Silverback cuddles up to a sad-looking daughter.｜Shabani Group

Video shooting: April 2024
Ai's daughter, Annie, does not usually approach Kiyomasa's mother, Nene, except to prank her.
But on this day, Annie moved unusually close to Nene.
And Annie was jealous when she saw Nene's son Kiyomasa come over and befriend Nene.
Back in her room, Annie approached Nene again, but Nene had moved on to Kiyomasa.
Annie looked a little sad.

Annie sempre tentou ser gentil com nene, mas a nene foi uma gorila malvada, e nao importa que ela nao tenha conhecido a annie quando nasceu!! Toto veio da selva e recebeu sumomo muito bem!!!!

[@xxNinjaclanxx-id9rs]

I think Annie just wanted Nene's sitting spots. First, to get out of the rain, and then indoors where she relaxes and plays with her mom, Ai. I believe she's accepted the fact that Nene will always consider her an outsider 🤔😢

Fascinating creatures

[@VA4LVRS]

Nene is probably thinking what are you doing here, wish I could just get you. Annie just wants love and affection also . Would love for know why nene doesn’t like Annie, what did she do as a baby

[@jujubegold]

I know! From the beginning Nene didn’t want anything to do with Annie. Same with AI. It’s only now that Ai wants Annie around. Only Shabani gave love and protection to Annie.

[@ChristineCole-kl4vu]

Because Annie was raised by humans for 18 months after she was born,so when they reintroduced Annie Nene and Ai did not see her as part of the troop and Nene wanted her away from Kiyo,Nene seen Annie as a threat to her children and she is the head female of the troop.Human interference had a lot to do with it and Nene still to this day puts up with her but doesn't want to be around her,it's just the way it is and the more Annie keeps annoying and picking on Nene the more Nene hates her,and Ai doesn't give a hoot what happens,she isn't interested in anything really lol.

[@sandraphillips1718]

​@@ChristineCole-kl4vu Yes, Annie was born via C section. Nene doesn't recognize Annie as her granddaughter, but as an outsider to the troop.

[@sandraphillips1718]

I think if Annie would stop the pranks, her and Nene would get along better.

[@jujubegold]

@@ChristineCole-kl4vu haha true. AI just is what she is.

[@flaviablanco8245]

KIYO be nice my beautiful friend 🦍💙 love you 🥰

[@eagleblack6254]

Forse Annie voleva giocare un po' con sua nonna, l'ha vista tante volte farlo con sua mamma Ai. Ma Nene ormai non si fida di Annie e pensa che le avrebbe fatto i dispetti ( e chi lo sa!?) Grazie per il bellissimo video!❤️🍀❤️

[@derwishrenegat743]

There is an interesting fact when gorillas were saved from a war somewhere in Africa when they were still small, and grew up in a human family, which they perceived as their own. Later, when they grew into big gorillas, people had to give them to a gorilla sanctuary. It is interesting that in the as if wild eyes of gorillas, a lively mind shines. They are calmer than chimpanzees, maybe not so fancy for pranks, but still smart.

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

Annie is up to something

[@shannonrenee8813]

When is AI going to have ANOTHER Baby?

[@bar5radass]

I was waiting for the “cuddle” which never happened…

[@irenekopec9892]

JZ, do you know why 2 keepers were replaced at once?

[@japanesezoo]

The reason for the transfer is unknown. I am sorry I cannot give you an answer. They are government employees so they may have been ordered to be transferred or they may have requested it. We have two main keepers but one was transferred and the other stayed.

[@irenekopec9892]

Thank you JZ for your response. Appreciate it very much.

[@she.around]

i fell so in love with this troop 🥹 they deserve all the love and happiness ♥️ the keepers BETTER TAKE GREAT CARE OF THEM 👊🏼 cause Shabani Gang is deep 😂

When it’s raining like that just place food inside
