Oh no...Momotaro looks unwell. He seems sluggish and doesn't have that usual spark in his eyes. It's never a good sign when even the keeper can't entice him with his favorite treats. We love you, Momotaro! Please keep us posted on his health.
Hey guys, I've spoken to Kyoto Zoo a few minutes ago. Momo has diarrhea but it has been attended to and being monitored. He hasn't been drinking much, but, tries to eat bananas and the staff is pushing fluid to maintain his hydration level. This may account for why Momo is looking sick right now. I am praying for his earliest recovery. We love you Momo. Get better soon big boy. From Australia
How incredible is Gentaro. He can sense that his father is sick. He is keeping an eye on his dad. What a brilliant animal. Momo is not well and the diarrhea is taken a toll on Momo's body due to the loss of fluid and the loss of appetite which makes it hard for the big boy. I am sure he'll recover in no time he looks so weak at present moments. I trust the Kyoto staff to look after him well.
Удивительное видео, где вся семья радом с папой-Момотаро, все ему сочувствуют и поддерживают его! А мы еще тут обсуждаем, что они не дружат между собой... И вот настоящий пример взаимоподдержки и сопереживания!
It just broke my heart seeing Dad not feeling good. You could just see it in his eyes. And it so touched my heart seeing the rest of family right there by his side knowing he was not feeling good very concerned all of them. They are the most loving and caring family. We can all learn alot from just watching them. Feel better Big Daddy. 🙏🐵
Oh. Poor Momotaro! I really don’t like seeing him like this, it’s just so worrying. I hope it’s just a 24 hour thing and nothing more serious. Get better soon Momotaro!! 🤞❤️❤️
The zoo posted that he was taking antibiotics for a wound under his chin. One of the side effects of the medicine is diarrhea, which he has. They took him off the medication and were treating his diarrhea, slowly he was regaining his appetite, so hopefully he will be back to himself in no time.
@@phoenix254 спасибо за пояснение, я так переживала за Момотаро (это мой любимый сильвербек из всех, за кем я наблюдаю на Ютубе), особенно, когда Гентаро не отходит своего отца! В эти моменты Гентаро меня еще больше покорил своим сочувствием, милосердием и любовью к близким!
I so hope it is NOT covid, and maybe just a 24 hour bug, or the heat, but he's been like this for about a weak. I literally have not seen him eat in 2 days. The keeper tried to feed him, and he rejected that. That is when I began to panic.😩
Gentaro is the first who understood that is father is unwell and stay beside him They must give him some thing like laxatif (he is always eating and not moving too much)
Yeah. Im truly touched by Gentaro's serious concern over his Idol Dad's wellbeing. Despite his fear of his imposing Dad, Gentaro stays close and wanted his dad to know he is there for him. 😥His sad face tells all. What a wonderful son! Gentaro is one sensitive and adorable gorilla son. Genki shows worrying concern too. Bless this amazing gorilla family. Get well real soon Momo....your family are all rooting for you!!!😘
Poor daddy Momotaro! He looks miserable!😥 Gentaro is awesome and very intelligent! He really cares about his family! Hope Momotaro will be ok very soon!
I hope a vet was contacted something is seriously wrong with Momotaro. He has not appeared to be feeling good for a while I thought maybe it was because of the heat. But he needs to be seen by a vet asap. He would never lay in dirt if he wasn't very sick.
@@amandabrown5488 It probably dose feel cool. It's just Momotaro has a thing about getting dirt on himself. You doesn't like it he always sits, and laying down he on something not the ground. I hope they get him medical help soon. in the video today he is very weak and still not eating.
Is there any update about Momo? I’ve seen some other video channels that show him walking around and eating but I don’t know what day or time those videos were taken.
I want to cry seeing Momotaro like this. The zoo needs to call the vet for examination and blood work. I can not stand seeing him like this. It breaks my heart. I hope the zoo does something soon because if anything happens to Momotaro it will be a great loss. I love this gorilla and his family very much. I watch every video every day! Please Momotaro get well soon sweetie! You are breaking my heart seeing you so weak! I hope we can see him better tomorrow!
You are right! Gentaro is very intelligent and sensitive! He is a great son and will be an awesome silverback and father! But I feel sorry for him since he is rejected by his mother very often!
@@elisabethroth1591 so do I. That's why he some times misbehave with genki for attention . They will heartbroken at the time of separation specially genki.
@@naman1793 I wonder what would Genki do, if she had another baby! Would she reject Kintaro? Maybe a gorilla mum can only take care about one child? It will be a very sad day when Gentaro has to leave! He is so sweet and adorable!
@@elisabethroth1591 Я не могу с вами согласиться, что Гентаро отвергает свою мать (если мне яндекс-переводчик правильно перевел ваш комментарий...). Я считаю, наоборот, он хочет и хочет внимание мамы-Генки. Даже, когда Гентаро задирает Генки, она старается быть менее сердитой, она не проявляет к Гентаро агрессии, а просто отмахивается от него. Лично мне кажется, что Генки уже возрастная горилла и ей непросто начать играть с Гентаро. Её больше устраивают посиделки рядом - много моментов есть, когда Гентаро спокойно сидит с Генки рядом, и они ухаживают друг за другом... Разве это не любовь мамы к сыну?
Lying down on those metal rafters does not look comfortable. Momrntaro should have a nice, comfortable bed made of hay, especially while he is so unwell.
It has been soo hot in Japan, I worry about mosquitos that carry disease. I hope he is ok. I hope its not Covid! San diego zoo's troop git covid and their older Silverback got hit hard! I am sure the zoo vets will do blood tests asap because for a Silverback not to eat for even 1 day can be dangerous.
I wondered the same thing...if it was covid. I surely hope not. If it is the entire Momotaro's will probably have to be treated like the Winston family. That was really hard to watch Winston suffer through. Momo looks weak, and sunken eyes. Maybe it's just the heat, or a 24 hour bug. Oh dear. 😩
After watching another video from another videographer, I agree, something is seriously wrong with Momotaro...to lose weight that fast and not seem comfortable no matter where he lies down...the vets need to do blood work and ultrasound...Heart disease is very prominent in gorilla's....he needs to be checked out because something is definitely not right.
@@TheFlashyWeasel After Momotaro's favorite keeper tried to feed him and he rejected it, sure they are well aware of the situation, and I am going to have faith they are on top of it. Momotaro needs replenishing fluids ( apparently you can give gorillas Gatorade...was given to Winston family during their covid bout) . From the looks of it maybe he needs a dose of antibiotics, a nice hay bed in a cool room, some good tasty fruit snacks to replenish his weight when his appetite comes back, AND lots of rest. Momotaro not to worry, your family is safe, and you have MANY MANY friends who love you dearly. Get well my big handsome friend. 💘
Poor Momotaro. I truly hope they help him and can get him to feel better. Maybe that’s why he’s been aggressive as well. Praying that Drs thots and hands are guided to help Momo.
I do wonder if it's IBS from the heat???? It affects me in my life. I hate the heat! Don't know if they get such a thing but he looks like he's trying to get it out! Body language! Praying for my favorite Silverback! Stay in air conditioning, please 🥺
He does look sick, but I feel like people are overreacting that he's "losing weight." He still looks nice and tubby to me, just achy. Still, I hope Momotaro feels better soon. Looks like something digestive? He's smart to try and avoid the others if he doesn't feel too good. (And go figure, now everyone pretends to be worried about the poor guy as if they weren't calling him names a day ago.)
What is the update on Momotaro health? It's going on 2 weeks being ill. What about his family's health? Japan Zoo please do everything possible to make sure that this gorilla troop is getting well and back to health!
Oh yes definitely, you can see that he is not himself. The family are all very concerned. I hope that he is not in pain! He seems to need quiet and wants to sleep a lot. I hope that it is not a viral infection, or a blockage of any kind. I hope that the vet will do a full blood work check on him and that the keepers will keep us posted.
I have said my concerns over an over. He's so beautiful of a specimen, and he has such a small troop if goes down, that will leave gentaro an Kintaro to carry on Biju's blood line.He is in my heart Please keep him well.
5:40 Momotaro lying on his back on a beam. Look how flat his abdomen is! Not big & rounded like it usually is. 15:10 Doctor Kintaro does a health check on Big Daddy. Lol!
Ms Hina, Zookeeper, or videographer... what has Momotaro been diagnosed with ? Give us a hint of what is going on, please. With the loose skin hanging from around his chest, you can see the outline of his ribs. He looks to have poor skin turger, around his face he has increased wrinkles from weight loss & dehydration. He is losing his mobility, when you have a negative nitrogen balance it is difficult to walk around. No energy. He has not felt good for a longer time, more than 2 days. Kyoto Zoo takes excellent care of this family. Thank you!
Hes probably just feeling a little under the weather. He will be back to himself in another day or 2. It has to wear off of him and his appetite will pick back up. He's gonna be okay. 😍
They probably have e.Coli from something they have eaten. Kintaro looks sick here too but he has progressed to be so much worse not sure there is much to be done except hydrate and hope they can bounce back but they may not make it….baby and dad are affected by this mysterious illness the worst but they all have loose stools and are fighting something inside their bodies.
That’s what I thought too. Keeping his knees pulled up. Jeeez, he looks positively miserable. I can never fathom how with his huge body he can balance into a comfort nap on the beams, but today he was hanging on everywhere, both hands and both feet, knees up. For a moment, it looked like his was asking the keepers for something or they were maybe getting a mouth swab or temperature from him. Oooh Momo, big guy, hoping you’re better fast.
@@katewaterbaby It does looked like he was being chked by the zookeepers and Momo was obedient to do it. The scene where Momo was crouching on his elbows and knees near the pond, he looked stressed. Whn he saw Gentato looking at him with concern nearby, he turned away n looked the other way. So heart wrenching😢🤒. Momo must be either embarrassed to be in this weak condition or he has to be in really great pain. Get well Momotaro🙏
@@loralei9010 Yes., presumbly so. Cos he's the head and protector of the family. His family looked up to him to protect them as he is supposed to be the strongest pillar 😢 Momo, get well, u will be strong again.
@@fioglow yes ...beautiful soul Momo cant wait for update tommorrow did you hear news a couple of hours ago on gorilla today I won't get too excited but sounds like he has stabilised n improved somewhat 😍
Get well soon momo and proud of you gentaro.🌟🦍👍🌈 Your love 😘 and affection towards your family shows once again when gates gone close and papa momo is not came out and you panicked in concern of momo keep banging and hitting on the door. Whole day you are concerned about your papa momo and you also follow momotaro 🦍 every where . Today you again behaves like a good and sincere boy. Don't worry about momo he will get well soon . 🙏⭐🦍👍 Get well soon Momotaro 🍑
@@loralei9010 I feel the same! When Gentaro will be gone someday, I won't watch that frequently anymore! He is the reason that I watch! Have a lovely day!
@@elisabethroth1591 yeh I love them all deeply. Sometimes I can't watch too much if it distress me about the conditions they have to tolerate. I go through phases but this is the only thing I watch regularly besides footy lol. I eventually get over my pain, harden up and watch another round joy from them but not their living situation. Did you get to the best news in the world record Momo
@@loralei9010 Once more I absolutly agree with you! I started to watch this family on a daily base during last wintertime but I stopped doing so because their situation made me feel bad! This enclosure is much too small and very ugly! Furthermore I do not understand why they don't get various veggies? Some people say that they get veggies inside!? Only grass and leaves can't cover all their needs! Another thing that really bothers me is Gentaro's situation! It's lovely to watch how much Genki loves Kintaro! He is a cute little quy! But on the other hand she rejects Gentaro constantly! This must be very offending for him since he is a sensitive and intelligent boy! If there was a bigger group he could get in closer touch with another mother figure but in this enclosure there is no space and people say Genki wouldn't tolerante any other females! So Gentaro has to be for himself although he is not yet 10 years old and would still need affection and care! Watching all this helplessly from far away made me quit watching frequently! But I still visit them from time to time just to assure myself if they are ok! Sadly today Momotaro is not!😥 Have a good time and enjoy your footy!🙋♀️
I wonder, given their nature, do they ever get so tired of being closed in with so little to interest them, that they become sad and ill from it? I think they must be capable of depression since they have all of our other feelings? Never mind me, it's probably just the heat or a tummy upset.
A basic tenet of medicine, & I guess veterinary medicine as well, is that you rule out all possible physical causes of a problem before turning to mental causes. Whatever ails Momotaro, I hope they find out the problem. Poor guy💔
Yes they do. If you do some research you will find that it is neglect for welfare. They suffer greatly. You put yourself in their shoes for one day by day 2 you be crazy.
Very worried about him. He's been looking unwell for awhile. I wondered if the rash on his head is a symptom. Remember he had that big wound under his chin. Maybe antibiotics has him sick. They are all going to be sick if something isn't done about the way they are living. Green mildew and mold on everything. The grounds are filthy. Do things ever get washed down. Their care has really gone down. Is it lack of money?
I totally agree with you.They need to take a hint from Chester zoo in England and Dublin zoo,Ireland.I think they need to clean their enclosure and give them more space.I think he is depressed and has been for a while,no enrichment, just sitting and eating every day.I pray there is nothing physical wrong.
Good morning to you guys. I've just happened to watch this episode of Momo. I woke up to the sound of this music each day and as usual always looking forward to seeing my gorilla first thing in the morning. One thing I've noticed today is that Momo doesn't look well. Somehow, I can just sense that there is something is wrong I'm quite worried. Note that his facial features seemed to have shrunk a little. His composure worries me, as he exhibits a form of discomfort. Also, his eldest son appeared worried as well as his wife Genkin. I have watch Momo since he was 10 years old and I know when there's something is wrong with his health, and he's not eating well. Momo loves his food. Please Kyotozoo can you attend to Momo's health. He'll need a complete thorough physical check-up to ensure that we will prolong his life for the sake of his family and us. He lost his father at an early age thus, this recent Momo's behavior is a worrying thing for all of us. There are many people out there around the world that adores this entire family, therefore we have to care for him. Thank you Kyoto zoo for your tireless, and wonderful work. We greatly appreciate all the hard work you put into caring for our animals. I love you Gentaro, Momo, Genki and Kintaro.
I wonder if Momo has some kind of food allergy. I have seen an increasing diversity of foods lately, which is great, but it's possible some are not agreeing with Momo. Since he eats so much, a certain vegetable may be causing gas. He also has skin acne on his forehead which could be allergies or dermatitis. The facility is not ideal, but the staff truly makes up for that with their devoted time to feeding, playing and caring for this gorilla family. I agree that Momo's short temper and grumpiness is connected to him not feeling very well. ANd he does look like he is losing a little weight.
What are they doing to help them? All of them has something going on. Don't forget Genki's teeth. Ever time you look around Kintaro has a new injury. Let's talk about the multiple wounds on Genki. Something's got to be done soon. Poor, poor family!😢😥💕
Yesssssssss. They need to move somewhere else. Google...Two stories about gorillas in Japanese zoo....this researcher uncovered the truth. I can't share link as it's a pdf file. I just researched another zoo which maybe a possibility lots of acerage but a sanctuary would be best of course. May need to crowd fund. If zoo said. No stuff em. If there is a public out cry prime minister listen to people
@@elisabethroth1591 idk. I had thought that he died of heart disease. But when I looked it up again, I could only find asphyxiation & undetermined. Additionally he had lost a lot of weight before he died.

15:10 Doctor Kintaro does a health check on Big Daddy. Lol!
I wonder if gorillas are prone to bloat? I know barrel chested dogs are, maybe gorillas are. He does seem uncomfortable.
Where is the food...please put a range of food abd and drink easily accessible to MOMo
Don't call Momo crazy not to eat when there is no food for even an ant
Mi querido Momotaro, espero que te mejores pronto.🙏🥰
Feel better soon🥰😍🦍
I hope it's not the covid. Get well soon Papa Momotaro.
I sure hope the zoo has checked Momotaro for Covid. He really doesn't look well at all. Not his usual self.
Ms Hina, Zookeeper, or videographer... what has Momotaro been diagnosed with ? Give us a hint of what is going on, please. With the loose skin hanging from around his chest, you can see the outline of his ribs. He looks to have poor skin turger, around his face he has increased wrinkles from weight loss & dehydration. He is losing his mobility, when you have a negative nitrogen balance it is difficult to walk around. No energy. He has not felt good for a longer time, more than 2 days. Kyoto Zoo takes excellent care of this family. Thank you!
Momotaro looks sick.He is sluggish,tired and doesn't want to eat.Hopefully the zookeeper are on to of this.Inpray that he makes a speedy recovery.
Please take care of momotaro ,he has stomach aches 😌😌 please get well soon my buddy 🤗🤗😘
I hope he's OK
0:29 look how worried Gentaro is😥 knock in the door "Hey let My dad out"
PRECISA QUE MANDE ESCRITO EM PORTUGUÊS,,O QUE ACONTECEU COM MOMOTARO,, OBRIGADA!!
Hes probably just feeling a little under the weather. He will be back to himself in another day or 2. It has to wear off of him and his appetite will pick back up. He's gonna be okay. 😍
Pobre Gentaro , está preocupado por su padre, mi querido Momotaro ponte bien.
now I am worried about Momotaro
Momo cant acceas food in usual places be aware and provide accessible options there isnt no food
They probably have e.Coli from something they have eaten. Kintaro looks sick here too but he has progressed to be so much worse not sure there is much to be done except hydrate and hope they can bounce back but they may not make it….baby and dad are affected by this mysterious illness the worst but they all have loose stools and are fighting something inside their bodies.
It's like he went to the zoo keeper to tell them he's sick, and he needs help, now. Hes begging for help not treats. He dont want to die.
Momo isn’t crazy! he’s sick ☹️ I’m hoping he gets better soon!
Poor Momotaro, get better soon lovely boy.
Strange positions like he's suffering belly pain and trying to alleviate it. Feel better soon big guy!
That’s what I thought too. Keeping his knees pulled up. Jeeez, he looks positively miserable. I can never fathom how with his huge body he can balance into a comfort nap on the beams, but today he was hanging on everywhere, both hands and both feet, knees up. For a moment, it looked like his was asking the keepers for something or they were maybe getting a mouth swab or temperature from him. Oooh Momo, big guy, hoping you’re better fast.
@@katewaterbaby It does looked like he was being chked by the zookeepers and Momo was obedient to do it.
The scene where Momo was crouching on his elbows and knees near the pond, he looked stressed. Whn he saw Gentato looking at him with concern nearby, he turned away n looked the other way. So heart wrenching😢🤒. Momo must be either embarrassed to be in this weak condition or he has to be in really great pain. Get well Momotaro🙏
@@fioglow maybe really hurt Momo to see n feel Gentaro sadness
@@loralei9010 Yes., presumbly so. Cos he's the head and protector of the family. His family looked up to him to protect them as he is supposed to be the strongest pillar 😢 Momo, get well, u will be strong again.
@@fioglow yes ...beautiful soul Momo cant wait for update tommorrow did you hear news a couple of hours ago on gorilla today I won't get too excited but sounds like he has stabilised n improved somewhat 😍
Get well soon momo and proud of you gentaro.🌟🦍👍🌈 Your love 😘 and affection towards your family shows once again when gates gone close and papa momo is not came out and you panicked in concern of momo keep banging and hitting on the door. Whole day you are concerned about your papa momo and you also follow momotaro 🦍 every where . Today you again behaves like a good and sincere boy. Don't worry about momo he will get well soon . 🙏⭐🦍👍 Get well soon Momotaro 🍑
Yes I'm not watching these much anymore as it's break my heart when Gentaro get taken away
Your comment is very lovely and heartwarming! Loved reading it!💐👍
@@loralei9010
I feel the same! When Gentaro will be gone someday, I won't watch that frequently anymore! He is the reason that I watch! Have a lovely day!
@@elisabethroth1591 yeh I love them all deeply. Sometimes I can't watch too much if it distress me about the conditions they have to tolerate. I go through phases but this is the only thing I watch regularly besides footy lol. I eventually get over my pain, harden up and watch another round joy from them but not their living situation. Did you get to the best news in the world record Momo
@@loralei9010
Once more I absolutly agree with you! I started to watch this family on a daily base during last wintertime but I stopped doing so because their situation made me feel bad! This enclosure is much too small and very ugly! Furthermore I do not understand why they don't get various veggies? Some people say that they get veggies inside!? Only grass and leaves can't cover all their needs! Another thing that really bothers me is Gentaro's situation! It's lovely to watch how much Genki loves Kintaro! He is a cute little quy! But on the other hand she rejects Gentaro constantly! This must be very offending for him since he is a sensitive and intelligent boy! If there was a bigger group he could get in closer touch with another mother figure but in this enclosure there is no space and people say Genki wouldn't tolerante any other females! So Gentaro has to be for himself although he is not yet 10 years old and would still need affection and care! Watching all this helplessly from far away made me quit watching frequently! But I still visit them from time to time just to assure myself if they are ok! Sadly today Momotaro is not!😥
Have a good time and enjoy your footy!🙋♀️
Что с Momotaro?! 🙊🙊😢😢😢 Он там сьел что то не то ! ☝ Ему нужна помощь ! ☝🙈😢😢
Momotaro😔❤🦍parece triste Gentaro parece preocupado com Momotaro😔😔❤❤🦍🦍espero que Momotaro esteja bem 🧡💛💚💙❤❤❤❤🦍🦍🦍🦍
Que pasa con Momotaro??
Ohh no
No se siente bien😢
There is something wrong with Momotaro,, he needs medical checkup,,whatever i hope everything is okay with him
I wonder, given their nature, do they ever get so tired of being closed in with so little to interest them, that they become sad and ill from it? I think they must be capable of depression since they have all of our other feelings?
Never mind me, it's probably just the heat or a tummy upset.
A basic tenet of medicine, & I guess veterinary medicine as well, is that you rule out all possible physical causes of a problem before turning to mental causes.
Whatever ails Momotaro, I hope they find out the problem. Poor guy💔
Yes they do. If you do some research you will find that it is neglect for welfare. They suffer greatly. You put yourself in their shoes for one day by day 2 you be crazy.
Very worried about him. He's been looking unwell for awhile. I wondered if the rash on his head is a symptom. Remember he had that big wound under his chin. Maybe antibiotics has him sick. They are all going to be sick if something isn't done about the way they are living. Green mildew and mold on everything. The grounds are filthy. Do things ever get washed down. Their care has really gone down. Is it lack of money?
@@loralei9010 well, I am not a gorilla with a gorilla body & brain, & gorilla needs.
I totally agree with you.They need to take a hint from Chester zoo in England and Dublin zoo,Ireland.I think they need to clean their enclosure and give them
more space.I think he is depressed and has been for a while,no enrichment, just sitting and eating every day.I pray there is nothing physical wrong.
Me gustaria la lectura en español me gustan mucho los videos
Good morning to you guys. I've just happened to watch this episode of Momo. I woke up to the sound of this music each day and as usual always looking forward to seeing my gorilla first thing in the morning. One thing I've noticed today is that Momo doesn't look well. Somehow, I can just sense that there is something is wrong I'm quite worried. Note that his facial features seemed to have shrunk a little. His composure worries me, as he exhibits a form of discomfort. Also, his eldest son appeared worried as well as his wife Genkin. I have watch Momo since he was 10 years old and I know when there's something is wrong with his health, and he's not eating well. Momo loves his food. Please Kyotozoo can you attend to Momo's health. He'll need a complete thorough physical check-up to ensure that we will prolong his life for the sake of his family and us. He lost his father at an early age thus, this recent Momo's behavior is a worrying thing for all of us. There are many people out there around the world that adores this entire family, therefore we have to care for him. Thank you Kyoto zoo for your tireless, and wonderful work. We greatly appreciate all the hard work you put into caring for our animals. I love you Gentaro, Momo, Genki and Kintaro.
We loved him very much too. We pray that Momotaro will get well really soon. A check by the vet will be appreciated.
I cant see food provisions Momo is too weak to access it in normal places
Heat: Takes away appetite and slows you down.
Hopefully that means he's on his way out.
This is heartbreaking 💔💔😪
I wonder if Momo has some kind of food allergy. I have seen an increasing diversity of foods lately, which is great, but it's possible some are not agreeing with Momo. Since he eats so much, a certain vegetable may be causing gas. He also has skin acne on his forehead which could be allergies or dermatitis. The facility is not ideal, but the staff truly makes up for that with their devoted time to feeding, playing and caring for this gorilla family. I agree that Momo's short temper and grumpiness is connected to him not feeling very well. ANd he does look like he is losing a little weight.
Oh my! That is concerning 😊
Momotaro 🦍 need another woman gorilla to be happy😉😎, like Shabani has.
How would they deal with Momotaro if it was a serious condition.
Escribir en español para que nos podamos en tender de lo que le pasa Momotato.
My sweetboy....why u not eating?
What are they doing to help them? All of them has something going on. Don't forget Genki's teeth. Ever time you look around Kintaro has a new injury. Let's talk about the multiple wounds on Genki. Something's got to be done soon. Poor, poor family!😢😥💕
Yesssssssss. They need to move somewhere else. Google...Two stories about gorillas in Japanese zoo....this researcher uncovered the truth. I can't share link as it's a pdf file. I just researched another zoo which maybe a possibility lots of acerage but a sanctuary would be best of course. May need to crowd fund. If zoo said. No stuff em. If there is a public out cry prime minister listen to people
How old was Momo's dad when he died and what did he die from.
Momotaro's father was Biju, 1987-1999. He died of asphyxiation.
He died a few days before Momo was born.
@@bythebayou5351
Oh my goodness! How could this happen?😱
@@elisabethroth1591 idk. I had thought that he died of heart disease. But when I looked it up again, I could only find asphyxiation & undetermined. Additionally he had lost a lot of weight before he died.
@@bythebayou5351
So very sad! Thank you very much for your kind explanation!👍🙋♀️
