Huge Silverback Gorilla Never Yield To Young Male's Challenge | The Shabani Group

#Gorilla #Shabani #Kiyomasa
November 2023.
It was raining in the morning, and by midday the rain had stopped and it was cloudy at the Higashiyama Zoo.
Shabani and Kiyomasa were spending the morning getting along well.
Kiyomasa played well with his sister Annie, and Annie played well with her mother Ai.
The Shabani family was doing nothing out of the ordinary, but before noon, things changed drastically.
Shabani's son Kiyomasa was showing off (displaying) to Shabani, and Shabani was showing off back to Kiyomasa.
It was a very tense situation, but by lunch time, both sides had cooled down and were back to the usual Shabani family.

06:10 キヨマサは明らかにシャバーニに対してディスプレイをしてますね。 ただ、シャバーニはそれに屈せず群れのリーダーとして堂々としています。 そして、シャバーニのディスプレイでキヨマサは萎縮してしまってますね。 キヨマサは、まだまだシャバーニを越せないでしょうね😊

Así es Sabanis es único tiene una rudeza impresionante y no se deja impresionar se para erecto cualquiera se asusta sus desplazamientos y movilidad es única un bailarín profesional

[@Linda-qi8iy]

This is so sad to be in a concrete enclosure with knotted ropes to climb on as opposed to their natural environment and trees. This is heartbreaking.💔😢

[@ronaldmontgomery2079]

Just like prisoners

[@rickyfrance8978]

Yes you are right it should be the other way around

[@wintersummers3878]

Unfortunately, animals adapt to the environment they are FORCED to live in.

[@jujubegold]

Unfortunately if placed in their natural environment right now they’d be all killed by poachers within a year. Not to mention the only gorilla not born in captivity of this troop is Nene and she’s over fifty years old.

[@Mr.MidKnight]

​@@jujubegoldmakes you wonder, these magical animals can live in the mountains, and jungles, why can't we just grab enough orangutans, gorillas, and any apes or monkeys or any animals for that matter, that wouldn't hurt the environment and could adapt and survive, should be brought to the Americas and released into the jungles here, they could survive and be relatively poacher free. And could live better and happier lives. And could probably benefit our environment, but nope.

Shabani Rock's in the rain. I love it when Shabs displays, he is a magnificent silverback & the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, enter Kiyomasa, he is rather slimmer than I remember. I'm in no doubt things will kick off again soon. Ty.✴️

Sabanis es esafiante tan rudo impresiona mucho Kiyosama y Gentaro están increíbles bellos esos cuerpos de los jóvenes esbeltos Kiyosama quiere desafiar a Sabanis todavía no lo ha logrado ojalá a esa tropa de hembras y varones jóvenes les busquen su lugar debían hacerlo con mucha responsabilidad ya para evitar males mayores

[@sandraphillips1718]

Shabani is still in charge ! 🦍💪👑🥰

[@Kiowa371]

They were moving kinda stealth today. Could be practicing for a mad dash out of there 👀😂.

[@eridan565]

Didn't seem like a challenge to shabani they both went into posture because of the person standing in the window 😂

The way they strut their arms with their lips puckered in kills me everytime. 😂❤

[@ellenknell9645]

I love watching Shabani in the rain. He loves the water. I remember back in their old outside enclosure when he'd play in the cement sand box looking pool. He'd play and play, then wash himself. He wouldn't let Ai in it either. He's hilarious.🤣💖💦

Looks like my aunt Louis

Kyio looks more and more like shabani. But daddy is still bigger. They both have beautiful muscular bodies

[@evonwilliams7502]

Sabana is so big and handsome and a little silly and funny i just love the way he walks 🤩😍🥰😇

[@jasonromero7277]

It saddens me seeing such beautiful an majestic creatures incarcerated in what seems to a horrible existence for them. They appear to be living with endless amounts of boredom and frustration being looked at all the time. It’s easy to see this by Creatures that able to express themselves with such intelligence. They don’t even have something soft to lay on like in the wild. Ironically neither do our incarcerated humans. At least humans know why they are where they are.. these creatures need to be returned to the wild. I really don’t see any purpose in zoos other than to heal it hurt or sick animal a breeding program for endangered species.. I just think they should be shut down because it’s cruel and demeaning and we’re better than that.

Shabani aujourd'hui n était pas content avec kiyo 😄❤

[@2btpatch]

Kiyomasa spent a lot of time posturing in front of his dad until Shabani put the run on him. I love how Annie ran between them to shield her brother, but Shabani showed Kiyomasa his place in the troop hierarchy. Shabani rules!

[@kathiehamm4773]

That's rather obvious!!! As well he should be!! After all he is the alpha male!

It's hard for me too watch these videos of these animals in captivity. They just look out of place. Concrete enclosures and fences, but this is their forever homes😢.

[@user-mc3pk5jl2b]

They probably feel like enslaved humans. These animals have spirit, love, family structure. Seem very human like maybe better in so regards😢❤.

They don't need humans to survive in their worlds. Leave them in the so called wild. This probably seems wild to them.

When u think about it, all the gorilla's really need now is their orange shirt, orange pants and sandals. They look like they're locked up inside of a prison. Real depressing if u ask me..

[@anthonylove5275]

I think keeping animals in cages like zoos should be illegal! Animals should be left alone in their habitat,not on display for humans enjoyment. 😠

[@chrisbowers5498]

Agreed

[@lesliemccauley2003]

I agree as well as children should be left alone in the womb. Not for sale as organ tissue

[@zayboaintlying1207]

Zayboaintlying I agree but we need to save them from extinction because we are losing the fight in the forest!!

Agreed old school was taught just mindless animals...to be slaughtered for us..yes a circle of life in all things..but this is cruel n torturous.. Big Cats especially

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Do some truth research before spouting off some stupid comment.

[@tpl608]

Stop uploading videos with terrible crackling sound.

[@F4pylt]

In our human code of justice this is called ‘life imprisonment without the possibility of parole’. That sentence is prescribed only for those guilty of heinous criminal behavior. These gorillas are guilty of nothing. It is disgusting that we subject them to our worst criminal punishments, so we can be entertained. That begs the question, is it the jailer or the incarcerated that is the uncivilized species?

[@francoftpandolfo1892]

This is prison...they are not our slaves...bored depressed and cruel to be not free from slavery for profit making greed😢

[@temahperak8437]

Manusia suka buat bising...haiwan pun tak suka

[@edwardhawthorne9513]

They look like prisoners.. They are prisoners being punished for no crimes. They have committed no crime so why are they sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole? You could at least out them in a place like wildlife Safari in Winston Oregon. They would have miles of freedom with others just like them. We cannot allow these big powerful beautiful beings to be treated this way. Where is this place? Wheres the protesters? Wheres the ALM? ANIMAL LIVES MATTER. THIS MAKES ME SO UPSET THAT WE ALLOW THIS AND PAY FOR OUR CHILDREN TO SEE SUCH TORTURE TO ANOTHER PART OF GODS CREATION. 😢😢.

These animal lovers are really confusing me. They say that they love animals but they keep them in cages and captivity. Leave the animals in their own habitat. How you like to be put in a cage and controlled the way the so called animal lovers do

[@kathiehamm4773]

How else are we supposed to learn about their behavior if we don't have the ability to observe them? Granted, it would be better for them to be in conditions closer to their own habitat!! But what can I say? You do what you gotta do!! It's as simple as that. Maybe someday!!

[@JB19504]

Why is the food scattered all over the place.? Why don't they put it in a container where there is enough for everyone, and where they can go whenever they are hungry. It's only vegetables and not very expensive. Instead they make the gorillas pick up scattered scraps all over the ground. Not cool, in my opinion.

[@2btpatch]

The zookeepers want to make the gorillas work a little for their food, not have it in a handy container. Other zoos hide food in all sorts of places to keep the gorillas on their toes.
