A Hungry Silverback Gorilla Gets Mad | Kyoto Zoo

[@eileenlienhard7218]

Good to see Genki and Kintaro get to eat in a relaxed room. They always look fearful with Momotaro when it comes to feeding.

[@lindalumae]

They always eat in their own room unless they eat outside. I think they are usually in that room that Momotaro went in though. Usually Momotaro eats in that room with the scale and the computer game. That’s why he was waiting for that door to open. I think something happened that messed things up but Momo was more patient than I thought he would be.

[@vasilisaivanova8756]

Вас, господа, не поймешь - то вы пишите, какая это счастливая семья, как мама с папой любят друг - друга и своих детей, то говорите, что Генки и Кинтаро напуганны... А, ведь ясно видно, что Генки панически боится Момотаро, как в этом ролике ОНА мечется по комнате, закрывая собой Кинтаро. Еще подрос другой тиран - Гентаро. Как ОН бегает вокруг нее , и, не шутя, бьет ее. Как печально видеть, как Генки закрывает руками свою голову от этого подросшего негодяя. Какое умиление можно испытывать, глядя на эту семью, господа?! Вы, разве не видите, что семья Момотаро - это копия с семьи человека, где мать ростит сыновей, настраивая их против отца, а когда они вырастут, то не будут уважать ее, и она останется в одиночестве, жалкая и покинутая.

@@vasilisaivanova8756 боже, прежде чем писать такой бред почитайте немного про горил и как у них устроина соц иерархия. не надо свои комплексы и страхи проецировать на горил. Нет ничего общего с людьми. Вы с головой дружите? В группе горил самец всегда главный, именно он первый начинает есть и то, что остается доедают самки и дети. А в этом зоопарке их специально разделяют, чтобы быть уверенными, что Генки и Кинатро доедают + у них своя диета в отличии от Момотаро. Когда сыновья вырастут, достигнут пубертата их отселя в другое место для создания своей семьи. Женщина, полечите свою голову.

В природе они тщательно следят, чтобы не было инцеста, который приводит к поломке генома. Поэтому подросшие сыновья покидают отряд отца, но здесь уже не раз заявляли, что в ближайшее время нет возможности отделить Гентаро, и найти ему пару. И, к чему это приведет?! Уже есть ролики о забавах Гентаро и Генки, что - то еще будет... А, вы, не смейте мне писать, я, лично к вам, не обращалась.

Each word is true! you explained it so well! He needs to eat first! He must avoid to get weak. He has to shield women and children from dangers, has to fight against poachers, etc. He cannot share like a good pal.

Poor Momo, he’s being pretty patient .. considering. Also, people don’t realize that Zoos have really suffered financially during the pandemic. They are probablly short staffed. They do clean the rooms but they can’t while the family is in the rooms. They do a great job caring for the Momtaros

[@TheDante5000]

Correct. Momotaro hates to share food mainly because he was raised in an envirioment where he hadn`t to share food with other gorillas because he lived alone with his mom for many years. There are another causes as a dominance signal to monopolize food ... its better keep them apart to avoid futher conflicts.

[@SeashoreMary]

Very disturbing to watch the frustration by these gentle giants. All, especially Momotaro, require massive amounts of food to accommodate their need for nutrition. Papa Momotaro is the largest, his need is simply because his body structure requires more, next is Mama Genki, she, too, eats to satisfy her own need for nutrition, and on down the line. I would sometimes wonder how their leafy greens was limited to grass. They go nuts when more variety vegetables are introduced. I'm not going to agree and say they are selfish, they're only hungry. 😪😪

The zoo may be implementing behavior modification to Momo to teach patience. These are highly intelligent creatures and he can and will learn to be less possessive of his food.

Si vous n’aviez pas déjà vu cette autre vidéo qui explique ces séquences alimentaires différenciées, il n’y a de tension parfaitement maîtrisée par les gardiens et le reste de la famille de Momotaro qui savent que le chemin entre son estomac et la nourriture est interdit à tous. Selon l’horaire et l’organisation, si Momotaro a eu sa dose, la famille peut partager en commun l’espace sinon les gardiens doivent impérativement le séparer du reste de la troupe. C’est son « seul défaut » et il est davantage exacerbé chez Momotaro qu’un autre silverback qui doit passer hiérarchiquement avant tous les gorilles ; il ne badine vraiment pas avec la nourriture 😃😅 et Genki qui parait toujours stressée également devant la nourriture, comme ses adorables petits le savent 😊🙇🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🇫🇷

@@dominiquejacqueline5115 I think his anger is more than some other male gorillas because there is somewhat of a limited area that they can look for food and maybe for food itself. As well as his upbringing and not having to share a hierarchy of of gorillas that normally would be in the wild.

I certainly agree with you. There was this time earlier about a year ago where the pandemic kept visitors from coming. I think they were then having difficulty financially feeding the animals. So I certainly agree that we feel with them which is of course good because it reminds us that we are not the only animal in this world and that we have some obligations if we can find them. I guess that also applies to humans who are in camps and running for their lives. However I agree I would like to be able to give some money if that's something that we could do. I had thought about just making arrangements with the grocer and seeing if we can have a care package sent over on a regular basis. However I'm in the states so I don't know how we could do that.

Esse Momo é de uma tranquilidade linda, mas atento a tudo. Que tamanho ele tem, mto lindo. Nossa musculatura é mto parecida com a deles. Fico horas vendo os vídeos, comparando a parte física e emocional deles. Coisa linda, exemplo de uma família de amor.

I unfortunately don't work now and also have time and spend many hours watching videos and comparing the different gorillas and the different other great apes.

А, разве у мужчин, если Вы, говорите о Момо, бывает такой зад, и такие ляжки?!

Why is Kintaro barely eating? While Genki eats all the best foods so quickly. Kintaro is so tiny for his age...3 years old and is so small. Doesn't his mother see that? I felt Momotaros impatience...poor fella.

His mom won't be protective of giving him food if he's hungry more than her. Food is pretty much a lot of terrain. However she does still nurse and will be stopping that shortly if she becomes pregnant. I think he wanted to find the nuts because he went over to the machine that he plays and gets nuts and special little things. I think he and ginky both look in the special spots where food is put when there's time like up on the shelves you'll see carrots and broccoli and quite a few little special things at times. So I don't think he was upset at hungry yet cuz he really hadn't eaten the major portion of food. They put the dessert in the main course all in the same room and we know what kids do.

Genki IS NOT PREGNANT PROBABLY WONT GET PREGNANT AGAIN. would you women give up the dream of another baby and go look at jhuman babies if you think they're so cute

[@thesummerof1968]

@@elizabethstops2362 No one has commented on Genki being pregnant.

Was Gentaro this clingy to Genki when he was 3 years old? Serious question. Like the way kint clings to mama and tries to get carried pretty much by her on her arm 😂

[@luvcats120]

Good question!! 👍👍

[@PinkCottonCandy88]

I think Kintaro's relationship with Genki is much different since she has been able to nurse him and bond in that way. Genki wasn't able to nurse Gentaro, so I think their wasn't that closeness between them unfortunately. That is just my opinion though...

[@yvonnejones9940]

If you look at older videos, Gentaro doesn't seem as clingy. I guess because he had the added support of his foster human parents. But he, Genki, and Momo appeared very bonded and close in that there was/is a great of play and cuddling.. As a baby Gentaro was loved on, cuddled, played with, and adored by his gorilla and human family. Spoiled rotten then and now !😄😄😄😄 He was an only child for 7 years! I think Genki encouraged Kintaro 's clinginess because he too almost died as a newborn. He was taken from her too but only for a few weeks. She picked him up and never put him down. Again Spoiled Rotten! Gorillas have long childhoods, so Kintaro as the baby would take up more time from the rest of the family. But I think Genki's and Momo's affection and care for their sons is equal and intense.

[@thesummerof1968]

No way!!! A 3 year old gorilla is more independent. I hope to god Genki doesn't have another baby. It will hurt Kintaro emotionally due to his immaturity.

Why so slow getting Momo's dinner ready?!
