I did not see it, but it appears that Gentaro bit Momotaro first. Momotaro got angry at Gentaro for that. 僕は見てなかったのですが、どうやらゲンタロウがモモタロウを先に噛んだようですね。それに対してモモタロウが怒った。

I sure understand that Momotaro got angry if Gentaro bit him. However, I would have liked to see the whole sequence, to really see why it happened. I mean, I can't think Gentaro just walked up to Momotaro and bit him, out of nowhere...

[@klmoll]

@GorillaLife, Is this a list of your videos showing Momotaro-san being a bad or cruel father to Gentaro in your eyes? Not sure since you just have a lot of links listed after my comment supporting Momo as head, silverback, boss, father of this family, @GorillaLife? I feel it is best not to anthropomorphize animals’ actions or lack thereof in comparison to complex human interactions. Taking sides for or against individual animal behavior (not human species) is not scientific. It is emotional. I had a cruel father, but taking my experience with my family unit should not be applied in equally in comparison to another species’ behaviors in their family unit. Can you please respond at your earliest convenience? If I misunderstand, please let me know. We all appreciate your time.

[@chrisreynolds3351]

[@pamelaspain1602]

Out of the Zoos in that country, only 1 female gorilla is not related to Gentaro, Annie. The Zoos don’t do international “swapping/trading” of animals, especially gorillas. A zoo would have to set up a habitat/enclosure for Gentaro & Annie. I don’t know if a Zoo can have multiple Gorilla habitats/enclosures. What is happening between Momotaro & Gentaro happens in the wild. Gentaro is pretty close to becoming a Silverback, so Momotaro is seeing that as a threat. It’s the same in the wild, only it’s happening sooner because the habitat/enclosure that Momotaro & his family lives in is small.

It's probably that extremely small enclosure. They're most likely stressed from their environment. I am no expert on Gorilla behavior whatsoever. But there are bachelor troops here in the U.S. and they don't really fight. It could be because their not getting enough food. I honestly feel so bad for this troop! Not only are they caged, but caged in a small space. I am so sad for them. Every other Gorilla family have a huge space to roam because it's natural for a big animal like a Gorilla

No Momotaro has always been food aggressive. Momo never had a sverback father to teach him nor was he not placed in a bachelor group. Perhaps a year or 2 in a bachelor group would have been best before being a father.

Gentaro's screams were hard to listen to, you can hear his fear. I hope you share this video with the keepers, so they can take a look at Gentaro's mouth and determine if the tooth has to be pulled. Maybe it was food-related, or maybe Gentaro was putting off some hormone scents of his own, and that's what set Momotaro off. And Kintaro, who went to check on his brother, was especially quiet.

I'm really disturbed how the Japanese zoos seem to do or just not care, don't get gorilla's if you don't know what to do with the young male gorilla's. I mean there seems to be problems in the Shabani troop too that Kiyomasa seems to be trying to take over (his strategy seems to be by getting the females on his side). I'm even more concerned about that family because here Monotaro put him on place at least. I'm worried that if Shabani finally does something that it goes so far that he could really hurt Kiyomasa, I really hope the zoo knows what they are doing and move him before anything like that.

[@MzNoemi69]

Many of us have been watching the Momotaro family when King Momo and Genki became mates, and Genki Mama conceived and gave birth to Gentaro. From there, we watched him being hand reared by zoo keepers, until he was returned to Genki at 10 months. We watched him grow from a tiny, dancing gorilla to becoming a big brother. Remember his shenanigans when Kintaro was born? How he would try to get Genki's attention? He's now a very young adult, and is evident when you look at him, that he is now growing into a Silverback build. He will be 12 years old soon, two years older than what Momotaro was when Genki conceived him. This is their second fight, and as sad as it is going to be when Gentaro is removed from the troupe to form his own family, it is time that he be moved, and paired with his future mate. Momotaro is very big, and very strong, but Gentaro is following the way of a still growing Silverback. He will get to a point where he will be equally stronger, and more defiant as they both age. I love my sweet boy, Gentaro, but I want him to be safe, as Momotaro will begin to see him as a threat. 😢

Momotaro would never cause severe injuries to his offspring. It may look severe to us but Momotaro would never kill him or permanently disable him. When he does get into scuffle with Gentaro he never goes full rampage on him he holds back a lot. I also don't believe gorillas see their sons as threats as they get older. I believe What they see is their offspring becoming a silverback & they want to make sure their children learn the ways of being a successful leader of their own troop one day .As they age they have to become more independent so they start to push them away by tolerating less and less. He had extreme patience with Gentaro all his life, but he's getting older and mommy and daddy can't baby him forever or he will never be a successful silverback. Momotaro also has to make sure the young adult male knows his place and learns he can't behave like he rules the roost.Its no different then a human Dad having to show their 16 yr old rebellious son who maybe talked back or got physical',that he will not act like that and get away with it. That as long as he's under his roof ,he must follow his rules. Momotaro is a good father especially since he never had one to show him what that role means.

Another videographer saw what happened before the fight. Apparently Gentaro bit Momotaro, like how he did on their last fight, and Momotaro got angry and started chasing Gentaro until he caught up to him. It's only natural, Gentaro is getting bolder as he matures, Momotaro senses this and sort of bullies him because there is competition for food and space, which gets on Gentaro's nerves. There is no right or wrong, just gorillas being gorillas in a captive environment. These kind of fights will become more frequent, the relationship won't get better between father and son, so it's about time to move him, for everyone's safety and mental stability.

Gentaro acts tough but he's super scared of his father. I felt so bad watching him run away from his Dad around 3:50. In the wild, he would have had the freedom to wander away from his troop for a while. Their enclosure is WAY too small to house 2 fully grown silverbacks. I really hope Kyoto Zoo knows this. 6:43 Sweet Kintaro looks so concerned for his big brother. He probably doesn't understand what's happening.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

Gentaro's still far from a full-grown silverback, even though his father was younger than he is now, when he was born. Momotaro didn't grow up with his father and apparently not having a silverback around makes a male gorilla develop into a mature adult male faster, at least physically. Gentaro may have been bothering his mother and that's what set his father off; he can be very bratty. I assume the zoo has a plan in place for what do do once those two really can't live together anymore, either house him with one or more other young males or send him to another zoo abroad. But getting occasionally physically disciplined by his dad is a normal part of life for a young male gorilla; it sounded terrifying, but obviously Momotaro could have hurt him a lot more than he did, if he'd wanted to.

[@DissidentPrick]

@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci I get disciplined by my father all the time growing up and I’m no gorilla.

[@devonporter7278]

⁠@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ciMale gorillas are usually separated from their family between the ages of 6-10. Gentaro should have been transferred to a bachelor's group before Kintaro was born. To keep him with his natal troop at this point is just slowing his growth and stressing out the troop. The zoo is behind on separating Gentaro from his family. As you mentioned, the absence of a silverback's protection can create stress/incentive hormones that kicks a male gorilla's biology into overdrive (it's a survival instinct.) If Gentaro were moved away from his family today, he would finish maturing much quicker. Hence, Momotaro becoming a full silverback at age 10 and Gentaro still looking and acting like a 7 year old 😅 Look into the science behind bachelor's groups and why they are necessary in the wild and within zoo culture.

[@devonporter7278]

⁠​⁠@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ciAlso, Momotaro has NEVER been around another silverback. Gentaro is his first experience with another blackback. Momotaro reportedly scolds Gentaro on days when his body odor is strong...this is what I mean by the enclosure not being big enough. Gentaro's new scent alone will likely cause tension and even aggressive behavior from Momotaro until he gets used to the smell or he decides Gentaro is a threat. It could go either way. It's also unwise to keep a blackback with their birth troop because there's a risk of inbreeding. Take the Shabani troop cor example, their blackback Kiyomasa is in the same situation except he's matured sexually and has taken to mating with all the females in the troop, including his sister and mother. His sister, Annie, is who Gentaro will likely be paired with...a good thing as Momotaro is not the best silverback for demonstrating how to procreate 😅 so luckily his mate will be experienced. Anyways, I'm rambling. I appreciate the educated reply. I hope you have a great day, fellow gorilla-aficionado! Cheers 😊🦍❤

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

@@devonporter7278 Yes, gorillas - at least captive ones - have none of the taboos against incest that humans have, which is why it’s standard for them to put all sexually mature females on contraceptives if they’re in a troop with any sexually mature males that aren’t approved for them to breed with. In Dian Fossey’s studies of wild mountain gorillas she found that the gorillas’ natural migration habits after sexual maturity tended to discourage inbreeding, and that there at least seemed to be an innate taboo against mother-son mating. But gorillas born and raised in captivity can’t be expected to behave like wild ones.

That enclosure is way too small for two silverbacks. 🙄 2:20 Momo now you can't have all the 🌿 food. 🤦 When Momotaro is being aggressive and bullying about the food, it would be a good idea to let him inside and feed him, separate father and son until things calm down. 3:08 🤔 I don't see a difference from the last fight. Momo is annoyed and going after Gentaro like last time, and highly likely being triggered by Gentaro's strong body odor 😤. If you look carefully Momo does a lot more swinging and roughing up rather than biting. During all this trying to get away Gentaro must've hit his 🦷 tooth on something. 6:40 Aw Kintaro seems to be so worried about his big brother. 8:12 Glad Gentaro got the 🦷 tooth out. 9:40 In the coming days he'll clean the area frequently. I hope it's not too uncomfortable for him to eat. Sigh...well until Gentaro is moved we may see these spats periodically. I mean it won't be a 🦍 fight to the death, but you got two males with strong body odors, that's triggering in and of itself. Gentaro's alarm screaming 🔊 protest, and eventually Momo stops.

Its extremely sad due to the government policies there is no where to rehome Gentaro , There laws are very strict and they won't allow any of the Gorillas there to go to any zoo's outside of their jurisdiction. If they would allow it Gentaro would have many choices where he could go and be with a non related females and start his own pack with lady Gorillas and start having babies soon after. I think Gentaro is soon to be 12 years old. These fights will only increase and get worse as Gentaro continues to grow with his hormones flexing all over the place, just as with any other mammel , plus they are in confined spaces without access to more area , and limited foods. These are very large animal's and requires alot of food for each . I personally don't like zoo's i think they are cruel but at least the majority of them do much better for the animals than in the past history and some of them do play important roles in for endangered species where they participate in breeding programs for certain animals. But the Gorillas like Gentaro life is unfortunately likely to just get harder and more complicated. I wish the governments and all those involved with these animals would make better decisions regarding what is in the best interest for the animal and take politics out of it. So sorry Gentaro

I think thats the message from the very beginning . He is more a loner type of guy . In a class all of his own . Lack affection , picky, and selfish towards his whole troop . It's like he wanted to pick his own mate . From beginning. Instead it was Ginki who chase him down and drop it like its hot and he still ran from her . He needed to have a chance to choose between two females. That could be the cause of lack of affection towards Ginki and her boys. He gave her what SHE WANTED . NOT WHAT HE WANTED .

[@josephburns8400]

I’ve been saying he should be removed for the last 2 years once he started his transition into a silverback bc he was starting to display some of the behaviors that they do in the wild like displaying his strength n dominance by running past his mom n pushing n smacking her n same towards his little brother. Even tho he loves them his hormones make him do these things bc it’s a part of growing up to assert authority n to win over any females who left their troop to find a male to start or add to their families n momotaro let a lot slide but now that he’s about 250lbs he’s not gonna let it go anymore especially when he’s also been trying to take some of the food that his father thinks is his. Idk what they can do with him bc he might be a little to young to start his own troop even tho momo was brought there to meet genki when he was 10 or 12 which is about the same age as gentaro but he was a lot more developed at that age n he can’t stand a chance against his father nor could he if they put him with a bachelor group. And zoos try n keep them as close as they can to wild besides their training so they don’t interfere much unless it’s life threatening So time will tell bc if he gets his adult teeth knocked out it’ll affect him for the rest of his life.

Gentaro bit Momotaro first . That's why Momotaro got angry. No woriies. His baby tooth was pulled out. That’s all.

Being confined in these enclosure makes them fight.

Два самца обречены на постоянные конфликты. Конечно, сложно найти место для проживания подросших горилл и создания новой семьи. Думаю, эту проблему нужно решать совместно с другими зоопарками.

I've noticed the eating habits with each family membe. Momo always collects his many branches,Gentaro who now has an appetite like his fathers...took a massive share and darted when a one branch in the mouth Momo is wondering where the heck is my food. He was hungry and angry especially, when there wasn't anything left in the bag as well.

Gentaro is in need to be separated as per nature.

I saw a Wild Gorilla fight about 10 years ago! The resident male was calmly eating when all of a sudden he jumped up, started Pounding his Chest Hard! Really Hard! Not like when you hear that Clapped Cuffed Hand Slapping, this sounded like Thunder! A outsider male approached in a Hostile way trying to take over as the Alpha Male for Breeding rites! The females and young all screaming and running to hide! The Alpha stood tall and Flexed as the Challenger charged! When those 2 Giants collide it was PURE FURY and RAW POWER and AGGRESSION like I never seen before! After about 10 or 12 of the two tied up together with Fists and Feat Pummeling each other the Challenger tried to escape! The Alpha was right on his Ass! Tearing whole Bushes outta the ground to get at the Challenger! Breaking Tree Branches off of every tree he passed! I mean branches like 3 or 4 inches thick! He was Enraged and Furious! When he caught his rival he started Pummeling him with mighty blows! One after another! The Challenger made another attempt to flee the Beating and was caught right on the chin with a Atomic Right Hand from the Alpha! He actually KNOCKED the Challenger OUT COLD! The men filming said the same thing, the Stench was Sickening! The Screams that the 2 Combatants made were so LOUD and TERRIFYING the crew said they were FROZEN in PLACE with MORTAL FEAR! JUST from their VOCALS! They said they SHIT themselves with Fear and Excitement watching this Instant display of POWER and FURY right in front of them! ! I always knew Gorillas were mighty powerful beasts, but when I saw the FURY in that Alphas Eyes and his Face, and the way he was Hitting, Kicking, Stomping the Challenger, I thought he was going to KILL Him! When the Challenger went limp and fell flat on the ground, the Alpha punched and kicked and stomped him a few more times! Then he just stood over him Glaring Wild Eyed around for his Family to see that he is KING! He is Alpha Male of this Family and just Proved he is ALPHA Male! LORD of His DOMAIN! Was the Most Incredible thing I've EVER SEEN in Nature! The Power and Fury was Incredible! A human would be dead 1st hit! This fight here is NOTHING compared to what I saw! You can't even Imagine the POWER that those 2 Male Silverbacks were displaying in that Fight! The area they fought in looked like it was Bombed in a War Zone! The reigning Alpha LOOKED TWICE as BIG as he did before the fight! He was so PUMPED UP! His RAGE at the Challenger was TERRIFYING! I tried to Imagine What it would be like to have a Beast like him Charge with the exact same Fury at me! ................................................... It would be a GOOD DEATH for a WARRIOR is the Only Thing I could muster! 🙂

[@rosangelagomessoarespaes6224]

Que maldade com Gentaro , condenado a viver preso com seu grupo , quando na natureza ele ja haveria saido e contituido seu próprio bando , ali sem chances 😢

[@mullaway5746]

Exactly what I was thinking, this is so f..ked up

[@lolifernandez6039]

Si,es verdad. Pero también,podía estar su cabeza en alguna casa particular,de gente rica 😥

[@Luciasantos-by9np]

Quando chegar a hora certa eles vao mover Gentaro para outro sitio. Mas Gentaro esta mais seguro no zoo pois na Africa matam os gorilas para comer.

[@livefree810]

He can't get away he ran as fast as he could he was swing in the air, this is a shame he's a wonderful GENTARO, IM SO PISSED OFF, FAT LAZY MOMO,

Kintaro doing that weird staring thing @4:20 for almost 3 minutes straight ! Until Genteel has had enough and tries to punch Kings to in the face @6:45 😂

[@candyjones7745]

This is hard to watch , I agree it's time to move out a have a start with his own family

[@s.thomas6796]

This space is now to small for this Gorilla Family, Unfortunately it’s time to move Gentaro before something bad happens.

[@klmoll]

I’m glad Momo landed on him. He need to remember who is Silverback. Best to discipline now, instead of waiting for it to get worse. It’s not like Momo picks on him. We should all support Momo. He is responsible for his family, physically and emotionally.

[@gurnblanston5000]

How do they know if each emitted body odors? Never heard of that.

[@troutfisher7182]

Maybe they should separate them. Incredible amount of stress for all concerned

[@brandonmatson7618]

Did the fight loosen the tooth or is it baby teeth?

[@Gorilla-Life]

It was a baby cannie tooth.

[@ohredbrd]

I feel really bad for Gentaro. His father really roughed him up and then some to get a loose tooth from it! I just hope that Gentaro did not get a "dry socket" where the tooth came out. I know if you mess with a pulled tooth too much you will pull away the blood clot and expose the bone of his jaw. It has only happened to me one time but I will never forget the pain from it. Poor baby, he always looks a little sad to me.
