Silverback Gorilla Trying To Mend Fences With His Son | The Shabani Group

#Gorilla #Shabani #Kiyomasa
Higashiyama Zoo on April 25, 2024.
A few days have passed since Shabani and his son Kiyomasa had a quarrel.
Today, Shabani and Kiyomasa made up and had fun playing with each other.
It was very hilarious to see Shabani checking out Kiyomasa's buttocks.
The other gorillas must be relieved that Shabani and Kiyomasa have made up.
It was a good day.

Shabani can sometimes be a prankster, but he's always a peacemaker with his family.

[@user-on4uj6ri4r]

Shabani should write MoMo a letter on how to mellow out some 😂🇺🇸😂🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@pamelaspain1602]

I feel sorry for Momotaro’s Troop. They live in such a small space compared to Shabani, Haoko, & D’Jeeko & their troops

[@tuckergraham846]

Totally agree 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tuckergraham846]

Kiyomasa luvs his dad 👍👍👍

[@infinitejest441]

Shabani is a good dad and mate ❤

[@marbear4273]

I have been waiting for you to show that Gibbon making that noise 👍

[@grokeffer6226]

Kyo is having growing pains. Shabani understands. 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍❤

[@Kiowa371]

Peace prevails. On to the next chapter ❤ Thanks for showing the Gibbon! I’ve been wanting to see that little rascel.

[@sonjavandam1306]

Still some tension in the troop but beautiful Shabani was trying to make amends. He is on gaurd & keeping an eye 👁️👁️ on everyone.👀

[@stevemorris6790]

Shabani is a great father!

[@sonjavandam1306]

The best dad.😊

[@kelly00000111111]

shabani was quite "vocal" and active today. its nice to see him express himself with the drumming and more interestingly, banging on the zoo doors, glass, etc. something he doesnt do all that often it seems. nice to see him give kiyo a helping hand (things did get a bit "cheeky" there for a second lol)🤣

[@sonjavandam1306]

" Cheeky" 😂

[@joegaito702]

We laugh and learn and benefit from the gorillas thanks they are very smart and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from them they make good parents and grandparents god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to love you guys thanks stay safe and warm out there way to go very impressed !!!

07:27 キヨマサと場所の取り合いをするアニー、面白い🤣❤

[@user-on4uj6ri4r]

Yes ,definitely a silverback with class 🤙

[@klmoll]

I never get tired of Shabani drumming and his leg kick!

[@Balletcalvero]

That gibbon's call came straight out of "A Goofy Movie"

[@Mr.MidKnight]

Definitely a mighty but patient animal. We could learn a thing or two from the shabani group. A lot of people label our cousins as monsters or beasts. Those "beasts" are closer to us than you might believe.

[@pigtailsandteddybears]

Beautifully said, Batman (who laughs). ;) Yep. I edited it. 😌

[@--AE--]

They might be your cousins, but they aren’t mine 😂. My ancestors were never beasts.

[@pigtailsandteddybears]

@@--AE-- I don't think Batman (who laughs) meant that we are literally related by blood or that they were our ancestors. It's just that their dna is remarkably around 98% (give or take) the same as ours. That's why they are often referred to as our long lost 'cousins' by several people, especially specialists. That's where I first saw the term.

[@Mr.MidKnight]

@@--AE-- they are genetically, go ahead and denounce our heritage. IDC, at least @pigtailsandteddybears understands. Lol

[@Mr.MidKnight]

@@pigtailsandteddybears and it's the Batman who laughs, lol. Huge difference, I ai generated that photo.

[@muriel7100]

Magnifiques familles ❤

[@Ringo.2021]

Shabani says sorry son 😢😭

[@lm9991]

It seems like Kyomasa was totally submitting to his dad - I've seen Gentaro bend over like that after a spat and to me it looks like he is saying you definitely are the boss. But Shabani seemed to me to still be asserting he is the boss and don't forget it with Kyo, but I could be wrong. When they are totally peaceful they seem more relaxed. Looks like they were hungry for their breakfast and lunch today. Thanks for the video! 🙂

[@koookimama]

仲直りしたんですね😄よかった！よかった！ 息子が、アニーちゃんの夢をみたと。 そろそろ、息子と一緒に動物園行きたいけど、土日になりそうなので激混みですよね😅 あー、ゆっくりみたい！！

[@pigtailsandteddybears]

Awww! Maybe you can go right before it opens? If I know a place may be crowded on a weekend, I usually will leave an hour or 2 before it opens. (like I used to do at Disneyland on a weekend for example) Even though I know waking up super early on a weekend isn't fun, trust me. 🤭 Annie would be soooooo excited though! I can't imagine how much she misses him. Hope you both can make it!❤

[@koookimama]

​@@pigtailsandteddybears Thank you😊 My son told me that he met Annie in his dream. It's been a while since I've been there, so I'm looking forward to seeing Annie come here.

[@SomethingAboutGorillas]

今日は、開園前は大混雑でした😅 土日は激混み必死でしょうね😩

[@klmoll]

Take her! ❤

[@sylvie2519]

Shabani is awesome. Full of love and fun and cares for his family. Oh yes. I heard two Gibbons. One sounds like a man yelling. When I turn on the gorilla videos I know I am on the Shabani page when I hear those neighbors of his. I saw Shabani one time look up and give them a scowl. You can't pick your neighbors.

[@annemariemcnamara8756]

Kiyomasas hormones have to be all over the place, he starts to bother the females an then his energy is bothersome to the rest of family, but Shabani was stalking Kiyo not sure if Kiyo was scenting. He’s a goofy rambunctious adolescent an you can’t help loving him an his dad

[@kaijuanimation1117]

the beginning caught me off gaurd

[@CherokeeJackson]

Nene is really appearing to be fragile!

[@AustinBunyard]

What is the white mark on shanbanis face

[@SomethingAboutGorillas]

Scratches. ☺️

[@KenyattaJarrell]

That's how animals show affection by smelling each other butts. Cats do it and dogs do. Smell each other but all animals do that it's funny you can tell they have feeling s I love these garrillas so much

[@nutterbuttz7515]

Can anyone tell me where is the water they drink located?

[@kelly00000111111]

there's a pool of 'fresh' water outside near the ledge leading to the lower area of the enclosure, and there are a couple of implements that pump out water in the inside areas of the exhibit. i remember asking about this once and was told by multiple people that they get plenty of water from the vegetables that they eat. i personally find that hard to believe

[@klmoll]

@@kelly00000111111why do you find that hard to believe? The zoo staff take good care of the Shabani family.

[@kelly00000111111]

@@klmoll im not saying they dont take care of them particularly well, i just dont know how much i believe about getting all they hydration they need just from veggies.

[@KenyattaJarrell]

Feed them please

[@user-pl6xf7bs9t]

Shabani needs another woman.

[@klmoll]

Easy to say, not that easy to do.

[@mikebon8352]

Bored to death, no exploration, no challenges.. Zoo's should be forbidden...

[@luvcats120]

😭😭😭

[@klmoll]

Sorry, I disagree…when zoos were bad ( I’m 70), that’s something to discuss historically. For everyone worried about animals in zoos..remember for most in captivity, there is nowhere safe to release them. They are in a breeding program as natural as humans can achieve, which I admit, depending on the country, isn’t always natural or beneficial to the troop. But instead of complaining about animals IN captivity, spend your energy fixing the poaching and habitat loss in the native areas this animal would and should be thriving in. The rangers do what they can to protect them but the demand for gorilla hands and heads (folk magic) and their bushmeat is really bad. It’s sickening. They are diminishing rapidly in the wild. Mostly due to humans. Surprise! The cousin to these gorillas are the mountain gorillas. There are two groups, totaling 1,063 individuals. Babies are born every four to five years because nature set up the mother to care for the baby until about 4 years old. So with that reproduction rate, it’s not looking good for the mountain gorillas. And they have to have a mountain habitat in Africa, so we can’t save their species like we can with lowland gorillas, like D’Jeeco’s family, or Shabani’s family, or Momotaro’s family. I understand your passion. Perhaps think about what is critical? The poaching and destruction of their habitat is something you can act on. Be active, research the truth, help support the rangers who try to keep gorillas from being killed for their heads and hands, or infants, and also their habitat from being destroyed by humans in Africa, there’s opportunities there! Help there if you love gorillas or any endangered Animals. Yes, with a capital A. ☮️💜🦍
