Keeper's guide for Taro, western gorilla

Taro is the oldest male western gorilla in Japanese zoos.

I wish Monta and Rola and the animals at Chiba had this wonderful care, too. Thank you for looking after Taro so well.

坂口さん、有難うございます！話し方が優しくて聴きやすいです♪タロウさんのお食事タイムまたお願いします。

Taro is handsome 😍 and he eats good. God bless the keepers ❤️🦍 wow, he's eating the apple appropriately. I LOVE Gorillas

[@penelopelopez8296]

I wish I knew this old guy’s story. There must be a reason why he’s by himself. He looks good for his age….all his fur is thick and he has a very impressive dome with all that thick, fluffy fur.

[@johnhoney5089]

His mate died ten years ago, and there are no spare females his age. The only female in Japan close to his age was raised by humans & is scared of other gorillas (Laura of Chiba Zoo).

今日の説明でタロウさんの大ファンになった。

色がよく見えているのでしょうか？ タロウさんにはこの世界がどんな風に映っているのかな… なんて想像します。ありがとうございました😊

１人だけどのんびり自由に、周りにとても大切にされながら良い環境で老後を過ごせているなぁと羨ましく(笑)思いました😃可愛いタロウさん仙台のドンさん以上に長生きしようね✨とても楽しい企画ありがとうございました🍀

What a distinguished, older gentleman. He was NOT liking that red pepper tho!! Looks like he likes the sweet stuff. Are any of these videos with English subtitles? Thanks.

[@penelopelopez8296]

I would love to know his story.

[@m.w.976]

Taro looks great to be 47 years old. He lives alone? He doesn't have a troop? The staff treat Taro very well. His living area is clean and they give him a nice variety in his diet. He doesn't like red bell peppers, though 😅

坂口さん わざわざ素敵な動画ありがとうございました😊タロウさん 私と同じでパプリカが苦手とわかり 益々親近感を覚えます。私はお隣の県ですので まだお邪魔出来ませんが　こうして動画で見せて頂いてお猿さんたちの様子がわかるのは ホッコリありがたいです。解除されましたらまたお邪魔しますので よろしくお願いしますヽ(^0^)ノ

I wish Momotaro got feed like this he wouldn't be so food aggressive.

[@penelopelopez8296]

Momotaro is just a mean silverback.

[@johnhoney5089]

@@penelopelopez8296 Momotaro isn't too mean. That title might belong to Haoko.

Why Red foods?

タロウさんに会いにいきたい！✨

[@user-m1fact-spot]

赤い物の実験、興味深いネ、よく御研究成さっておられます坂口さん！。奥村さんが順番に並べた赤い物を行儀よく順番に食べているのに驚き！　奥村サンの用意してくれた物への配慮が感じられた。好きな物や苦手な物が、良く分かりました。落ち着いたタロウさんの姿に、よく環境整備されてますので健康ですね、是非、長生きして欲しいナ〜！　現在４９才のタロウさんコンニチワ、クフゥ〜。

Wish there were English subtitles.

[@av8tore71]

He is such a handsome guy!! He eats an apple just like how we would lol

タロウさんが苦手な背の高い飼育員さんへの対応どんな感じやろー

[@jocianerodrigues6107]

Pena não ter tradução nós vídeos mas adoro ver os Gorilas 🐵🐵😍😍

[@mentayflor]

Poor Taro. Why is he alone?

[@johnhoney5089]

His mate died years ago, and there aren't any spare females of a similar age to him. This also happened to silverback Shou.

[@OtDawn]

Why are all his treats red ?

[@jocianerodrigues6107]

Ricas frutas 😃👏👏👏o Momotaro adora 🐵😅😅😅😍😍😍❤❤❤

[@user-iq5sl6mw2p]

Это не момотаро

[@ninawest8]

Who are his children?

[@marieldeguzman6193]

I wish there's a English subtitles....so taro loves red food....why?

[@user-tv2ec4rx2t]

太郎、ジジイだったのか？

[@Beruthiel45]

Is Taro Momentaro's father? In Kyoto?

[@marieldeguzman6193]

No..Momotaro's dad is Biju who passed away 1999 before momotaro was born....

[@ninawest8]

Is it true that Momotaro is food aggressive because he had to fight his older brothers for food?

[@roxannamccarthy4576]

@@ninawest8 bad brothers because his dad died before he was born so I just assumed he was an only child other than Ricky his little baby brother soI learned something. .

[@yvonnejones9940]

@@watchingnwaiting5264 So is this a repeat Shou incident. He also had a mate who was very attached to who died 10yrs ago from cancer. The only other info I've seen is that Shou became so upset he "lost his mind"--whatever that really means. Shou is also old and has no offspring. Is this the same for Taro? Have you seen any info about how Japan plans to increase its gorilla gene pool? I have tried to research on this but no info yet. Seems I have developed a real passion for gorillas during Covid isolation. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
