20230902🌞 Morning Monta | ゆっくりとしている時間多めの今日｜Chilling out today

#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?)
秋の気候になってきた。今日はウォーキングもほぼ無し、足を投げ出したり、うつ伏せになったりとまったりした時間を過ごしたモンタ。水浴びなし、走りなしの本日。これは、モンタの秋のリラックスしている時間の過ごし方なのかもしれない。加えて、秋になりモンタお気に入りの麻袋を新しいものに変えてもらったようだ。モンタのシルバーバックの毛色がなんとも言えず綺麗で、思わず触ってみたいと思うほどであった。(4:50-)
//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年ローラが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.

Is it getting cooler? I haven't seen him in the water pond for awhile. He is handsome as usual.🌟 Ty..🦍

[@rie777]

It was an autumnal day, so he didn't cool off in the pond. The temperature was a little more comfortable and he was relaxed. Thank you for watching!
