Hi, Monta🐒❤️

[@rie777]

Thank you for watching!

Rieさん、猛暑のなかモンタとローラの様子を細かく報告してくださりありがとうございます。モンタとローラがおやつをもらえてよかった〜。朝にもらえるのは今までなかったことですね。モンタも猛ダッシュしていたところを想像して笑ってしまいました。パンパスグラスは、ローラの放飼場には植えられなかったんですね・・・・🤔モンタは気づいたかな？いろんな種類の植物をどんどん植えて休める場所、隠れる場所、食べれる葉っぱ、増やしてあげて欲しいですね。目で見えることも大切だけど、実際に触れることがもっと大事ですよね。Rieさん、どうか熱中症にはお気をつけください🙏

ローラの「早くー早くちょうだいよー」的な動き方が愛おしかったです。モンタの猛ダッシュ、みたかったです。最近は二人共色んな動きをそれぞれがするので、千葉もなかなか見どころがあります！熱中症は、はい、気をつけます。ありがとうございます😊パンパスグラスは（ローラの庭はみみずを育成しなければならない為、草刈りはせず。）だからパンパスグラスを植える場所がないのかなぁーと思われます😂。

I wish they would do enrichment for he and Laura. They could scatter his food all over the outdoor area, have some straw and burlap bags, a hanging ball etc. it is very sad that Laura was too afraid to be with him. Then they could keep each other company. Thank you for your video.

Laura lived with gorillas named SHOU (who lives in Hamamatsu now), KENTA (who already died). Monta had a trial short time-period living with Momoko (they came to Japan together from Spain when they were 3-4 years old) but it didn't work well. They may have thought of each other as brother and sister. Thank you for watching!

Isn't the female called Rola? She's in the studbook as Rola.

[@rie777]

I see.... in Japanese, we write "ローラ." (I am Japanese, and she is also born in Japan...In pronunciation, it sounds very near to Laura in Japanese.) But anyway, thank you for pointing this out. So, I will correct the spelling from Laura to Rola (from today's video )

This animal should no be alone,poor thing,this is what creates mental issues.

[@lizzyyork]

It's terrible. Especially when Japan has 2 unrelated females that are fully mature stuck in an enclosure with their father who is seen mating with them. You'd think Chiba and Ueno would see that Monta has very few years left and he deserves a chance to have a family. The only way to force change is to stop spending money at both zoo's.
