I’m setting here next to the best and most handsome man I’ve ever had the privilege to know. My husband had a stroke last month and now he’s in a rehab facility. He can’t walk in his short-term memory is horrible. He is getting better though slowly but surely and I show him the videos of all of my favorite gorilla troops, and it just brings a smile to his face, which makes me so happy. I’ll even ask him do you remember this troops name some he gets right off the bat some I gotta help a little bit but that’s OK. It’s a beautiful day. I’m taking for a walk. Well, he’s in a wheelchair, but doesn’t matter we’re going to get outside and we’re going to enjoy the sunlight 😊😊😊

Enjoy a beautiful day - best wishes to you both ^^

May he recover 10xs as strong 🌹

シャバーニは、ほんとカッコいいです

[@justbreathe_]

😂😂Ai was like “absolutely not” I hope Shabani and Momotaro have more children. They are too beautiful to only have 2 each.

[@davidbrodsky8191]

When did the silverback show off his strength?

[@Simon-gc6uf]

Looks like Shabani is going to have to put another beat down on his son to keep him in place. The zoo is failing in its duty of care to these animals. They had plenty of time to plan since the moment Kiyo was born.... 11 years and they've done nothing....

[@kelly00000111111]

i imagine that this is going to happen sooner than later - also i have noticed some recent looking wounds on shabani on his face - signs of them fighting not captured on camera?

[@eddiemaiden2664]

Yeah. Moving these very social animals is tricky and requires time and planning but the zoo doesn't seem to have either Leaving the 2 males together NOW will quickly turn into a disaster and they will both get injured In the wild Kiyo would move on to forn his own family but in captivity he is forced to challenge the big guy for a chance to mate In his own enclosure with a group of females and no other silverback he doesn't have to challenge anyone

[@10zin_kh]

Both dad and son are in heat, and Shabani never forcefully pursues AI, which is good but works against him. Kiyo on other hand is very persistent. Hopefully Shabani and AI can mate soon.

[@luvcats120]

Would be nice, but I wouldn’t count on it. Ai doesn’t seem to be interested in mating, period, in my opinion.

[@sandraphillips1718]

Nene is just trying to stay out of everyone's way.😊

[@skeeter3310]

Bless her heart ❤️

[@TheFlashyWeasel]

Ai appears to care less, about the drumming, lol

[@xxNinjaclanxx-id9rs]

Shabani, your strength is very impressive!😍💙💪

[@joegaito702]

Love the moves they have excellent body posture they are very smart and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from them we laugh and learn and benefit from the gorillas thanks take her out to dinner or something she would be very impressed love you guys thanks stay safe and warm out there way to go !!! Joe 😅😅😊

[@maryharris2629]

Shabani & Kiyomasa are best friends. Shabani looks forward to playing with Kiyomasa almost daily. Kiyomasa is the only one giving Shabani affection. The females would do anything for Kiyomasa. But Shabani can't even get a hug!

[@koookimama]

シャバーニは発情期ですね。この前アイちゃんにアピールしてる時、ぷんぷん匂ってました😍 頑張れシャバーニ！！

[@SomethingAboutGorillas]

あの匂い、好きです☺️

[@sandraphillips1718]

Kiyo needs his own wife.😊

[@user-jb8pu5wb9b]

Good morning to the family

[@user-pi9bx6xw4h]

シャバーニとハオコ兄弟には、新しい奥さんがいたらいいな。 この兄弟の遺伝子をもっと増やすべき😆

[@kenitchy5022]

01:48 Nene😅😅

[@flaviablanco8245]

KIYO please be nice care Nene please 🦍💙🦍❤️

[@birgitdeppe6742]

Kiyo doesn't get it. But neither does Ai.

[@stevemorris6790]

Shabani kept trying to but Ai didn’t cooperate!

[@infinitejest441]

It’s so sad to see these intelligent animals living in a prison. They should be in a natural sanctuary for their mental and physical wellbeing. ❤🦍

[@TJScruffi]

I wonder if they have a large pool of water for the gorillas. Having some large beach balls, and other large items for them to play with would keep them from getting bored.

[@maryharris2629]

Hope they adapt your great idea!

[@user-ld6pb3jj7l]

Энни хромает?

[@sonjavandam1306]

This troop looks on edge, something has & or will happen. No one looks happy, i hope it's only a bump in the road. 🌟✨

[@TheNorma1957]

Food! Food is all they want right now. My dog paces and wanders just before a meal. Same time everyday,just like clockwork

[@ChristineCole-kl4vu]

Does anyone know for sure if Ai and Annie are on birth control or not?

[@pamelaspain1602]

Annie & Genaro can be mates. They are not blood related.

[@maryharris2629]

A couple months ago, they were talking about sending Gentaro overseas

[@traceyleewalker7246]

What’s wrong with Annie’s foot?

[@SomethingAboutGorillas]

She's very healthy.

[@user-nj9bw8dv7o]

I so wish the gorilla's couldn't hear the airplane's, that fly over them. The noise is not good for them. I think the unnatural sounds may cause them to feel anxious. They deserve better area's, where they can hear bird's and the noise of what they would hear in the jungle. I really care about their care. What is in their best interest. ❤️🙏

[@irmamehnert7277]

Where are those gorilas at??????????

[@chasepaul99pc]

Ye ol stink finger goes a long way lol

[@ninawest8]

In another year they will be even harder to tell apart

[@she.around]

Was this video of today ? i swear this was of a few weeks ago . because shabani has been very stern with kiyo did that change from yesterday to today ?

[@SomethingAboutGorillas]

It was a week ago. I cannot go to the zoo every day because I have a day job. Please understand.

[@she.around]

@@SomethingAboutGorillas i fully understand , i was just wondering thank you so much for the response 🙏🏼♥️🦍 i appreciate the videos that i have grown to love this troop from 🌹🤞🏼

[@stevemorris6790]

Shabani deserves another female!

[@tamaramorton8812]

Those poor, poor gorillas, having to live like this. I know that being able to see them increases our awareness of them as a species and results in better choices for those who live in a natural environment but it’s still terrible to watch them here.

[@onefeather2]

All these animals do is pace back and forth, they live in a hard concert enclosure with a small outdoor space. 😢😢😢

[@grokeffer6226]

🦍🦍🦍❤❤❤

[@princevalantino41162]

That male looks bored, why don't the zoo owners start leaving educational type toys,puzzles and other complex learning aids for these magnificent creatures, surely that would delight the crowds and help those inquisitive minds
