Momotaro is lonely and anxious away from his family. Separate room , Gorilla . Kyoto Zoo

[@karoonboomie2813]

My goodness, Momotaro, Genki & Gentaro have been together 24/7 for 12 years, then almost 5 years with Kintaro. Of course Daddo is going to be anxious & agitated he’s their Silverback, there troop leader. True Jungle Love right here!! LOVE THESE GORGEOUS GORILLAS!!!!!!🦍🦍🦍🩶🤍🩶🤍🩶🤍🇺🇸

[@karoonboomie2813]

I can see Genki verbally stressing to staff & Momotaro after noticing him in the other room. So sweet how she peeks into the window to see Momotaro, she misses him too!

[@seasonsofphilly1993]

It's a silverback's job to protect his troop. So, it's understandable that Momotaro was agitated being apart from his family. I could feel his unease the way he was listening at the door, and climbing up to the ledge to look in the window. You can tell Momotaro finds peace in his daily routine, and that was different today. The shape of Gentaro's face and head is definitely changing. Hard to believe the tiny baby in diapers is the handsome gorilla we see today. Genki and Kintaro had me a little nervous the way they quickly snuck in as the door was closing.

After watching Momo for a couple of years now , I’ve noticed he demonstrates the most agitated behaviours around food, when the white hard hats come around and when he’s separated from his family. I think it gets under his skin when his family are away from him because he can’t watch over them as the great protector of them he usually is! 🦍♥️

I get anxious for him when the white hats are around. The family knows also that dad is going to get mad!

White hat =helmet as you know , That is from traumatic memory 😮‍💨 He departed from mother momoko on that day.

Momo is no different from any other silverback. Watching other gorilla families and wild gorillas, the alpha silverback eats first and gets the choicest bits, he's not above taking good bits from others even toddlers. Rule #1 take care of the silverback, he is the leader and protector. That's why the 1st thing learned by the babies is grab your food/treat then hide to enjoy. The gorilla way.🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Great video. Not sure if the cold weather explains why they are indoors separated. With so many videos and channels covering the Japanese zoos, I feel like I missed something important.
