I realize that the care and protection of so many species in any single sheltered area, is a daunting task. I was both shocked and deeply troubled when I chanced upon this video of the Chimpanzee enclosure in the Asahikawa Zoo in Japan. In all my thousands of Animal Videos, that I have watched in various media, I have seen nothing comparable to the atrocious condition of these amazing animals. I had seen this troop before and seem to recall them as being called, a "difficult" charge. Their health is questionable, their small lockdown area is barely green. They seem to not have enough nourishment to sustain their bodies. Their hair is so sparse, that the "Baby", has little to hold onto and obviously not enough breast milk to survive on. The Baby was so adorable and everybody loved him. What was his name? I can envision this troop in alternative environments with lots of leaves, and grass and trees and fresh air and sunshine and soft straw and blankets to give them some degree of comfort. My heart just breaks for them and the poor helpless Baby, who should have been monitored more closely and should not have died. There needs to be some way to help these poor animals. There needs to be more caretakers, more staff, more interaction with stimulating toys or trees. Chimps are not meant to live in cement boxes . I'm sure everyone there loves animals. There seems to be a major funding problem. Where is Jane Goodall ? I have never seen such a dire and disturbing representation of a troop of Chimps held against their will in cages and cement without a tree. I don't know when this film was made, but I hope it was so long ago, that things have changed and the animals in the care of this " profit based enterprise" are happy and thriving in a new and better sanctuary.

It reminded me of one of Hitlers concentration camps only for chimps! This place needs to be shut down and these animals sent to a real rescue

[@Amber12332]

I thought this looked awful as well. They have no hair and looked malnourished bad. I felt bad for them 🥺😱

[@BougieBlue]

Over grooming ( hair loss. Bare spots) is common in captivity because they spend less time looking for food more time being social. If a baby dies in the wild we don’t raise an eyebrow it happens but in captivity why indeed.

[@sherrae6266]

@@BougieBlue No... this is mange. It happens when a lot of animals are kept in close quarters together and not cared for properly. It is easily manageable, I don't understand why it's not being treated. As for the baby, yes babies in the wild do die however, in captivity the likelihood is greatly reduced with proper monitoring of their health. And to die at over 12 weeks of age, in an area where there is no predators or other dangers, is very suspicious of neglect.

[@dyatlovingk]

@@StoneInMySandal This particular zoo is known for inadequate care, which is readily apparent by the conditions of the enclosure, especially compared to enclosures in Japan like Higashiyama. People have completely valid reasons to question if the infant's death was related to the environment or poor keeper management. More importantly, the University of Kent study by Lowe & Newton-Fisher concerning infanticide observed a single wild chimpanzee family group that already had a higher rate of infanticide than other groups. Infanticide was considered rare , which is stated in the paper. The Kent study's group were also a wild group, this being a captive group, ethical questions about how human/keeper involvement in these scenarios are understandable as many conditions potentially contributing to the infant's death have been imposed by their captivity.

Healthy chimps don't lose their body hair. The whole troop appears to be in poor condition, and housed in a manner that is devoid of enrichment and any sort of natural-like habitat - a teeny patch of grass and a culvert just doesn't cut it. Shame on this zoo for its poor practices that cost the life of this infant chimp and for the neglect of the physical and mental well-being of its adult animals as well. Let's hope the Japanese government steps in and shuts down this poor excuse for a zoo and sends the animals its been neglecting to a sanctuary where they can get the care they deserve.

I don’t think we will know what happened to her but it surely wasn’t the males because they showed nothing but love and concern for her.

[@stephenhearn4582]

Chimps learn by watching their mothers and others in its group in the wild. These chimps.are raised in captivity and.do not get to learn like in the wild where most females would have an offspring every 5 years. If she did not care for the infant she would have just walked away after it was born. I personally.do not like zoos when I was young they would be in smaller cages. Mind you they did change and give them more room but it is still not like the wild chimps in the wild have huge territories because of food sources trees will bare fruit or nuts at different times of the year and chimps will defend their territories to secure food sources. I understand that zoos are helping to keep species alive but they need more room.plus in the wild females once they hit sexual maturity will leave to keep from having a incestuous troop

[@DoCyberCrime]

@@stephenhearn4582 actually it's males that leave, i believe they have observed some group M females leaving and going into a new group, but it is rare. This is with most primate groups, the males will go off and join or create a new troop/group

[@heather_jacobs]

Not true. Ape fathers are ALWAYS involved in the rearing. Not so much with monkeys, but ape dads help the mother a lot. Other community members trusted by the parents can also take part in rearing the babies. Sons are often preferred by the fathers but they take care of daughters just as carefully.

[@guitarjunkie2065]

Thank you, V. The other video I've seen of this baby had a lot of captioning. Many of the individuals were identified by name, along with their relationships to Furt, as the fact is that they are ALL related to her. All but one, an adult female, and she is the one and only that Furt would not trust with the baby. Not, apparently, for anything the other has actually done, but simply because she's not related. So this is a clan. Every single one of the chimps that were given babysitting duty was a close blood relative through the mother. And every one who accepted the job took it seriously, and took excellent care of her. It may not be "normal", but I can't see anything but good in this. I don't see any reason to believe that, as some have suggested, Furt didn't want the baby. Had this been the case, she could certainly have abandoned it or killed it. I think she was just tired. But the baby was never left alone. Never. Everyone, having had custody, then handed it back; never was she just left to then be retrieved by mom. I also don't see her (baby) looking malnourished. Maybe the thinning hair caused people to think that. But that condition appears to be endemic to these chimps, and in fact seems to extremely common in all of the chimps in captivity whose videos are being posted recently. I agree that something is wrong, I'm not trying to normalize this, I just don't think it's life-threatening, or a sign of something that is. Other than stress, maybe. And I don't see any reason to think this baby was abnormally stressed. In fact, one of the few good things that can be said about zoos is that survival itself - getting enough to eat, and avoiding being eaten in turn, or otherwise killed by other animals - is no longer a source of stress at all. For a baby, too young to feel the other stresses of captivity, this should be a clear win. So I just don't see what was so obviously a cry for intervention. I see a very healthy, normal baby, being very well cared for by its entire clan, and with no trouble feeding from its aged mom. My impressions are, of course, just as subjective, and just as limited by video editing, as anyone else's. But it takes time for a baby to waste away from malnutrition, or from illness, and there are highly visible signs - highly visible, not arguable, like whatever some have seen here but I have not - both in the baby's appearance, and in her behavior. They don't just give up from Day 1 without any struggle or complaint. They will fight for what they feel they need, and they will holler and cry and make a nuisance of themselves if they're being neglected or denied in any way. I don't see any of that, either. So, people, lay off. Yeah, it's a shitty enclosure, but it could be worse. They're well feed, they're not stressed or unhappy enough to be self-harming, or trying to murder each other. Whatever happened to this baby is tragic, but sometimes things just are that, and there really isn't anyone to blame. How about waiting for a cause of death and some connecting causal details before pointing fingers. Hmm?

If I had to take a guess at what happened, it's possible that the baby fell off of one of the metal structures on the indoor enclosure. Just my guess, though. There's also some serious inbreeding going on with this troop... according to the GAIN database, Eve, the adult daughter of Furt, was fathered by Furt's own father . This baby was possibly fathered by Furt's grandson, Haruki.

[@suzette1044]

This is so incredibly sad! Dehydration? Not enough breast milk? What was the problem? 😞😢😢😢❤️

[@tarinachickadaunce8011]

I usually don't like the zookeepers interfering with any animals at the zoo BUT clearly their LACK of interfering and not caring enough to make sure the poor baby was properly getting cared for caused this poor little chimps unnecessary passing. I completely put the death of this chimp on their heads. Any other reputable zoo would have taken every action to keep the newborn and momma both safe and well cared for.

[@laurahall4210]

So true @Tarina. The same happened at Kyotocity zoo in Japan and the staff took over. This happened in 2011. Mom Genki is a beautiful caring, shielding mother but the baby boy was not getting enough milk from mom. Now he's a big healthy 11 yr. old living with his mom, dad and 3 yr. old baby brother. By the time baby brother was born mom made enough milk for him and he's thriving and is quite cute funny little fellow!

I’m a horse/dog person. Not crazy about chimps. But if one of my critters had the outwards superficial appearance of these chimps, I’d be on the phone to my vet and on the way to the feed store to upgrade their nutrition. Horses are herd animals, but I would never keep them together if all they did was fight. I realize these are not domesticated animals. But when confined to a zoo, caretakers must step in to insure all are safe. This zoo setting looks just awful. And have to add that it seems these chimps would be susceptible to sunburn without any coat.

[@tradingtimes5752]

You damn right !!!!!!!

[@ZippedUpKitz]

Agreed 100%!!! These chimps look like they have mange! They are ripping their hair out from stress and are clearly malnourished … they just look awful…

[@sarah2.017]

They're missing most of their fur!

[@robertahill929]

I am in awe of the way these chimps look. Their skin is so so dry and the mother has no hair to even keep her baby warm and secured. Something isn't right just looking at these chimps doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this. 🤨🥺🧐

[@kittmeno3918]

Is this place some sort of a testing lab ? Why do they all look like they are sick? Bald or missing big patches of hair and they look thin to me.

Es maravilloso ver y aprender como estos animales comparten el duelo y apoyan a la madre con la perdida de su bebé..... doloroso ver ésta etapa😔😭

[@mooncakerabbithender7203]

I am so sad to see this dear little baby like this I think poor Furt should have been on birth control her age was not for having another baby. I worried so much over this. This Zoo should be ashamed for allowing this to happen in the first place. I worry that they are all losing their fur. Whilst the zoo feeds them sugar water and not enough nourishment. Thank you for sharing this with us. It has taken me a while to be able to watch the video as it is so sad.

[@PrimateProductions]

Hair not fur

[@margaretnacey9137]

Mom seems so distracted! And the little one is finding it hard to find enough hair to grab and hold on to! Wish they had been left inside where they could have bonded better and observed more closely.

[@PrimateProductions]

What do you mean? It is more stressful for them to separate a mom and newborn from the rest of the troop

[@tamiajohnson5061]

This is so sad to hear. I was concerned about the way the mother was handing the baby off and carrying him by one arm. I have never seen chimps look so.. harsh and sick. 😭 Can someone tell me why do theses chimps look like this. They do look sick and the baby was the only that actually looked healthy.

[@GreatApesZoo]

[@tinamessere2843]

I agree with you I am never and I have been a fan of chimps my whole life and I have never seen chimpanzees look this way never never ever it's horrible they could have saved that baby's life

[@paulhall1239]

Yeah there's only one keeper for the whole zoo

[@barbarageorge7848]

The baldness is from over grooming each other. In the wild it’s done to bond. In bondage, they also do it out of stress. I asked another site about other bald chimps and that was their response.

[@Ivan-oi8un]

so unfortunate the baby was so cute, what happened to the little one?

[@vickie2281]

So what was the cause of death??The beginning of video the baby was moving around being curious, acting like a young little chimp. Why did this baby die??

Its sad to se how this zoo dont take care of the animals.How can they have miss this. I am angry and sad.😢😭

[@brandonrains5602]

2 observations: 1) The troop seems to have a bizarre culture... a lot of stress and tension. 2) The baby seemed to have oddly developed genitalia... like she had a disorder.

[@traceyanderson3942]

The way the baby was handed around was exhausting. Poor babe. I am surprised she wasn't separated very early and either given to a single surrogate or to be hand reared by staff.

That enclosure is the saddest the most hopeless place I have ever seen. no living thing could Thrive or be happy there. the people owning it should go. and never be allowed to work with another living thing! because there isn't any Redemption for them. and that baby had no chance I hope they close it down and very quickly at that! peace be.

Hi can someone tell me in English what happened to this adorable little baby im so heartbroken and for the mother too its soooooo sad

[@tamcole1203]

I began calling the baby Miracle because the zoo didn't even name her. Poor Miracle deserved better and it makes me so sad that she didn't get it. I am not a big fan of zookeepers stepping in for no good reason, but baby Miracle clearly needed help. I am crying and I am angry and I am sad. I wish Miracle could have known that many of us loved her and were hoping she'd make it.

[@troycote4503]

Very sad. I see no love in the hearts of these chimps. Tama Chimps make me smile. These Chimps make me question why I'm watching!

[@donnaadams5217]

My thoughts too the mom kept handing the baby over that there was telling enough plus all of them nearly all have alopecia stress I wonder maybe look at the food take bloods something ain't right wee soul couldn't keep warm as she had barely thick hair and poor mom had naen I hope they do some serious thinking to what has happened again and try to look at other zoo s maybe learn that it's not a matter of putting them all in a cage and feeding them the same stuff everyday and the honeywater to as I read that's not good anyway I hope things change and sterilise old moms. Wee miracle rip

This is not a zoo, this is a concentration camp. They should be accused of animal abuse! I've seen these chimpanzees before, but I stopped looking at them for a while, because it's hard to look at animals condemned to humans that look like mutants from a horror movie. I visit many Zoos and believe that Asia has no idea of ​​the conditions in which animals should be kept (there are exceptions, but few). Here we have chimpanzees with advanced skin disease (scabies?) Because it is not a result of stress, although looking at this inner rundown it is also likely Old female who should be vesterilized giving birth to a child who is rejected from the first moment and where are the caregivers, where are is the vet blind? It was only a matter of time before this child died, and it was strange that it lived as a toy for other chimpanzees for so long, I don't see food in those empty mother's breasts, except that she doesn't feel like taking care of it, wants to get rid of it, and she finally made it. You could put the mother to sleep and take the baby, even though she was so abandoned that it would have been possible to give them all something good to eat, because they don't look well fed either! This death is the fault of the zoo and they should be punished, only the pity of the creature that died. I am also surprised by visitors that they do not see what these chimpanzees look terrible and are amused instead of complaining about the treatment of the animals!

[@robertahill929]

The mothers breast milk wasn't full was she producing milk? She is really old and i am surprised she gave birth to a healthy lil' girl. It was afterwards this baby died and yes this zoo should have seen it coming. Does anyone know these chimps and other monkeys are trapped and eaten by Africa ppl. The baby they just leave their to die. It does look like a concentration camp I mean look at the Champs that says it all

[@cherokeeheartct8633]

[@yanlon6957]

To keep all these monkeys in the zoo is not a matter of joke. They must be allow to go freely in the wild forest as they are made to live. Why should they be keep inside the zoo without any movement. 😊😇

[@dmgib5239]

This was sadly just a matter of time. Furt is too old & tired to protect and raise infants. They need constant protection. Their heads are just as vulnerable as human infants. Handing baby off to other chimps, as Furt did, sealed his fate. Their are countless ways the other chimps could have killed him. Dragging, dropping squeezing, etc.

[@GreatApesZoo]

✨🌈🙏

[@nellieb9434]

Oh NO this is Horrible. The baby was precious. This makes me so mad!! Why couldn't they give to another zoo because Furt did not want it. I wish there was something we all could had done or some place to do a petition to get more keepers. Sad day! I was hoping it would make it!!

[@nicolefournel-hartery8187]

This is my first time watching them and i'm not very knowledgeable on these animals. Can someone tell me why some of them have large masses hanging from their butts.

This is wholly the fault of the zoo. It was clear the infant was being mistreated and should have been removed. If you are going to keep them in captivity, in a completely abnormal environment, you need to step in when things aren’t working properly.

The chimps did try to care for the baby and was gentle (they are known to play rough with their babies), but it is obvious that all of them are not in good health. Prayers that the worldwide breeding program will take note of their care in general and help this zoo get some resources. I can understand them not intervening as it is very dangerous to enter into a primate facility where they have not had training by the staff. Rest in peace little one🙏🙏🙏

[@PrimateProductions]

Tried to care for it huh? It is not normal at all for a mother chimp (or any other chimp) to hold a baby this young by one arm out away from its body constantly refusing to allow it to cling to her chest! There are also procedures that allow the staff to safely remove a baby chimp from the enclosure so that it can be hand reared. This was clearly a case of neglect and abuse by the chimps and mother as well as the zoo staff.
