About a Gorilla Girl Raised By Human & a Silverback | Annie & Shabani | Higashiyama Zoo

[@nella88]

Annie is so lucky that shabani & kiyomasa love her so much.

[@glynisakabonniekenzie7664]

Thank you Something About Gorillas. With the love and protection from Shabani and the friendship of playmate Kiyo, Annie has grown to be a strong confident gorilla girl. After complications giving birth to Annie it is understandable that Ai does not know that Annie is her daughter, Ai has always been kind to Annie in a big sister way.

[@luciadonini2059]

❤️ Shabani ha una personalità fuori dal comune ed ha un cuore grande, sa istintivamente che entrambi sono figli suoi, quindi pronto a difenderli e amarli, ha sempre e comunque gesti amorevoli nei confronti di tutti i membri della sua famiglia, e quando sbaglia cerca sempre di scusarsi. È una famiglia meravigliosa e Shabani è sicuramente unico e speciale. Meravigliosi! ❤️

[@katewaterbaby]

The hilarious play between Annie and Kiyomasa and Shabani is always so touching and loving and bonkers fun!

[@millenialsmom2214]

Gentaro, another 10 year-old gorilla, at the zoo in Kyoto was also hand reared like Annie. They are the same age and might make a wonderful couple. They are both very playful.

[@winterweib]

I pray that will never happen. Gentaro is the worst Gorilla I ever saw, besides that other rap.ist I just forgot name. He is mean. Annie deserves a peaceful life. Someone even said Gentaro is gay. That would make so much sense! He should live in a bachelor group, with males which can fight back. It is a torture for females to put such a nasty animal into the enclosure. In the wild they would leave. Here they have to suffer.

[@kimhaveman3628]

@@winterweib are you serious. Male gorillas go through a “punk” stage from about 10-18 where their testosterone is out of control. Have you watched him with his baby brother. He is amazing. To call a gorilla that is ridiculous. These are gorillas not humans and unless you are an expert to say things like you said is just irresponsible and horrible. So disgusting!

[@eaglesflyproud]

@@kimhaveman3628 Viewer Winterweib has been watching the Momotaro troop for years and is well known as a Gentaro hater. This latest comment posted is typical for this viewer.

[@kimhaveman3628]

@@eaglesflyproud thank you for letting me know. Her ridiculous comments were really pissing me off. Gentaro is an amazing young silverback who is going to make an exceptional father one day!

[@eaglesflyproud]

@@kimhaveman3628 anytime Kim. These types of comments from so called 🦍 lovers (same with the derogatory ones written about Tayari from the D’Jeeco troop) upset me also. As I previously stated that viewer winterweib (there’re a few others) has been at it for years and is well known for her hateful nasty comments. I agree wholeheartedly Gentaro is going to be an excellent Silverback and if given the opportunity a terrific father as well. ❤️🦍

Oh precious daddy's girl! I love gorillas, with their beautiful heart shaped noses. I'm almost sure God made them like that keeping in mind they are angels. So big but quite gentle.

[@nadi.bigudi]

[@lydiemeuer5514]

Vielen Dank für das schöne Video meine Tochter hat mir die Geschichte von Annie erzählt .Shabani ist ein super Vater und dazu ein schöne Silverback es ist schön zusehen wie gut sich Annie entwickelt .Dss sie wieder bei ihrer Familie ist. 🦍❤

[@maryeddy4871]

Annie had a hard beginning but thanks to her protective & wonderful Father, Shabani and her doting older Brother, Kiyomasa, Annie is now a confident, strong, kind hearted & a Beautiful Gorilla Girl who I feel will be a great Mother one day. Annie is very special and I hope she is matched with a sweet and playful Silverback & females one day. I wish this Beautiful Annie every happiness in her future and cannot wait to see where she goes and hope her life is full of joy, peace and love. Thank you for sharing this video and information. Many adore this Precious Gorilla Girl and have the highest hopes for her future. Be safe and thanks again! ;-)

[@JimDiBattista]

Very nice Mary. Wouldn't you love to see her and Gentaro matched up? Two Gorillas near the same age and both were reared by human hands and both have adapted well and are beautiful Gorillas. Especially Genatro, I think he is the most handsome in all of Japan. His features are so evenly divided, left and right sides of his face-flawless.

[@tamarahorn1506]

@@JimDiBattista I agree, I would love it if those 2 hit it off. Gentaro is gorgeous isn't he. It's wonderful to watch him maturing before our eyes.

[@maryeddy4871]

@@JimDiBattista , Thank you for the kind reply. They do have a lot in common, I didn't even think of the fact that they were both hand reared by humans then returned to their family. ;-) Maybe Gentaro can teach Annie his smooth Dance steps with his favorite female Keeper! Imagine them both doing his funny Hop, clap & giggle moves with their new Keeper and then teaching their babies those smooth moves! LOL! I agree! Gentaro is a beautiful Boy! I love his soft and soulful eyes. Annie is Beautiful and together they would make adorable Babies. They are both sensitive and kind but love affection and play time. Hopefully they will be matched. Time will tell. I also hope the other females in their troop will be kind.Gentaro will loving females doting on him. He will be the "Silverback-Stud" and loving life! LOL! Take care! ;-)

[@maryeddy4871]

@@tamarahorn1506 i think Gentaro hit puberty. All those hormones in his little body and mostly Testosterone must be making him challenge Dad and Mom now. He will be a beautiful Silverback soon and a wonderful partner and father! Gentaro has a heart like a child. I hope he keeps some of that sweet playful nature into the future. He is very special. ;-)

[@dudadossantos3646]

Annie ❤💛 e tão fofa. Shabani e um líder muito diferente do outros ele é muito brincalhão e protetor com sua amada annie. Não sei se nene odeia a annie mesmo.

[@consuelogm4838]

Un gustazo de ver a SHABANI con sus hijos. Creo que SHABANI si reconoce a su hija,solo hay que ver las imágenes de las visitas que le hacía.La emoción y el nerviosismo de verla junto a él en la habitación, con ganas de abrazarla,de tocarla, de olerla.La protección que le dio cuando fue atacada por NENE: muy rápido y firme. SHABANI el gorila que es todo un padrazo,busca a sus hijos para jugar y los provoca para que jueguen con el.Interactua muchísimo con todo el grupo.💖💖💖🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘👌👌

[@A1PrimeTimeMovies]

@@JimDiBattista my reply was to winterweib. Not Cassia.

[@JimDiBattista]

I know and so was mine. One big mistake that we humans make a lot is we project our morals and way of feeling about their behavior as if the gorillas were humans. Which is what winterweib was doing in calling Gentaro a bully

Annie has Ai's eye areas, who has Nene's eye areas. Not sure about the eye itself as it's hard to tell. Annie has Shabani's everything else when it comes to face.

[@paulineleung5980]

Annie was raised by human when was a child, the best thing is father Shabani was able to accept her first and often protect her always. Nene was more cautious about her granddaughter because she also had baby Kiyo at the time. It was because she care the son to attacked Anni. And many fans also criticize Nene a lot. I think that Nene itself should not be blamed. Not every gorilla can accept artificially raised babies into the family. She also had a baby at the time, so she was more wary of outsiders.

This video says Annie is the first gorilla reintroduced in Japan, I thought that was Gentaro, as he was born in 2011

[@A1PrimeTimeMovies]

Thought the same

[@大谷-n7d]

Agree. Once upon a time, I asked an enthusiastic fan of the Shabani family about it. Gentaro →the first child to return to Gorilla's parents in Japan Annie →the first child to return to Gorilla's group (parents + other children, females) The fan said there was such a difference in meaning.

[@marcfrish9169]

Beautiful, AWESOME BEINGS! ITS TOO BAD THEY LOOK LIKE THERES NO PURPOSE FOR LIVING! BEING COOPED UP, NOT BEING ABLE TO GO WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE IS DIBILITATING , ESPECIALLY TO BEINGS SO CLOSE TO OUR OWN LIKENESS. ALTHOUGH I REALIZE ITS NOT SAFE FOR THEM OUT IN THE OPEN , BUT IM QUITE SURE US HUMANS COULD DESIGNATE A LARGE ENOUGH PLACE WHERE THEY COULD LIVE FREE & SAFE , THE WORLD IS A VERY LARGE PLACE, & PLENTY OF ROOM TO DESIGNATE AN AREA FOR THE WILDLIFE THATS SAFE FOR THEM
