*The video was filmed in the afternoon of October 2023 at the Chiba Zoological Park, Japan. In the video, Rola has done with the feeders, and she moves on to look for an earthworm. Rola stares at a boy showing off his food through the fence. The boy's mother stops him. There is always a risk of things being thrown into the enclosures of the gorillas at this zoo. Santa and Gigio are relaxing in the tower. Rola continues searching for a worm. She climbs up to the concrete space near the keeper's area, pees, and then lays down, relaxing. She moves to her room, getting nervous because her supper is served soon. Monta is looking bored. He defecates. The keeper prepares Rola's meal. Rola enters the room and starts eating. She gets annoyed by a male visitor. I don't know why. She calms down immediately after she raises her fist. She resumes enjoying her meal. Monta is relaxing next door. Even though the world is in turmoil, I wish every one of you happy holidays and pray for the peace.🙏

MONTA
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 and Momoko were transferred from Spain to Japan. (age 1 or 3?)
They were kept at Aritake Chojuten Co. Ltd, the animal dealer until they moved to Chiba Zoo in 1993.
• In March 1993, he and Momoko were transferred to Chiba Zoological Park.
NB: The credibility of his birth info is uncertain.
Monta and Momoko grew up together. They were infants when they arrived in Japan. However, due to the allegation of illegal trade, they spent a few years at the animal dealer's place until the allegation was cleared. He desperately needs a companion to live as his kind. He's been living alone most of his adult life. From 2009 until 2010, the zoo tried pairing up Monta and Rola several times. It didn't go well. Since then, he has been all alone. His abnormal behavior of plucking hair has been greatly reduced since the change of his keeper. I hope the zoo will not change the keeper in a short period of time.

ROLA
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. Rola always searches for earthworms as her companions. But they have a short life-span, plus they disappear in cold weather. I hope the zoo will consider the option of Rola living with other small animals. It may help solve her abnormal behaviors and loneliness. It seems her R/R has been greatly reduced since the change of her keeper.
