblings must sleep elsewhere. Tatu was standing there, looking at Mommy with such a sadness and confusion in his little face. He tried to find a cuddle spot, but Mom had to protect the baby. As he stood back up looking down at mommy, Kamba came and grabbed Tatu. Kamba took Tatu and cuddled him, making his little heart happy. There was sound, it was black and white. Maybe the old 24 hour camera they had set up. It was a really touching video but, seems it is suddenly gone along with other videos I wanted to watch again. Some videos are now private or deleted. I have no idea where they are now. Figures, one of my favorite videos of my Sweet Boy. Maybe one day i will find it. Looked under soooo many pages, asked people, no one can find it.I think it was titled something like "Tatu's 1st night without Mommy" But, not sure. I found the one with Kiburi when Nuru was born, but Tatu one is gone. We know Moja was not happy to give up Kamba to Tatu. She was so funny. When Moja was jealous or mad she didn't hide it at all. She let whatever Gorilla piss her off know she was angry. She was a trip. Take care and thanks again sweetie!!
The cutest thing is watching one of the strongest primates on earth, feeling as grossed out as we do, with getting caught in the rain.
Rain, aka water, makes you feel gross??
@@codymoe4986
Cody… you try standing out in the rain without your clothes….
Then you can get back to us on how that worked out for you….
@@codymoe4986 You’re the only one here who didn’t get that part.
I really wish they had a bigger area that’s indoors which is actually fun and give them the choice. Outside or a childrens sport centre sized area with climbing stuff all over it that’s actually fun to be in.
Give them a tablet
True
My dear Lord God, thank you for all your wonderful and amazing creation ❤️🤗♥️
Not too many times will you see a primate at 5'11 and 418 pounds/190 kg walk upright and easily like Shabani. Thanks for taking the time to share these videos👍
Better Mom than many human ones.
Ai is definitely an attentive mother even with Annie being hand reared as a baby. I think that's the distinction with Annie she needs alot of attention. It's beautiful that Ai is still protecting her being the zoo keepers had Annie as a baby. Most Gorrila mothers detached after 8 years old but then again Ai has not became pregnant. Those are the times primates detach when another sibling enters the picture. In the wild Annie would of moved out the troop to find her a mate.
It's bit surprising they haven't moved Annie to have her own family (though I'm not sure how old she is so maybe she's too young still) but so far it seems to be working fine where she is.
@@teijaflink2226 she's was old enough at 8 to have children but because Kiyomasa and Shabani are blood related it will be bad. They try to mate but it's never successful, they need to remove her just like you said. In the wild female primates find troops or communities to have family's to avoid inbreeding.
Ive always wondered if Ai knows Annie is her daughter. Or Ai being even keeled, just grew close to her naturally?
So clever, knowing something was different with the door and immediately holding it up and checking it!
Shabani was concerned about Annie too! He was lingering around at the start when Ai was waiting for Annie! I love this troop and how they communicate with each other 😊❤🦍
Shabani loves the rain though!
I love how when the daughter was trying to spit something out of her mouth

Such beautiful creatures. I love these videos. My fiancé hates the videos because it creeps her out how human like they behave. This kind of thing to me is proof alone that evolution is absolutely the true theory of human existence
It's actually really sad that we keep them in cages because of how close we are in relation to each other.
Why does it creep her out? The normal human reaction is to be amazed or loving towards an animal that displays such human characteristics
Shabani e Ai erano preoccupati per Annie, misa' che sentiva i tuoni e non voleva uscire, che bellina mentre correva si copriva il viso con la mano. Shabani come sempre ne approfitta per farsi una doccia 😊. Guardo Annie e la voglia di giocare con la mamma. Grazie per l'emozione!❤️🍀❤️

98% of our DNA structures also match Pigs
Charles Darwin was a sister fcker and a Christian while going to the courts to present his failed theory of “we come from apes” or a “relative”
Then they’ll try to be more disingenuous by saying that the Greek were the ones who “found” the idea that we come from a common ancestor-which is more true than the accepted idea that we’ve come from ape relatives.
A bird also has 2 eyes and two legs like we do
- does that make it us?
And then you wonder why swine is forbidden in religion
A raven can speak like us- does it make us them?
We are similar because we come from the same source of creation.

This takes me back to the time i was a kid and read Jack and Annie's travel to meet gorillas. It was definitely magical and seeing this brought all those memories of awe back

Thank you for sharing these wonderful magnificent beautiful gorillas they can definitely show what power is then turn and be so gentle thanks again
I love how the big unit is looking around in disgust as if the day’s forecast was wrong and his plans to mow have been ruined.
When I lived near the Honolulu zoo and could go to the San Diego zoo my favorite animals to always see were the great apes. I love watching the orangutans and gorillas with the glass enclosures where you can get close. They are all so fascinating with their own personalities. I would always love to go see Rusty the orangutan at the Honolulu zoo.
Each face and body is unique, like humans.
Ai is beautiful to me.❤
The whole family is stunningly beautiful. It has been wonderful to watch Annie and Kiyomasa go from babies to agile, funny juveniles. Shabani has been a great father and leader.
She really is.
Magnificent Animals. They are so strong and beautiful. Nice
I love their reaction to the rain getting heavy LMAO.. 3:10
_"wtf? bro"_
It was astonishing to see how often they walk on two feet like people. They are soft tempered giants.
Soft tempered? See troupes fighting...
@@rebeccaconlon9743 Their fights (at least in zoos) rarely escalate to physical contact(actual punches, bites etc). They mostly shove and chase each other off.
That soft tempered giant would beat you to within an inch of your life.
@845pitdog Just as would any wild animal. Just as would your neighbour, if you invaded his house. Your point?
They’re so intelligent. Have they ever let them try things like painting with a brush, finger painting, watching simple videos of magic tricks? Things to stimulate their minds? Even listening to classical music might be good.
As always appreciate a good laugh thanks we laugh and learn and benefit from the gorillas thanks they are very smart and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from them they make good parents and grandparents and stepparents and uncles and aunties stay safe and warm out stay strong and healthy as well much love and respect and appreciation I will take them to costco or target and buy them a rain jacket or poncho give them a cup of coffee and chicken noodle soup love you guys thanks !!!
