Ai is such a tease. She leads Shabani on then suddenly plays it cool when Shabani comes to her. Finally, he’s had enough. 😂🦍💜

[@refi6438]

she didnt want nothing to do with him the other day and threw her food at him cause he was hovering lmao

[@irenekopec9892]

she constantly teases him

[@bigboytoyz541]

Yes

[@eddiemaiden2664]

He not only ignored her but moved even further away lol Shabani is done with the bullshit

[@DEEvarts]

Ai is such a beauty!! Those cheekbones! 🥰🥰🥰 Thanks for showing her spending time with Shabani and her rope dance. ❤❤Love it❤❤

[@GrandRegentSScratch]

Sweet Ai putting on a show for shabani☺️, unfortunately I think the reason Ai doesn’t want to mate just yet with Shabani is because she was traumatized with her last experience giving birth, it was pretty messy and I think she is scared for it to happen again.😢, maybe Ai might’ve already mated with Shabani in their bedrooms down in the basement? Either way I love this family of gorillas.😊

[@sonjavandam1306]

Ai had a baby before she had Annie & at the age of 9 Ai had a baby that died & I think it traumatized her.😢

[@sonjavandam1306]

Ai's first baby died at birth, i think that traumatized because she was so young. Nene had alot to do with her second child Annie being bullied & unwanted. Annie & granny will never be friends.😉

Shabani needs a partner that shows him love. The two females in this troop want nothing to do with him!

[@GrandRegentSScratch]

Lies, Lies, Lies. I will never understand Why you people hate Ai And Nene so much. They DO love him and they DO respect him, just because you can’t understand that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

I would also like to be a silverback. Then a lot of people wouldn't get on my nerves anymore. and i could rule what vegetables i got to eat lol

[@lyndamac1058]

It's unusual for a Silverback not to be sexually active.. Ai was trying to get some attention and yes she may have moved when he approached but he also needs to and pursue her but no he walks away.

[@sonjavandam1306]

They both tease & walk away 😅

[@Pozorrogo]

Ai is like me when Im bored, just want attention from my boyfriend for no reason lol

Poor gorillas,

[@sharonkirkpatrickcowzer9410]

The narrative called the gorillas “people”.

[@ZombieQueen819]

There’s a channel that I watch it’s all about rescuing chimpanzees, orangutans, and all other primates but no gorillas and that’s what they call their primates is people people do call gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees people…

[@patriciaplan420]

Ai a une jolie petite tête. Shabani est frustré !

[@andreww1225]

When is Annie going to get matched?

[@DogFiles]

To the people writing the text on the screen. He is male, her is female.

[@sonjavandam1306]

It gets lost in translation, you will find it in all Asian languages.

[@RubyBandUSA]

they look very bored, despondent, and captive. They are not happy. They should not be cooped up like this.

[@clarkkent0909]

Shabani deserves better. Ai is a lovely and sweet gorilla. But there is something off with her socially She rejected her child, is generally lethargic, and teases but does not mate with Shabani. Keep AI, Nene, and Annie in this spot and bring in a new Silverback. Move Kiyo to a bachelor pad and move Shabani to lead a troupe where he can get lots of female attention. It will never happen because Shabani is such a huge attraction for the zoo. I still love them all!

[@GrandRegentSScratch]

She didn’t reject Annie, stop spreading those deceitful lies, Ai did not recognize Annie as her child because the zoo took her away at birth for medical reasons, I don’t think she was even conscious during the childbirth. Annie was always taken away for several months which didn’t help, she dose in fact recognize now that she is her offspring and daughter.😊

[@Pozorrogo]

Why would you break up bonded animals at all? If none of them are fighting. Its not all about breeding and who is best paired with who. Sometimes its just about family. Youre talking about millions of dollars here having to separate gorillas into like 3 or 4 different areas. They would all need the same amount of space to wander its not as easy as just buying another cage from petsmart you know!

@@jonathanbarber213 because they’re deep uninformed and spout out garbage as fact, I’m sick of it.

@@GrandRegentSScratch why does other people’s opinions about gorillas make you so “sick of it “ ? Why are you so triggered about opinions, least of all, people you don’t even know ?

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

Whoever is doing the captioning when you are talking about a male doing something m, Luke Shabani spendninf time with Nene you should put “Shabani enjoyed spending time with HIS daughter” and when talking about a female it would be “Nene spent time with HER dad”. I noticed the captions were not written properly. Just want to help

[@sonjavandam1306]

You got all that wrong.

She isn't appealing to him. She is teasing him, the same way she always does. At least now shabani doesn't even pay attention to her, he just walks away from her. But one of these days he is going to get fed up with the teasing and he is going to go off on her.

[@sonjavandam1306]

I think he already has been over it for awhile.

@@epicFrogman no they don’t, in fact, they eat worse and their enclosure is worse also, haoko’s family is bigger so of course they’re going to have more food to feed all of them.
