It was filmed on Monta's birthday in September 2023. Monta is lying down in the grass. He is relaxing in his enclosure. The weather cools down, and it's a fine, windy day. At around 13:00pm, his keeper prepares special treats for Monta's birthday celebration: corn, cut apples, oranges, blueberries, hardtacks, and iced fruits or vegetables.
Monta enters the room. He seems to be wondering what the treats are. He smells one of the iced cylinders, which is probably made of fruits and juice. He picks corn first. He enjoys eating everything except iced fruits. He goes to sleep. He seems to be content after eating them. Happy Birthday, Monta! You deserve it. I hope all the relevant parties will help Monta end his solitary life.
Rola also received special treats for her birthday. The keeper has posted a photo and a short movie of Rola enjoying the treats on Twitter👉 / 1704369293033603317
Thank you to their zookeeper for providing Rola and Monta special treats for their birthdays.

male western lowland gorilla
DOB: Sept 25,1984 in Spain or 1986 in Africa?
POB: Spain or Africa?
Parents: Unknown
Rearing: Unknown
• In 1987, Monta was transferred to Japan.
• In March 1993, he and Momoko were transferred to Chiba Zoological Park.
NB: The credibility of his birth info is uncertain. It's kind of a mystery that his parents are unknown yet his birthdate is indicated.....🤷🏻‍♀️
Monta and Momoko were transferred to Japan when Monta was around 3 years old via Spain. When he was little, Monta easily got lonely. In his childhood, Monta was often being chased by an elderly gorilla, Momoko. They grew up together. He's been plucking his face hair constantly. He desperately needs a companion. But as for now this kind of abnormal behavior can be reduced if the zoo puts more emphasis on environmental enrichment. He needs stimulation. He's been living alone most of his adult life. From 2009 till 2010, the zoo tried pairing up Monta and Rola several times. It didn't go well. Since then, he has been all alone.

female western lowland gorilla
DOB: Sept 21,1977
POB: Beppu Cable Rakutenchi, Japan
Sire: Gonta | Dam: Rirako
Rearing: Hand-reared
• In Sept 1977, Rola was born and was being hand reared in a vet house. No trial to return her to Rirako. But her case gave a lesson for zoos and keepers in Japan that a gorilla should be raised by its own kind.
• In Nov 1980, she was transferred to Tobu Zoo
Basically she was living alone but her keeper used to play with her.
• In Oct 1993, she was transferred to Ueno Zoo, and lived with her mother, Rirako, and other gorillas.
• In Dec 2008, she and Kenta were transferred to Chiba Zoo and lived with him until he passed away in 2016.
Rola has difficulty in communicating with other gorillas. Especially when she is put with a silverback, she becomes ill except with an individual like Kenta who had no interest in gorillas. She loves sunbathing. She occasionally exhibits abnormal behaviors such as coprophagy, licking urine, regurgitation and reingestion. I believe such behaviors can be reduced if the zoo puts more emphasis on environmental enrichment. Rola always searches for an earthworm as her companion. But it has a short life-span. I hope the zoo will consider the option of Rola living with other small animals. It may solve her abnormal behaviors and loneliness.
