Annie, a friendly gorilla, gives a present to her keeper🎁✨ Shabani Group

Video shooting: December 13.14, 2023
This will be a video of Annie on the day of the tension between Shabani and Kiyomasa.
Annie was often alone or near Shabani.
She didn't seem to care much about Shabani or Kiyomasa, playing with the children who came to the zoo and playing pranks on Nene.
In the midst of all this, Annie spotted a keeper she did not usually see and presented him with a tree branch🎁.
Having grown up in an environment of population rearing, Annie may be more interested in people than other gorillas. ☺️

Annie is also very smart . When she was giving her keeper the “ gift “ she realized that was too big to go thru the space therefore she cut it to fit!

[@sonjavandam1306]

Annie like her daddy Rocks.😘

[@hotdogsauce]

lol, kiyomasa said to annie, "yo, you gotta chill wit da pranks on my moms..."🙄.......................................😂

[@lyncee6953]

Annie et Gentaro serait une chouette couple ❤

[@Simon-gc6uf]

Annie has a high level of consciousness, she's a special one. ❤

[@deniied5414]

Annie wants the glass between her and child to be gone so she can give him a hug and play. Id trust Annie with a 5+ yo.

[@johngammon963]

Wonderful gorilla - daddies girl.

[@stevemorris6790]

Annie is very sweet and loves her father!

[@KMichealElite.]

Does she love shabani when he is holding her down with both arms submitting her to mate her,? Do not be ignorant to what really goes on in these troops. And if you know captive gorillas then youl know exactly how these situations go.. absolutely terrible and very sad😢 especially for annie..😢

[@stevemorris6790]

I think you are wrong. , yes sometimes this happened a few times but also Shabani used to grooming her when she was younger because she didn’t have a mother to do for her, yes she shows that she loves him and being very smart she knows that her father loves her very much since he still protects and cherished her even today!

[@KMichealElite.]

@@stevemorris6790 i really dont think we should refer to them as father, daughter brother sistet mother son , in my opinion it is very wrong to do. I dont really understand why they do it, maybe its a Japanese thing. Not sure. Captive gorillas are not wild gorillas, they dont behave the same they dont act the same they dont even think the same. Humans did this to them. They are not a happy family, they would absolutely destroy eachother in a heartbeat if there was ever a food shortage.. god forbid.. in my honest opinion from what iv studied and witnessd , they are definitely NOT a happy family. Annie does not love her father". She doesnt even know thats what he would be to her.. none of them do or understand what they are to one anotger. Im sorry to say but they are extremely unintelligent. You would be very ignorant to say otherwise.. its so unfortunate what goes on behind camera they dont want you seeing, its absolutely terrible what goes on... but il say it again, humans put them in there now everyone acts like they are ok or happy.. you people are disgusting.

6:26 いつも動画ありがとうございます😄大きなガラス窓でアニーちゃんと遊ぶ姿は本当に面白かったです🥰 そして、このネネさんのアニーちゃんの頭をポンポンするシーン。 怒られると思ってたのに、あれ？なアニーちゃんのキョトン顔が可愛すぎます😍💕

[@pigtailsandteddybears]

😂 I was surprised that Annie didn't respond back to Nene doing that. And your little one is always a joy! ❤

[@2btpatch]

Thank you for this nice video of Annie. She and Shabani are my favourite gorillas in this family. I love her playful nature (when she isn't stressed!) and her affection for her father. She is constantly supportive of him. I hope she eventually has a family of her own, with a loving mate. ❤

[@VA4LVRS]

Let’s hope daddy approves 😂😂❤❤

[@pigtailsandteddybears]

Annie holds the number one spot in my heart out of most gorillas. I just adore her and I also absolutely love Shabani, too. He reminds me so much of my Dad, silverback style.❤❤❤

[@mmmr407]

Probably Gentaro from Kyoto zoo would be a good match for Annie.

[@pigtailsandteddybears]

[@Hqhq-01]

Annie and Gentaro would be a fantastic match.

[@abelreytor7722]

I have a crazy feeling that Annie and Gentaro will be a couple in the future , i think they will hit it off pretty well😊.. they make a cute couple. But we shall see.

[@DavidSmith-fs6pi]

Annie would make an awesome mate for Gentaro🥰

[@GiselSimon]

Aww Annie is such a sweet girl! I love her very much. 🥰🥰🥰

Enjoy Annie, Shabani, Nenne and Kyomasa. Shabani really has a good character.. He is a lot like Winston in San Diego zoo. Easy temper and truly cares about each member of their troop.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Achei tão fofa a Annie entregando presente ☺️ e como se fosse boas vindas?? Annie 💖💖🤗

[@veronicagrayson9298]

Thank you, Japanese Zoo for sharing Annie's caring and compassion she appreciates all you do amazing! 🥰❤❤❤❤❤

[@ZombieQueen819]

Kiyomasa was trying to discipline Annie because of Annie aggravating Nene UNTIL Shabani At 7:19 walks around the corner and Kiyo actually jumped 😂😂😂😂 !!! If I was that zookeeper I would’ve acted like I was eating the leaves 🍃 Annie’s personality is so much like Shabani’s.

[@Kiowa371]

Annie loves that baby 😍🥰💞. It’s nice seeing Annie adapt to a stressful time in the family 🎉. Her 🎁 to the keeper is too cute 🥰. Kiyo shutting down Annie tells me that he is learning a lot from Shabani ❤. I hate to say it, but Annie maybe the instigator of the tension in the family these past few days ( allegedly) 😂. This family is so human like at times, it leaves me in awe. I ❤ the Shabani family.

Omg I say that all the time ❤

[@stevemorris6790]

The majority of the time Annie is very cool, sometimes she can be stressed as everyone one of them but Nene is most of the times the instigator of the tension in the family with her so protected of her son defied Shabani authority.

[@Kiowa371]

@@stevemorris6790 Nene is a like a pit bull when it comes to Kiyo. AI seems to be following the say behavior as her mother.

[@stevemorris6790]

@@Kiowa371 , Shabani lately seems more attentive to stop her BS and Kiyo way to depending on her and Aí not letting them to get away of their antics!

I love that these big strong animals -- our close relatives -- are vegetarians.

I was quite surprised when I first learned that. Normally with animals who have sharp canine teeth love meat. It's really nice though. They don't look at us as food 😅❤

[@stevemorris6790]

Kiyo and nene are very disrespectful toward Shabani and him being the silverback is the leader and protector of the troop. Your comment just show that you don’t know nothing about gorillas society!

Annie la chipie elle cherche de l attention pour nene qui suit son fil à sacré Annie quoi que tu fasses papa shabani n est jamais loin 😅

[@KMichealElite.]

Poor annie, this is not a good time for her with kiyo becoming the new leader of the group.. she freely and chooses to mate with kiyo same with nene, its very frustrating because that definitely shouldn't happen but it happens literally in every captive gorilla troop. Kiyo is that age now. Shabani constantly submits annie holding her down mating her, which she does not choose 😢 it is very sad but until something is done this will continue to happen until kiyo goes ape shit on shabani and does some real damage. Kiyo injured his hand in the last fight, shabani had a chunk out of his side... the next one is not going to be good for shabani, especially with kiyo having all the support from aplha nene,, with alpha nene comes a.i and kiyos fav annie,, it is what it is.. but please, dont be ignorant to what happens in these captive gorilla troops, they do the weirdest things to eachother and all we can do is watch, right😢

[@stevemorris6790]

Kkkkkkkkkk. Shabani is still very young and energetic, healthy and strong… i guess you didn’t see Shabani just walking to defend Annie and Kiyo right way jumped out the way . Shabani’s father stayed as a silverback until he died in Europe, Haoyo an older brother is still a silverback and Kiyo still would take lots of years to become a full silverback. Winston at San Diego zoo is around 40’s and still a silverback at San Diego zoo . Most of the times Shabani was grooming Annie because she didn’t have a mother to do that for her. Shabani since Annie was born, loved and protected her and still does. And Kiyo becoming leader? You are out of your mind, as Kiyo doesn’t even defend himself from Shabani and now Shabani “ said “ enough is enough and are more attentive to stop them in the buck.
