【Kyoto】Gorilla⭐️Silverback Momotaro‼︎ The road to becoming a good father(Indoor edition)

In order to prevent COVID-19, I can't see inside the gorilla room since April, so I edited only the past indoor video.
It's a pity I can't see what Momotaro and Kintaro are doing in the room, but I hope they're playing together in the room for a bit.
⚠️⚠️⚠️Visitors are kept away from the glass to prevent the gorilla from getting the virus.
So it seems that it will take some time before I can shoot videos like I used to.⚠️⚠️⚠️

If only they could be on a reserve. Wonderful to see them interact as a family, but heart breaking also.

赤ちゃんの可愛らしさは、もちろんですが お父さんの様子が、また可愛らしい。 赤ちゃん、安心しきって遊んでますよね。 お母さんは、さり気なく見守り お父さんは、赤ちゃんに関わりたくて仕方ない。 その関係が微笑ましい。

[@magiccookie22]

Gorilla moms have a lot of reason to be wary with their babies around their dad. Amazing how Momotaro is aware of this, and is trying his best to be very gentle so not to scare mom! It’s also adorable how that other female is helping watch the baby around dad.

[@luvcats120]

What other female? The only other gorilla in the habitat is their older son.

[@magiccookie22]

@@luvcats120 I posted this about a year before I started actually following this family. I was wrong, that's not another female but Momotaro's oldest son lol

[@luvcats120]

@@magiccookie22 No worries! Yeah, there are only 4 gorillas in this troop: Dad, Mom, and the two sons..😊

What a good dad he is! He waited for his son to come to him, so he didn't frighten him. And Mum positioned herself for a quick rescue, each time, should it be needed. Such a lovely little family! All of these videos show a great family in a zoo where they are truly cared for. Well done to everyone involved in their care! What a great dad! I’ll bet he wanted to tell that gorilla who kept interfering to buzz off, but that would have frightened his baby, so he waited patiently! Amazingly good instincts! I love him! When he laid down to be on the same level as the baby, I was amazed! That's a very human thing to do! We know it makes human children more comfortable when adults get down to their level! Amazing! Thanks for this video!

[@luvcats120]

The gorilla who “kept interfering” was his older SON!

[@writingmyway]

Notice how the mother is always on alert and is ready to move in and grab the baby If dad gets a little too close. She such a protective mother ❤

[@user-vs4lk1xj7g]

本当にほのぼのした、昔の家族の風景みたい。 チビちゃんの動きっ放しを、お母さんの目を盗みながら、おっかなびっくり触ってたお父さん😅 ずーっと子供を飽きもせず見守ってる父と母。 今の人間より幸せな子供かも。 本当に優しいんだと感動すら覚えます💕

[@adiharmoko4452]

There is a door to go outside, the gorillas choose to be inside where it's warm

[@user-cu4ui9dk9f]

ゴリラの世界で、こんな子どもに優しい父親っているのでしょうか。そして、子どもだけでなく、お母さんのゲンキを一番大事にしているのが伝わってきます。 オスゴリラの怖さは、姉さん女房のゲンキは分かってるはず。そのゲンキが心配して子どもを連れて行くのを、そのままにして見守っている。 モモタロウのような優しい父親ゴリラが、飼育下だけでも増えていくといいですよね✨

[@MySkinnydip]

These videos always make me tear up! Genki loved and nurtured my little Kinny! Momo was so amazed by his tiny son and Gentaro was trying to do anything to touch his baby brother! Kinny was such an adorable Smurfy little kid with his huge eyes! I love this family so much!🥹

[@kyliewilson2280]

How precious to see daddy Momotaro taking interest in his offspring little Kyoto building such a beautiful bond between the two . I think a Silverbacks interaction with their young depends on their personality some more willing then others but this pair has certainly become very close.🦍🦍❤️❤️

It's so amazing how much they interact as a family unit! So gentle and loving! Some of their gustures and their body language is just like ours. I laughed out loud when dad sat back, crossed his legs and was watching his family! He looked so much like a human dad watching his family at a park. They are truly magnificent creatures! Most humans could take lessons from them!
