As I read the comments I can't help to think most ppl don't understand that the natural habitat for these majestic animals is mostly gone and the wild gorillas are being hunted to near extinction, the Kyoto zoo seems to take very good care of the Momotaro family. Instead of feeling sorry for them, maybe donate to the zoo so it has more funding to build bigger nicer inclosures for my beloved freinds. In a perfect world they would be out roaming free, but humanity has ruined that for them, I thank God for these vets, and zoo keepers. I love this family!! Gods blessings to all ❤
It would be ideal if the building could be expanded. Above all, we need to get young gorillas transferred from abroad. To do this, we need to improve the environment in which the gorillas are kept. Currently, it is almost impossible to find partners for young gorillas in Japan.
True. I think they take good care of them too, but the longing in the Eyes of the Gorillas is sad. They know that there is more to the World than right there.
You are 100% correct imo; many species are extinct in the wild, and exist only under the protection of captivity… of course I agree that the habitats should be as comfortable/enriched as possible…
@@Gorilla-Life Oh that's so sad, I never thought about there being difficulties finding partners for captive animals..... At least they have their family group though, that's something at least, sadly not something SeaWorld was ever interested in maintaining with their captive orcas.
Da kann ich mich nur anschließen er hat so schönes Gesicht Gentaro sehr ausdrucksstarke Augen er gehört zu meinen absoluten Lieblinge. Und natürlich mein kleiner Schatz Kintaro der süßeste kleine Gorilla den es gibt für mich .❤🦍❤🦍
I love the way Kintaro props his foot up on his blanket and then his ball. He’s so smart! I also love how Momotaro and Gentaro jumped to see about Kintaro. ❤ 🦍
I think Momotaro, Gentaro, and Kintaro are all showing, no fault of their own, signs of depression and some anxiety. They need something extra in their lives, rather than just being stuck in the same enclosure every day, with nothing else to look forward to rather than just eating. I've been following this Gorilla family for a few years now and have noticed how especially Gentaro and Kintaro are becoming less and less active and playful as they used to be. The look on Gentaro's face is one of sadness more so than Kintaro. It is a shame that they couldn't live their lives in the natural environment of Africa, in the jungles and forests where they are supposed to be, interacting with other Gorillas, finding new friends, searching for their food, climbing trees to pick fruit and tearing open bark to feast on ants and termites. I know this is impossible for them now because they wouldn't know how to survive in the jungle. Nobody has taught them because they have always been in captivity behind bars and not with other gorillas that could teach them what to do. It makes me sad to see these creatures stuck in that enclosure and that's how it's going to be for the rest of their lives. I think that the zoo people need to think of other ideas that would cheer those young guys Gentaro and Kintaro especially, up. Wouldn't it be great if they could somehow build special cages that would go onto a truck where they could take them out of the zoo and to places like the ocean, to a football match, out into a forest, or up into the mountains, let them watch a rock concert, anywhere but stuck in their enclosure. I reckon the look on those faces would be one of excitement and not of sadness that they are showing.😊
@@elizabethsands9683 in natural environment they would still live in restricted territory because outside there is other family's territory. And if two dominant male encounter one supposed to kill the other one. At least here they are safe and can enjoy long life unlike in nature.
Momotaro is very clumsy in his feelings but he is a good father and a good husband. He's kind and loves his family. He's just shy and clumsy but he's good. I love Momotaro ❤
He really is doing the best he can as a father considering he himself didn't really have a father figure growing up. If I remember correctly he was separated from his parents rather early in life for some reason...he really is a gentle giant. I love the Momo family to bits and pieces.
I agree completely! I too feel bad that they can't be free but I know why they can't and am thankful there are places that will give them love and as much enjoyment as they can! I love this family! And that is a great suggestion, to donate to the zoo! I think that I will do that. Thanks 😊
It seems as if these gorillas aren't taken care of very well. One has a sprained foot, and another one is having trouble chewing her food and she also has an open wound on her shoulder. Somebody needs to be reporting this zoo to animal welfare and demand that the place has investigation done on them. 😡😭
I don’t like zoos at all. But the ‘wound’ or little cut on the shoulder looks new. And we have no idea if they have put antiseptic on it already or if they will do it during the evening lock down. The treatment for a sprained foot is… nothing. You can put the foot in plaster or a bandage, but that doesn’t do anything to prevent the toes & small bones/muscles from moving. The only reason humans get those things for minor foot & ankle injuries is to make them feel psychologically secure. They don’t aid in healing at all. Besides, the Gorillas would likely have casts or bandages off in seconds. Zoos are less than ideal habitats for any creature. But they are what keeps the money coming in through the gate, so popular zoos like this one, don’t usually mistreat their animals, ignore health issues or let them suffer unnecessarily. And also sadly they do have a place in conservation. For example, there are more Tigers in captivity in the US than there are in the wild world wide. A huge proportion are in private and public zoos.
I agree with you! I've always thought he was gorgeous! His coloring and, as you say, the brow and the eyes are Genki. The facial features come from her mother, Hiromi. Have a book with several pictures of Hiromi and the resemblance is very noticeable. Some say Gentaro looks like Momoko - and that is their opinion. But I just don't see it at all. How is your art work coming along?
@@Charlotte-r Hi Charlotte, I will have to look at Hiromi-nice to pass the gentle features along! I am working on something, but will take awhile, as I have other projects preceding this one. I am in com with GL on this.🙂
@@sharonwoods5825 yes... Because mankind is wiping out our animals and their habitats. There is no choice. Mankind will always want power and greed-and nothing will stand in the way. It's a sad fact. The animals born in captivity have no knowledge of their wild counterparts if that makes you feel any better.. they have food, care, but yes, they are enclosed. Zoos are getting better at getting more room and natural housing. But you'll always encounter some that can't do that due to expense and space limitations. Care is perhaps the most single important factor.. Most zoos perform yearly checkups, I do not see that here, especially with older animals. But we only see a small part of their day. I hope I helped you to understand. 😊
Indeed the Momotaro family is very well cared for..the Kyoto Zoo standard of care is EXCELLENT.. FROM SANITIZED living quarters to blankets washed daily and tumbler dryed hot air clean..the gorilla's like and enjoy..This gorilla family feels like my fam. Ive watched Momtaro since his arrival as a young Virgin boy in heat. THUS WIFE GENKI TAUGHT HIM ABOUT THE birds abd bees. And even assisted Momo and showed him in future play a videos of two gorillas in heat..
Genki looks very much like her own mother Hiromi, from old photos I’ve seen. Her eyes are similar and the silvery hair around her face is also. Two beautiful ladies ❤️❤️
Thank you, to Kyoto zoo for all that you do for these glorious animals.. I know that their well-being is uppermost in your minds and that you work very hardship to make a wonderful environment for them.. and thank you for the videos.. I would never have been able to see interactions like these.. as a result, gorillas are my favorite.. have so enjoyed watching our little Kenny and Gentaro grow up. And to see Momo turn into a great papa has been a joy.. our Genki, the sweetest disposition but the heart of a lion, when it comes to her boys..
You are a very caring daddy. You are eating but still watching your family ❤my sweet baby 🦍by himself but content!! Precious mama hugging her baby 🦍 you can’t be a better mama to your kids 🦍!!!!🦍💕♥️
Baby Kentaro so Very Sweet and cute. I hope his little leg is better. Gentaro’s got the sweetest face . Would love to know what he is thinking. O my goodness I hope Baby Ken is ok. His Daddy and his brother looked like they were both running to see what was going on . I hope Kentaro is Not still in pain. He seems to be a little more to him self these last few Videos. He’s still so small compared to the others. Love watching them. ❤
Here, their life is too calm. They are protected from everything and they don’t worry about predators. In the wild, many things would prey on their young from the ground and air. But they are alive here because in the wild, man would also prey on them for their hands, feet, skins etc.
Kintaro most likely sustained a foot-fracture on the Steel I-Beams and when he jumped down onto the concrete, he yelped from the excruciating pain. Maybe some more old used car tires might help.
AMG Guy-you don't know that.pls don't start false information here.The keepers saved Gentaro's life and helped Kintaro to thrive and they saved Momotaro's life last summer so I FULLY trust they will help Kintaro with his leg or any other issue.they are amazing.But let's publish only what the zoo has documented.
@@lynngold1865 WOW, "most likely" not that he did. They are only trying to figure out what "might have happened " not what did happen. This was their opinion, which fron what I remember is still allowed. They said nothing about the keepers not helping Kinraro and also just made a suggestion, nothing more. I did not know yout could not comment freely on this channel, are you the owner? Many people watch this family base they are interested in the family, don't discourage then from watching the viewers help this channel.
Do they have a larger enclosure? Are they building one, if not? Such a small area for that large of mammals. The need so much more stimulation mental and physical. They all are gorgeous and beautiful.
Beautiful creatures. Look how their eyes have lost that spark of life. Imagine several adult humans and a teenager or two, all living in a small one room apartment, together 24-hours every day. I wouldn’t be happy either. Think about it.
Imagine never having to worry about where your next meal is coming from, or if you can afford your heating bill. These animals live better than some people!
Poor baby 😢 but i had to laugh because dad was still eating while running to save his baby 😂 big brother took off running after the 2nd cry! Kintaro is fearless, but still needs his mama ❤
What a good fur daddy & fur bro, Kintaro has it made, well loved & deserved, my goodness Gentaro will be a handsomely gorgeous beast when he reaches age of a silverback, I cannot wait to see him then. Just like his beastly daddy!!!
They will die! They are safe and well looked after and in no danger of being poached. They serve as wonderful ambassadors for their species while breeding them in captivity to keep the numbers up as they are critically endangered in the wild BECAUSE of trafficking
I can't get over their intelligence. How the smaller gorilla knew to elevate his foot and the parent took another blanket and carried it to another place. I believe they understand more than humans give them credit for.
Momotaro malgré qu il soit solitaire reste un papa génial malgré tout . Prêt à sauver ça famille . Il est génial ❤❤❤❤❤ J'espère que kintaro n'a rien .... J aime la réaction gentaro ...
Truly beautiful animals. Animals need to be respected and protected. And though i generally disapprove of zoos, i think there are definitely situations where Humans should intervene to protect and take care of animals. And there are some horrific zoos out there, who have absolutely no business and no right being near any animal, let alone house and care for them. THIS, the kyoto zoo, is very clearly NOT one of those terrible places. And these gorillas (and id imagine all the other animals too, if i make it to Japan like a plan to (i live in America), i will be paying this zoo a visit. They deserve the support. These are well cared for, happy gorillas who get to live out their days, just being themsleves (and being safe). And zoos also help us learn about animals, and everything we learn can help us better understand and protect them. When it comes to wildlife in captivity, it is much better to have EXPERTS care for them.
Я, наверное, ошиблась? Комомо -дочь Хаоко? А, что Момотаро и Хаоко братья? В этом родстве горилл и черт ногу сломает, это русская поговорка, еще в таких случаях говорят " без поллитра не разберешься! " Поллитра - водки!!!
На этом видео семья Момотаро...жена Генки...старший сын 11лет Гентаро...и младший сын Кинтаро 4 года. В стародавние времена Генки была женой отца Момотаро, у неё был выкидыш...и у них не получилось семьи. У Генки была сильная депрессия, она себя истизала (потеряв 3 пальца) и её обратно перевели в матери в другой зоопарк. А в том зоопарке Момока стала женой того самца. Она забеременела, и у неё родился Момотаро, который в последствии стал мужем Генки. А его отец умер до его рождения. И уже после Момоко стала женой Хаоко...и у них 5 детей..Момока..Комомо...Рики...Сумомо А Хаоко родной брат Шабани из другого зоопарка тоже в Японии.
It is so very sad that these Gorillas have to live in captivity like this and I am definite that they don’t get the care that they are to get and the area they live in just doesn’t seem clean and so small for such big creatures. The one Gorilla that has a bad foot should be cared for by the humans or he could get a very bad infection and get sepsis in the blood and end up dying cause I had that and almost died cause it isn’t something to play with or even ignore too. If the animals are “ACTUAL RESCUES” that’s good tat they are there but if they are ONLY being USED for SHOW so the people who run this Zoo can get money to put into their rich pockets then it’s absolutely wrong. You need to give these very intelligent Gorillas to a Rescue and even if it’s to another Country too then they would get their spark back in their eyes and be very happy creatures and be able to live as a Gorilla should live. God bless these precious and very intelligent creatures. Sue (Florida, USA)❤️😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🦍❌⭕️
Personally I don't understand why the Zoos don't make làrger enclosures for these amazing animals. This is just one of the pet peeves I have against the Zoos. (They can definitely afford to give them at least a couple of acres, even 1 acre would be nice, of land to roam on! Instead of a box!!!)
This is heartbreaking these animals look depressed, they should have plenty’s of room to move around and also fresh air. I don’t like zoos. I get they’re protecting them but there must be better ways
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS THESE PRECIOUS CREATURES BETTER BE TAKEN CARE OF..IF THEY GET SICK TAKE CARE OF IT , IF THEY GET INJURED YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF IT,, TREAT THESE GUYS RIGHT AND DO RIGHT BY THEM.
Kintaro realmente sente seu machucado pois se movimenta muito pouco perto de sua correria habitual. Tudo está mudando em Gentaro menos o olhar sempre tão expressivo! Que o staff do Kyoto City Zoo nos de

What beautiful creatures, they look sooooooo bored. I can’t help but feel desperately sorry for them!
Trapped in an unnatural enclosure for human entertainment. I don't like zoos or aquariums.

They look mostly bored in nature too, it's just how they are.
@@elizabethsands9683 I agree. Everyone should ban zoos, aquariums and any other animal attractions. Lets put them out of business!

100% agree❤️
I always flash back to when he protected Genki and baby Kintaro when the earthquake occurred…immediate action…

He really is doing the best he can as a father considering he himself didn't really have a father figure growing up. If I remember correctly he was separated from his parents rather early in life for some reason...he really is a gentle giant. I love the Momo family to bits and pieces.

The zoo needs to greatly expand this enclosure if they are going to keep this family there.
My exact Thought. Way too small for what will soon be three grown ass Male Gorillas.
Gentaro and his Dad are already sizing up each other.
It's such a boring life for them. All they do is eat and sit around. They belong in the wild where they have their own space and freedom. ❤
It no life for such majestic creatures. Constantly on view. More understanding and affectionate than many human' guys. The female looks so sad
They need more room. They look so sad,
Gentaro is a sweetheart ❤❤❤

Can you imagine how hard it must be for them, in such a small environment, having to listen to humans squawking and watching every day??
They tell us that we need lots of animal protein to build muscles. Tell that to a Silverback. 😂😂❤😂😂
The noise and confusion must be stressful for these wild animals.
Such a small space
It kills me to see such beautiful creatures behind glass while we all gawk at them. They need to be out where they belong. Living a full life!

And these gorillas (and id imagine all the other animals too, if i make it to Japan like a plan to (i live in America), i will be paying this zoo a visit. They deserve the support. These are well cared for, happy gorillas who get to live out their days, just being themsleves (and being safe). And zoos also help us learn about animals, and everything we learn can help us better understand and protect them. When it comes to wildlife in captivity, it is much better to have EXPERTS care for them.
Gentaro seems so sad, shame trees can’t be planted .
This is the saddest video… clearly, these magnificent creatures are bored… and would probably prefer to take their chances in the wild ~
So precious .could watch them all day
Essa família é incrível, cada um deles com a personalidade tão única e marcante... são muito queridos
Gentaro looks so much like his aunt Komomo and Sumomo looks like Kintaro at the same age.
AGREED .👍I also think that
Komomo looks a little like Momotaro .🙂
Но, если Комомо дочь Шабани, то, как она может быть тетей Гентаро? Ведь Момотаро не сын Шабани.
Я, наверное, ошиблась? Комомо -дочь Хаоко? А, что Момотаро и Хаоко братья? В этом родстве горилл и черт ногу сломает, это русская поговорка, еще в таких случаях говорят " без поллитра не разберешься! " Поллитра - водки!!!
@@vasilisaivanova8756 Момотаро сын Момоко жены Хаоко))
На этом видео семья Момотаро...жена Генки...старший сын 11лет Гентаро...и младший сын Кинтаро 4 года.
В стародавние времена Генки была женой отца Момотаро, у неё был выкидыш...и у них не получилось семьи. У Генки была сильная депрессия, она себя истизала (потеряв 3 пальца) и её обратно перевели в матери в другой зоопарк.
А в том зоопарке Момока стала женой того самца. Она забеременела, и у неё родился Момотаро, который в последствии стал мужем Генки. А его отец умер до его рождения. И уже после Момоко стала женой Хаоко...и у них 5 детей..Момока..Комомо...Рики...Сумомо
А Хаоко родной брат Шабани из другого зоопарка тоже в Японии.
What have these poor animals done to be put in jail?
En ese zoológico hay mucho ruido cualquiera se vuelve loco 😜😜
It is so sweet the way she is holding Kintaro as he nurses. Beautiful to see.
GENTARO your eyes are so sad I wish I could hug you, GENTARO is very smart, and very human like, he needs a girlfriend, lol
They're so gentle and sweet. I wish they had some more space to live....
These beings are far too intelligent to live in such an alien environment, it’s written all over their faces.
ゲンタロウの純真な顔が、可愛い💗
Es bello Gentaro ,un niño grande ,me encanta la familia Momo

12:03 to :18 would be nice to see this wall painted with trees and bushes, sort of like a jungle feel.
Beige is boring, make it come alive.
I would love to see Gentaro with his own mate, it’s time! And Momotaro could use a second wife as would naturally happen in the wild.
It is so very sad that these Gorillas have to live in captivity like this and I am definite that they don’t get the care that they are to get and the area they live in just doesn’t seem clean and so small for such big creatures. The one Gorilla that has a bad foot should be cared for by the humans or he could get a very bad infection and get sepsis in the blood and end up dying cause I had that and almost died cause it isn’t something to play with or even ignore too. If the animals are “ACTUAL RESCUES” that’s good tat they are there but if they are ONLY being USED for SHOW so the people who run this Zoo can get money to put into their rich pockets then it’s absolutely wrong. You need to give these very intelligent Gorillas to a Rescue and even if it’s to another Country too then they would get their spark back in their eyes and be very happy creatures and be able to live as a Gorilla should live. God bless these precious and very intelligent creatures. Sue (Florida, USA)❤️😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🦍❌⭕️
9:58 they seem so bored and sad. I wonder what we can add to give them a better quality of life?
ゲンキの丸いお腹は子ども達にとっては、良い感じの枕なんでしょうね😊ゲンタロウもよくお腹に頭を乗せて寝てました😊 キンタロウの足もちゃんと飼育員さんがチェックしてくれているようで安心ですね。

They would like some nice comfortable chairs!
Poor things having to listen to all that human noise all day.
Subscribed of course!
Gentaro looks so sad, poor guy😢
8:22
Nawwww too cute Genki and Kintaro. Gentaro is adorable and hope the vet checks Kintaro out as he looks to be in real pain the poor little darling.
Family Momotaro is amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a sweet smile on Gentaro’s face at 8:30
IT APPEARED THAT HE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN AND COULDN'T SEEM TO GET COMFORTABLE.
Why do the animals have to be subjected to the constant noise of the crowd and piped in music or am I mistaken
How sad these poor creatures look.
Amo os animais ❤😊
Oh wow. Kintaro is going to be 5 in December. How time flys.
Momotaro è un padre così affettuoso , che meraviglia ❤❤❤❤❤
Aww so sweet that momma gives baby kisses!😊
I love this glorious family. 🙊🥰🥺‼ A sweet snuggle always helps. 🤗
Personally I don't understand why the Zoos don't make làrger enclosures for these amazing animals. This is just one of the pet peeves I have against the Zoos.
(They can definitely afford to give them at least a couple of acres, even 1 acre would be nice, of land to roam on! Instead of a box!!!)
Семья Момотаро- очень красивые!
Smart of the baby to use the ball as a back massage🙃
I love the Momotaro`s family very much ❤❤❤😊
Ça n'a pas l'air d'être la grande forme pour notre petite famille aujourd'hui. 😢. Heureusement papa Momotaro et grand frère Gentaro veillent.💜💛🧡
Thank you for explaining everything.👏🇺🇸❤️
We’re you able to hear the sound? Kintaro started screaming just before Momotaro went outside of the box.
Quizás kintaro se lastima su piernita...💔😔
I wish Mo had a mate like DJ who loved him. He’s missed the fun part of mating.
Yeah, well, he wouldn‘t ever have mated if Genki hadn‘t seduced him and taught him all the ropes.☺
@@katewaterbaby Yep! She’s a “trooper” for sure!😉
This is heartbreaking these animals look depressed, they should have plenty’s of room to move around and also fresh air. I don’t like zoos. I get they’re protecting them but there must be better ways
They were born and raised in captivity. They know nothing else and would not last long if set free
I hope baby kintaro is getting meds for his pain ? Poor little guy...💖💖💖😢😭
Nothing. He is alright.
@@Gorilla-Life , I'm glad he's ok..💖
I wish they could be out in the wild
ALL I GOTTA SAY IS THESE PRECIOUS CREATURES BETTER BE TAKEN CARE OF..IF THEY GET SICK TAKE CARE OF IT , IF THEY GET INJURED YOU BETTER TAKE CARE OF IT,, TREAT THESE GUYS RIGHT AND DO RIGHT BY THEM.
His beauty takes my breath❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Eine wunderbare Familie, in ihrer kleinen, aber heilen Welt.

上野のゴリラさんは大根の可食部を歯で皮をむいて食べていました。京都のゴリラさんは大根も人参も葉っぱの切り落としをもらっていることが多いですね。
Genki's love for Kintaro is so heart-warming! The way she embraces him and rubs her face on his head.... 😍😍
Yes, absolutely. Especially when she mates with him! People, we are talking about animals not humans!
gentaro is so beautiful
Kintaro realmente sente seu machucado pois se movimenta muito pouco perto de sua correria habitual. Tudo está mudando em Gentaro menos o olhar sempre tão expressivo!
