Toddler Gorilla Who Recovered From The Worst Period | Kintaro | Kyoto Zoo

[@gailrossholland6149]

They looked so sad. Dad is supposed to be the super hero. He can't get sick. Thank goodness he got well. Genki held it down for him. This is a wonderful video. Thank you. The music was well chosen. BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!

[@arthurkonarski8501]

I ve seen hundreds gorillas vids and only thing is sure for me-LITTLE KINTARO IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GORILLAS INFANT THAT I EVER SEEN !!! :-))))!

[@nursenightengale7519]

I am sooo in love with this family. I'm an RN and always wanted to be a vet, I'm 45yes old, I CUD retire just caring for and watching these magnificent blessings. Thx for sharing these vids!! ❤️❤️

[@paulroberts7429]

very inspiring story, shows wonderfully how a great loving silver back and his family love and cherish one and other, thanks for the wonderful upload. thanks to the zoo for there care.

[@katewaterbaby]

This was a so so sad and scary time for them, for us. Tears of joy running down my cheeks watching the tenderness between Momo and Kinny.

[@cameliad3522]

This year the end of summer has been emotional for all admirers of this very beautiful family. We feared many things and hoped for their recovery. After watching that hard period I became more attached to them :) I wish Kintaro a wonderful 3rd birthday. Grow well handsome boy! :D

[@jillking5876]

What a wonderful video showing what was a terrifying time it was for the boys when dad Momo was sick. This illness really shook their world. Dad can't be sick! It was definitely not surprising that the illness affected the boys, but I was really grateful that Genki was able to keep everything together for them during Momo's illness. It's wonderful seeing Momo and Kintaro smiling, hugging, and playing, now that Momo was feeling better. Gentaro seemed to be worst hit by the illness of his dad (AKA superhero). I am so grateful that the family was able to overcome what was a truly unsettling time for the boys. Thanks for such a wonderful video, and Happy Birthday, Kintaro!

[@susanawhitfield9664]

So beautiful to see papa Momo healthy and loving his baby son, Kintaro.

[@lynngold1865]

It was very scary for both the boys and us commenters and the keepers.So grateful to the ZOO'S VETS& KEEPERS who helped Momotaro& this family get healthy& thrive once again.God bless each and everyone of them.HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LIL BRIGHT EYES!💙🦍💙😉

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KINTARO. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO LOVELY MUSIC AND OH HOW I REMEMBER AUGUST. BLESSED THAT THEY ARE WELL

[@dabooser1048]

I remember seeing video of Gentaro and Kintaro so lethargic. Kintaro looked so miserable laying around or clinging to his mom. I was so happy to see the family all recover.

[@sandybird5785]

I think u should not ship gentaro out ,genki has had enough heart ache in her life. I believe it would shorten her life Many you could bring little Annie over to live with them ,I believe genki would tolerate her. If not then I guess you r between a hard place and a rock. I think genki could never adapt to losing her son.see if Annie will do ok in that family. I am more worried about Annie having a baby,u know genki thinks every baby should be hers.

[@breadandcircus1]

Happy 3rd Birthday adorable little angel Kintaro. You're the joy of your family, loved by thousands of people around the world. I love you, little Kintaro :)

[@yvonnejones9940]

Watching this again for millionth time. Still brings tears to my eyes. That was such a difficult time. From about 6:00 on, Kintaro and Gentaro look like their going to burst with happiness being back together and playing with dad. I think this is the most at peace and pleased I've seen Momo, surrounded by his boys, and knowing Genki's got his back.

[@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts]

Yes I still tear up when I see them so down ❤

[@dianakaczynski721]

OMG I remember this oh so well I was crying 😢 I thought I was gonna die from worry I’m very serious! It was a horrible scary time for the family I couldn’t bare the thoughts of losing any of them.

[@wernervannuffel2608]

Beautifull video about an emotional time and showing us how close bounded gorillas are. Kintaro is full of happiness to be again near and in the arms of his father and shows his love for his father. Very emotional video. Thank you.

[@itallia666]

It still amazes me that these magnificent primates with an incredible stature, strength & agility & brains, live only on vegetables & green grasses, bark & leaves!!! Ive been vegetarian for a long time & have to say im extremely fit & healthy in my late 60s Ive no weight problems, my skin is very good & my brain faculties are as sharp now as ever they were if not sharper, my memory is faultless & i attribute my healthy mind & body down to lots of salad & i love my veggies so much, grains & pulses, green drinks, fruit at all times Even the Elephant is vegetarian & what a size they are & intelligent & loving with each other. Any of the meat eating primates including humans show the same aggressive & hostile behaviours To their own young & to each other. I think the Macaque monkeys or snow monkeys & the Chimps are among the worst parents & fellow pack members Long Live Momotaro, Genki, Gentaro & Kintaro I love love love your videos 👧🇬🇧

Sweet babies were mourning their Daddy not being there. Most likely confused and unsure of what was going on. So sweet, yet heartbreaking to see them like that at the same time. They love their Daddy. 💜💜

At 5:30 to 6:30, it’s so heartwarming to see Kintaro playing and being cuddled by his dad. I laughed when Kintaro spun in circles in front of Momotaro. He was obviously feeling happy, and Momotaro looked so contented.

I feel so privileged to be able to watch these awesome creature that our Creator has gifted us with. The caregivers and volunteers, the whole team are so blessed to be able to work and care for these animals. If I could start my life over again I would dedicate my life to care for these beautiful animals. Thank you for providing us with a wonderful glance into the lives of these beautiful animals. I sit a watch these videos for hours. I'm getting on in years and can't do too much these days but watching the gorilla's and chimps always brighten up my life every time I watch them. May our Creator bless all of your team. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for share the history, nice video to remember

[@gorillabff1003]

Momotaro’s illness was a terrible time but the outcome is that he’s now fully part of the family. It brought them all together. Before it always seemed like three (Genki, Gentaro, Kintaro) and Momotaro watching over them, usually from the beams, staying apart, protecting them from the white hats and any other perceived enemies, but seldom integrating. Now he’s fully in with his family and it’s wonderful to see. It’s like Momotaro understands his importance in his group now and he’s embracing it. He’s maturing wonderfully and developing loving, tender relationships with his sons and I’m so happy he survived to blossom as he’s been doing lately with his family 🦍♥️

[@ninawest8]

That was such a SCARY time for the family...See how important the family dynamic is. I sincerely hope they keep them all together for a while yet to come. A shifting of couples should be able to keep them happy for a while longer. If Gentaro gets to hanzy with mama then just let them out at different times and mix and match the family like other zoo's have done to prolong their time together. Maybe you can suggest that idea to them or us followers can suggest it to them on their Instagram site as they read the zoo reads those comments

[@sunflowers8508]

That never occurred to me, to keep Gentaro separate if needed. I saw the San Diego do that with Frank lol, not sure why it didn't come to me 😆

[@ninawest8]

Yup, Frank was exactly who I was thinking of too...Wise minds think alike...lol😉

[@loutondacoast]

Towards the end of the video you see Momotaro return to the enclosure. The sense I get from watching him sitting in his little boxy is one of sadness. Not sad to see his boys and Genki again, but just the sadness of having to return to the eternal life stuck in that one place. He must realise by now there is more than that outside the four walls he's been confined to for the rest of his life. The poor fellow is totally bored out of his mind. You can see him looking around just thinking, what am I doing stuck here. It's a shame, but that's how it goes. At least he's getting the best of care from the keepers at Kyoto, but there is only so much they can do to keep his mind stimulated. Out in a Gorillas natural environment, the silverback would be directing his family through the bush hunting for new sources of food and water. He'd be keeping his mind very active trying to remember where all these places were at various times of the seasons. He'd be totally protecting his wife and boys from any threats made by other rouge silverbacks. He'd fight them to the death if he had to. Therefore he would have a feeling of purpose in his life, a very responsible job looking after the troop and making sure they had all the greenery and fresh water they needed. Exploring different places, different places to see, and different challenges every day. You can see that Momotaro has nothing of that, nothing whatsoever to stimulate his mind. Poor bloke. They'll be O.K. !!!

Momo san’s illness was really worrying during the period, and this illness also reflects his influence on the whole family. This is because the zoo would not have imagined that his two sons would be affected so much by him, so even now Gentaro Has entered the age of an adult gorilla, because the family's influence on him, the zoo has not yet decided how to arrange his plan to leave his own family. But anyway today’s is my lovely and cute baby Kintaro birthday 🥳🎉🎊, 🙏🏻 wish you heathy 💪🏻 and happy 😆 forever.

That is nice! But they are bornnin captuvity since generations. It cannot happen. You and me would not be able to survive between hunters, may it be humans, may it be big cats. Without medicine against poisoned snake bites or poisoned blood. Etc etc. And we can communicate, or think about alternatives. They have to stay :( But we can wish them better enclosures! As I always say, purs in Berlin are so lovely; they shall build such. And then our sweet froends can ENJOY they lives, while lying in wonderful long green grass, looking up to the leaves of those old trees or climb nto them, enjoy the quiteness and eat their favorite fruits. This would be so so nice!
