Silverback enjoys being chased by an angry female gorilla｜Shabani Group

Video taken: March 29, 2024
After breakfast, Kiyomasa and Annie were playing outside, while Shabani, Ai, and Nene were in their room.
As Kiyomasa and Annie were playing, they heard shouting from the room.
Shabani was being chased because he seemed to have messed with the Ai and pissed it off.
For a moment there was tension, but the situation was quickly resolved.
A smile was on Shabani's face as he was being chased

Thank you for your many kind comments. It made me very happy😊. We will continue to work on the subtitle in the future. I am sure that sometimes there will be translations that we don't understand. We apologize for the inconvenience 🙇.

[@lynngold1865]

@japanesezoo-thank you for your awesome videos.i have a photo of YOU that my friend Gisel sent me when she was visiting Japan!It's nice to know what you look like.Shabani on top of the tower watching the chimps was a great shot!he is just a natural poser.i just loved that part!Thx again.😉💜🦍💜🌌🙋‍♀️

[@debbiestonehouse]

I think you all do a brilliant job and I love the videos. For my birthday my son adopted me a Westland mountain gorilla and I call him Shabani. Mind the postman had an awful job delivering him . ❤️🇬🇧

[@davidbriggs8076]

Dear Japanese Zoo, please write your subtitles exactly as you want. Ignore comments about subtitles not being correct. We can all understand your subtitles even if they occasionally are not perfect English ❤

[@stevemorris6790]

Shabani the eternal kid!

[@pitdog75]

Like most guys.

[@magpie4153]

Don't worry about your English, it is very good.....we love and appreciate what you do, it is wonderful to be able to see through your eyes these magnificent creatures. You do not know the joy you give to so many people. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@j.p.blanks4552]

Always love your videos no matter what the subtitles says, thank you for all that you do for our Gorilla community around the world!!

[@ChristineCole-kl4vu]

I love Nene she certainly doesn't back down and is never scared to walk right up to shabani when angry Kiyo would be lost without her.

[@bigboytoyz541]

When shabani stops running she gets scared. Then she stops dead in her tracks, because she knows what will happen if she keeps pushing.

[@2btpatch]

Chasing Shabani to protect her children keeps Nene interested in life. It’s good for her!

[@Tjg0719]

Was going to say she def backs down a lot of times after starting it

[@Greylock21]

Happy Easter from 🇺🇸 🌎 The Lord has Risen ❤🤍💛💫

[@luiza8578]

I prefer subtitles with bad English than no subtitles. I can't always identify the gorillas, so the legend helps a lot.

[@MySkinnydip]

I’m grateful for the subtitles JZ!🙋🏽

[@MySkinnydip]

@@eaglesflyproud Yes! Please! Did you see the news that Fredricka accepted Jameela? I had tears in my eyes!🥲

I love All of them so very much ❤️❤️❤️

Great video .. great commentary to!👍👍👍

I thinkNene is the glue that holds them altogether ❤️🇬🇧

I love watching Nene when she's having time to herself. 10:18 Such a beautiful little lady.❤❤❤

Shabani is a King.

[@sylvie2519]

I love Nene and Shabani. And the rest of the family. Nene is petite yet strong and endearing

[@racheleastwood5588]

Don't mess with the queen Nene 😁😁💚💛💚💛

[@CherokeeJackson]

JZ you just keep doing what you’re doing, you do a great job! You will never please everyone, so no need to try! I figure you’re a Japanese citizen and Japanese is your first language and English is your second, which is very impressive! I’m pretty sure most, if not all viewers know what you’re trying to say! Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!

[@japanesezoo]

Thank you for your comment. I hope to study English and someday be able to accurately subtitle my thoughts without using translations. Thank you very much.😊

[@eaglesflyproud]

@@japanesezoosome people have nothing better to do in their life. Please don’t pay attention to them. I for one enjoy your subtitles and the effort you put in filming this magnificent troop for us. Thank you ❤️🦍

[@raquelflowers5318]

Shabani loves getting a rise from the ladies😂😂😂😂 I love this family. Thank you for sharing.

[@AustenLennon]

No no no no no. I love the way you described what was happening ignore people who criticise you go back to the way you were describing all the actions even if one or two were slightly wrong it is very nice to see it don't change anything

[@user-jb8pu5wb9b]

Good morning , and happy Easter to the family.

Just the sheer power of the Silverback is insane.

Nene❤ si ferma subito perché è intelligente, e conosce Shabani❤. Sono felice di vedere che sta bene sia lei che Annie❤, l'altro giorno l'ho vista ansiosa. Grazie per i bellissimi video! ❤🍀❤

[@daikaijuzilla]

Nene’s the best! 💚

[@debbiestonehouse]

My son at Christmas adopted me a mountain gorilla and I named him after Shabani.

[@latonyagreen-warner7402]

I can recognize Annie by her little skinny legs😂😂. And she look just like her dad.

[@giselavo8842]

Nené passt auf ihre Kiyomasa auf😍❣❤

[@josegg1780]

Tienen que estar en libertad ❤

[@dawnfoltz3856]

I've always loved your subtitles. Please don't change. I appreciate you!

[@abelreytor7722]

He’s up there to quiet those rowdy chimps, they seem to forget who the king is…😂😂

[@lisaramsey5211]

How is NENE health and her foot . 😢 she is my favorite.

[@japanesezoo]

As for Nene's leg, she feels that it has recovered almost as well as before. Rest assured I heard similar comments from the gorilla keepers 😊.

[@MySkinnydip]

8:23 Shabani says”My daughter tells me there is a cute baby. I love babies!”😊

[@patriciaplan420]

Quand Shabani marche sur 2 pattes, ça paraît tellement humain !

[@VA4LVRS]

Nene loooks sooo little next to shabani, kiyo you lucky your mom was there 😂😂 shabani on top of things today 😂😂😂

[@VA4LVRS]

Shabani is like we are having breakfast together this morning 😂😂😂soo stop running and let’s eat 😂😂😂

[@SteveO5547]

Hope you weren't offended by the viewers comments about the subtitles, your uploads are greatly appreciated. Thank you

[@joegaito702]

Just hilarious priceless gorillas are very smart and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from them god bless you guys you guys rock way to go we laugh and learn and benefit from them stay safe and warm out there much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be amazed and proud way to go !!! Joe 😅😅😊😊

[@penderhippy]

Don't shorten the subtitles!!! Maybe just tun them through AI like chatgtp to see if they're correct, I really enjoy the subtitles, the more information the better!!!

[@2btpatch]

Keep writing the subtitles the way you want, JZ. I do so enjoy your videos.❤ For her age, Nene shows a lot of grit, and she is not afraid to express herself. I found it amusing that Shabani took Kiyomasa’s food, as Kiyo is usually the one stealing Nene’s. I appreciated the shot of the chimp and her baby, showing us what Shabani was looking at. 🦍💕

[@user-hq9bh5gi5t]

Absolutely! Try to speak Japanese before you judge. The Japanese put far more effort in speaking English than we do Japanese! I appreciate you bringing us the videos and your interpretation on them! Please, keep them coming!!

[@zombieGI]

How majestic, how like man in their behavior . Give them a phone and teach them how to tweet, and i couldn't tell them apart

[@01maggie]

Keep doing what you are doing. Don't change a thing!!! I love your daily videos of Shabani family and your comments. It really helps us figure out what's going on and with whom❤

[@Enthusiastic777]

What a magnificent creatures. Real kings of the animal World.

[@jhebrooks]

Will we ever have more babies from shabani?

[@muriel7100]

J'aime bien comment néné tiens tête a shabani et lui il l écoute mais il ne frime pas avec sa néné 😅 et merci pour vos vidéos elles ont super moi même je ne connais pas trop l anglais les vidéos on dit beaucoup je suis française 😅merci pour tout 🙏🇫🇷

Thankyou for sharing your videos and maybe subtitles ain’t always correct but you’re in another country and learning English but I always get what you trying to say. Their your videos do what you want, thankyou again for sharing

Shabani the king of Tig. He loves the chase.

[@phil669]

Poor Shabani. So misunderstood.

[@BrooklynRedneck]

lmfao reminds me of myself when my girlfriend gets mad and tells me to leave her alone 😂😂

[@angelasikorra1541]

So the thing that draw me to this channel is the to do not use AI for your subtitles, and there is a very personal touch to them. Any grammar or wording are so small that I've never actually remembered any, and it is very easy to tell what you are conveying. Please do not change that. I also subscribed right now too. I only noticed now I've been watching this for a few months and no subscribed but I thought I did. Well that person complaining triggered this so actually thank them for needlessly whining bc it got you subscribers ❤❤❤❤😂

[@paulagola2307]

❤ Shabani ❤ what can I say about my dear sweet sexy Shabani. He has such a gentle heart he loves his family dearly and enjoys annoying Nene,In a good way ❤ This is a very special gorilla 🦍 family and Shabani is an Amazing leader ❤ ❤❤ Thank you guys for caring for them.

[@A.L.Gardner]

Poor Shabani, always being chased by women...😂

[@user-uf3kr2gy6r]

The ultimate question to just how close humans and gorillas are to each other: Do gorillas beat their meat?

[@jacquelinerussell8530]

SHABANI "What in the H*** is wrong with you woman" lolololol

[@cricket9629]

Can someone answer a question for me? Why does the Shabani troop receive so many wonderful vegetables, when the Momotaro Troup only gets grass, leaves and occasionally a few carrots? It really breaks my heart for the Momotaro family!

[@sharonkeisling7926]

Shabani is like his brother haoko. They like to make the girls mad.

[@karenclare4241]

Do silverbacks like to be chased now and again?

[@eridan565]

Some yes like Shabani and his brother haoko will annoy troop members for attention and chases 😂 silverbacks can be very mischievous and boisterous 😅

[@karenclare4241]

@@eridan565 thought so thanks for that

Hey JZ , so will there be a marriage proposal for Annie , there’s a very handsome bachelor in Kyoto zoo, by the name Gentaro , waiting!😂

[@japanesezoo]

I too hope that time will come. I know Annie will be a great mother 😊.

[@NanaVicki1]

I feel stupid asking but...do females ever get silver? I'm so grateful and appreciative all you do for these amazing creatures, but it's so sad that you have to.

[@sandraphillips1718]

No .. just the male gorillas. They are silverback.🦍

What is the purpose of animal life? Apart from eating and reproducing...

[@warriorpoet9629]

That’s my ex

[@JaDaddy2438]

Shabani is the perfect specimen! So impressive

[@dscotp185]

Some times you refer to Shabani as "she" instead of "He", as well as mix up the others: Shabanian "He", Kiyomasa "He", Annie "she", Nene "she", Ai "she" 👍

[@pamcunningham9608]

This is a translation issue. For some reason automatic translators have trouble parsing pronouns correctly from many Asian languages. I have a feeling that pronoun genders are inferred from context in Japanese and other languages, so it's easy to confuse them.

[@Bella_Rose.2023]

I think it is goosrhat ypu put the subtitles at all, and ppl should be thannkful regardless. Most of us know who hes and she's are here. If the audience can't tell a Silverback us a henot a she they jabe problems, not you. If people are nasty , block them. Thank you for the videos.​@pamcunningham9608

[@kimbalfre3759]

Whoever writes the comments on these wonderful videos should watch their language. Children might read them. “Pissed off” is considered a profanity by some.

[@TheFlashyWeasel]

In today's language issues, that's nothing compared to other colorful metaphors I've read.

[@MySkinnydip]

@@TheFlashyWeaselAbsolutely!🙋🏽

[@eaglesflyproud]

⁠@@TheFlashyWeaselhave never seen it described as such “Colorful Metaphors”. I like it.

[@MySkinnydip]

@@eaglesflyproud Heyfriend! No problem! I have received your messages so far! I had a problem with my carrier ATT regarding the cyber attack. I couldn’t log into IG or FB. Really strange! But no I didn’t get the video link of Winston troop but I will check again🙂

"mad to him"Shabani it's a male not a female

[@robertcharpentier6852]

No gorillas should be captured and incarcerated in zoos. Gorillas, both mountain and lowland species, are endangered and capturing them for zoos is HORRIBLE AND INHUMANE! STOP IT!!!

[@theresam.1899]

They are becoming endangered in the wild, too many wars and loss of habitat, and poachers are taking a toll on lowland and mountain gorillas.

[@joe_668]

mountain gorillas are not being kept in the zoos because they are not resilient enough to survive excellent zoo conditions including nice cages and best cement floors you can get. ironically, they are the ones on the brink of extinction.

[@JaDaddy2438]

It's time for Kiyo to leave before Shabani hurts him for real
