I notice that quite often before Kiyomasa displays he first looks around to see if his two bodyguards are following him. It almost reminds me of a gang. I feel so sorry that the others are cutting out Shabani. It doesn’t seem right. I wish Shabani would show everyone in his troop that he’s the real silverback.

[@staypeace5955]

Other troops stay far from their silverback because they respect and fear him. But these troops are bastards. Two annoyed females who can't even be a good mother and wife plot with a spoiled son against silver back. Just watch this channel for Shabani and Annie.

[@walliegoolsby5389]

What’s going to happen when Kiyomasa leaves the troop? He won’t have his bodyguards by his side to defend him. His mother and sister and Annie will miss him greatly.

[@grandmap3389]

Shabani and his brothers went through this same thing growing up, I'm sure he is doing what his wonderful father did for him. Shabani wasn't much older that Kiyomasa when he got his new troop because he kept challenging his father. Shabani father taught his sons to love and also when enough is enough, Shabani is slow to anger but will reach a breaking point, I'm sure the staff will know when to remove Kiyomasa for his own safety and the safe of the rest of the troop. I hope Kiyomasa finds his own troop soon because Shabani is a good Silverback, I also hope Annie finds her own place maybe Gentaro and Annie can start a troop. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Isn’t there anyone at this Zoo who understand what is going on here? Kiyomasa needs to leave the group at once. Hè is transforming Into a blackback, the phase before being a silverback .In the wild he will either walk away or be chased away by his father. They will only meet again to fight for dominance . What is happening in this zoo is against nature and will continue in fierce fights.

[@alexk9295]

Does it ever happen in the wild where the silverback is chased away from the group by a blackback supported by the females?

[@staypeace5955]

​@@alexk9295I don't think so. Silver back in the wild must be wilder and bolder. Black backs will leave their troops to start his own family as soon as possible. And if the females aren't happy with their silver back they will leave the troops to find another silverback.

[@joe_668]

in the zoo silverbacks' role is cut down to only producing offspring so they tend to become much softer than they could've been in the wild. so it is not surprising that male adolecents start to feel bolder and try to challenge them. it's up to the zoo to determine and sort out these situations but unfortunately these ones are Japanese zoos.

[@PaulJansen1972]

@@alexk9295 yes it sometimes occurs. When a son is chased away by its father, he sometimes will follow the group from a distance waiting for a moment to chase his father. There is a famous silverback called Titus who chased his son Kuriyama away from the group. Eventually there erupted a fight between father and son. After some fights the group spitted up, half of the group supported Kuriyama as their leader and the other half supported Titus. The story continues with lots of intrigue. A tv soap avant la lettre.

[@karenthompson8151]

Yes this a sad situation but what we think is a terrible feud is actually normal for a gorilla troop with a growing blackback. He will challenge his father it’s instinct and his father will have to be the silverback he has been taught to be. Shabani loves his family and it’s quite obvious he does not want to escalate any further situations but he will by no means back down from Kiyo. The females will protect the weaker one when needed that is their instincts. My hopes are that this family can come together again soon since we really don’t know the plan for Kiyo. Maybe this will encourage the zoo along with an over the sea zoo to work together to get Kiyo separated and in a bachelor group. That would be idea but odds are will not happen. Shabani will do all he can to hold back and not physically hurt any member of this family cause we all know what he is actually capable of. The dynamics are changing it was a matter of time kiyo is growing up and will be a wonderful silverback

Then at the same time Kiyomasa and all the testosterone running around. Shabani is doing everything he can not to hurt anyone troop member especially Kiyomasa that’s his baby boy and he loves to play with Kiyo. Ai will always be right up Nene a$$ and follow her in anything she does 😡😡😡😡, (that makes me very mad) but I also know the alpha female is the top dog to all the other troop members.. And when Nene pushes that’s when Kiyo. displays and then Ai right there Shabani tries to use his massive body to stopping the display of Kiyo’s dominance. Annie stays back from grandma and mum, In my opinion she will always have Shabani’s back honestly I think she ready to take grandma down at any given moment.. you can see Annie still doesn’t trust Nene in anyway whatsoever.. Shabani isn’t scared of anyone in his troop he just wants his family troop to stay it has always been,, But with Kiyo becoming a silverback himself and wanting his own troop it will only calm down for a minute then right back at it..

Based on the way Shabani treated Nene, he probably thought she was trouble. Also, maybe Shabani blamed Nene for controlling Ai.

The longer I watched I could see all three females circling Kiyomasa. I think Shabani may feel left out and maybe ganged up on. He needs to assert himself with the girls. But Kiyo is just getting to that age…😅😊

シャバーニは優秀なゴリラだが、その慈悲心が彼をダメにしてしまった。シャバーニの雌を恐れるな、人間とゴリラは血縁関係にあるとしても、彼らにも罰を与えなければならない、あなたはまだ自然の本能を持っている

[@lyndamac1058]

I feel sorry for Nene she just can't relax with all the tension. I am worried if Shabani gets out of control angry he will really hurt one of them but it's interesting he is avoiding his son and almost scared of him.

[@leticiacirio2743]

He is not afraid of it, that is how a Silverback acts, he restrains himself, and he is using his patience. The maturity of silverbacks leads them to that attitude when there is a serious problem. They use great control of emotions.

shabani is definitely not scared of his son kiyo 😂 he doesn’t want to hurt his son but wow u honestly think a silverback shabani is actually scared of his black back son 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kells1784]

Shabani isn't scared of him. Silverbacks only approach to fight. Shabani doesn't need to hover over Kiyo to show dominance. Kiyo is scared, but he is trying to act like he isn't with his display. Hence him running away from Shabani! Shabani knows his power and could kill Kiyo (hope not), so he definitely isn't scared. Shabani could lift or throw up to 815kg. He is showing restraint, and it will only last so long.

[@staypeace5955]

Kiyo is a coward but Shabani will always be a good father. That's why it's so sad to see him and Annie stuck with these trouble maker gorillas.

[@NWAbadger]

It's nene who causes most the fights

[@racheleastwood5588]

Nene is just watching out for her son, nothing wrong with that at all. The magnificent Kibabu wouldn't stand for this scenario so not sure why Shabani is sadly.

Non sono più padre e figlio ma due maschi adulti !!!! 🚨

[@beachaar]

HOW COME EVERY SINGLE TIME HE STARTS CRAP WITH ANOTHER MONKEY, HE RUNS OFF LIKE A COWARD?!?!? THAT ONLY PROVES THAT HE CAN’T HANDLE THINGS WITHOUT TURNING AROUND AND RUNNING….
