20230801 🌥🌂Cooling Monta | Silverback Gorilla 🦍｜モンタ君の水浴び Take a bath 😊？

#gorilla #ゴリラ#千葉市動物公園 Please look at the short story below:(Why are Rola and Monta single breeders now?) Monta & Rola
今日は曇りのせいか、過ごしやすい。モンタも沢山歩いている。今までモンタの放飼場の水場の水が貯まる部分（今回モンタが水に使っている部分）に水漏れがありあまり水がうまく溜まらなかった。でも今は正常に動いているらしい。そして昨夜から朝にかけて雨が降った。水が溜まれば、モンタも色々な水の使い方ができる。今日は水浴びをしていた。水があれば身体を冷やしたり、水を飲んだり、青草を冷やしたり色々な活用ができ、モンタにとって水は特に夏場の必需品になるであろう。
後日の水浴び　 • 20230806🌞🌂 Monta's Poo...
//Short Story//
モンタはモモコ（現在、上野動物園）と共に1987年に来日。その当時、オスメスのペアであればその後、一緒に住みペアリングが可能と考えられていた。そして二人は1990年に千葉動物園に来園。しかし幼少の頃から一緒にいた二人は、お互いを姉・弟の関係として認識していた為か、ペアリングは上手くいかなかった。1997年、モモコはブリーディングローンのため、上野に向かう。
2008年ローラ千葉市動物公園に来園。2009年、モンタとローラのペアリングを行ったが、ローラはゴリラが苦手（母親が育児放棄をし人間による人口飼育で育つ、モンタ以外にもオスのゴリラと同居したが上手くいかず）なため、上手くいかなかった。現在はローラ、モンタ共に単独飼育。千葉動物公園の更なる環境エンリッチメント及びモンタへのパートナー探しをお願いしたい。
Monta came to Japan in 1987 with Momoko (Ueno Zoo now). At that time, it was thought that male-female pairs of gorillas could live together easily and then pair up. In 1990, they visited Chiba Zoo. However, the pairing did not go well because the two had been together since childhood and may recognize each other as an older sister and younger brother. In 1997, Momoko went to Ueno for a breeding loan.
Rola came to Chiba Zoological Park in 2008.
In 2009, Monta and Rola were paired (short time trial). However, it didn't go well because she wasn't good at gorillas (her mother didn't do childcare, so she grew up in population breeding by humans. Shel also had the experience of living with other male gorillas, but it did not work well). Currently, both Rola and Monta are single breeders. I want to ask for further environmental enrichment of Chiba Zoological Park and to find a partner for Monta.
