Aww they don't understand the noise and vibrations. Momotaro has to be super alert because he's the leader of the family so I'm sure it stresses him out the most. I wish they'd let them inside during the thunder and rain. No one wants to be out in that!
⚡️🌧 Momotaro family is don’t like and afraid thunder rainy day 😔. In fact, the zoo no much space but can try to add a simple transparent cover to the high area, so that they have a place to shelter from the rain. 11:10 Because I was so scared to see the moment when Momotaro almost fell from a height just to avoid the rain 😩.
Great video showing how the family react in a thunderstorm. I don't like to be outside when there's lightning and thunder either, so I completely get their reactions. So glad Momotaro was able to catch himself when he slipped on the wet beam. Genki is already a nervous and anxious type, so it was very distressing seeing her so upset. And all Gentaro wanted was to be comforted by his mom in the storm. So glad they were allowed to go inside early.
In the wild they can take shelter... here they are out in the open getting rained on, feeling exposed. It is not their choice to be in this zoo you must consider these things for their well being.
Poor Genki - she was shaking in fear. Thank you so much for subtitles. Makes video much more interesting. I am surprised the family didn't all huddle together for comfort. Terrific video. Thank you
Sally Marsilio I agree, I wished they huddled too but they were all freaked out, bless them all, especially Mother Genki❗She does her distressed hand gestures when she's stressed, impatient, or anxiety, love her and her family 💞🤗🦍🌿💖 like crazy❗

This was hard to watch .especially at the end were dad slipped and thank God he caught himself.. poor Momotaro.. thanks for opening the doors for them❣💞🤗
Felt the same. Thank you this much for your comment! Hugs to you. Poor Momotaro... He is so young and all he wants is to be a good silverback which protects his troop. .. They are not very lucky with these keepers. The keepers may no it is just a thunderstorm and will not automatically kill the apes. But the apes fear it will happen. And they apes are what counts. You can change each keeper. But you cannot change one of the poor apes.
I think the zoo should bring them inside anytime there is lightning in the area. Heck, they stop major sporting events for lightning but the zoo lets the gorillas sit out on steel beams? I seriously hope the zoo has thought about the possibility of lightning strikes and has some kind of system installed to divert them.
My heart goes out to them. This had to be a continuous and loud thunder one after another that they all got afraid. Remember there were other occasions where Genki was protecting both sons and comforted them and Momotaro sit still far from behaving as what we saw in this video running around like crazy. May be the previous thunders were not as bad but this one was really loud and went on and on. I hope the zoo after seeing this video came up with a good plan to protect my beloved gorillas. May God protect the weak and helpless, Amen.
I’m sure the keepers rushed the cleaning and food distribution so they can open doors quickly. No one thought it was about to storm 🤷♀️ . Poor genki was shaking in fear 😢
I really wish they would build them a new place ☹️ this is not right you can tell they are all frightened! I hate them to be out in bad weather they need covered shelter outside! Someplace they can go when they are cleaning or putting food out! Also the outside needs redone more grass more room. Shabani and Haoko place copy one of those. and he almost fell from it being so wet so obviously it’s slippery and NOT safe so change things for them please! I’d contribute this is my favorite silverback 🤗
Why don't they open the doors and let them in since they're fearful of thunder and it creates anxiety for the gorillas? They have 2 separate rooms for them...at least open one room so they can get in and feel safe. watching them afraid and anxious is not amusing nor entertainment. Besides, all those metal beams could be struck by lightening. All of these gorillas were born in zoo's and don't know how to react to thunder since they never experienced it in their natural habitat...so they're afraid of it and have nowhere to go unless the caretakers let them in.
Sad, I think they lock the doors when they are cleaning the room and putting out food for them. They need to build something outside to keep them dry and safe. I hope they do it soon. Very upsetting seeing them so terrified.
@@maryeddy4871 I agree...that's a great idea. Also, all 4 of the gorillas climb up to the ceiling to retrieve food and of course Kintaro likes to hang using one arm and kick his feet...those beams must get very slick & slippery.

Thank you very much for your beautiful videos videographer ❗ And for explaining thoroughly why the gorillas cannot go inside yet. Most of us don't understand all the tremendous hard work and preparation and loving care for these wonderful animals💖🥇❗ Everyone worries about them very much in thunderstorms, I'm so glad to know you explained about the safety beams during thunder/lightning so the gorillas will not get hurt❗🤗🦍Just wish they can add protective roofs or covers for them during heavy rainstorms! Poor Precious Mother Genki gets very distressed and stressed out🌧🌩🦍😮😲😵❗
In that moment I know this gorilla family was like "forget tidying up and the food, we want shelter from this terrifying sound." Gosh! It felt like eternity for them to get access to go inside. They should also have some type of shelter outside for rain or sun.
That was fascinating! African gorillas live with rain and thunder regularly, so I can't imagine them freaking out like Momotaro and Genki. But interestingly, I believe that Momotaro thought he had to protect his family from the thunder, and so stayed out longer.
Oh my god!!! What a nature!! Whole family was scattered running here & there... momataro disturbed .. confused.. running all over oh my wat a scene!!genki protecting her little one.. trembling, panicked.. poor mom.. murmured to herself!!!.. our young man gentaro seek support his mom!!!? But in vain.. watever said & done the family stayed to gether our hero after is so disturbed of thunder .. he moved in... god bless this family
@@はしまる動画 In other zoos gorillas roam freely between the outdoor and indoor enclosures. Your gorillas do not live well! They don't have enough space and enrichments. Be ashamed!
@@tanyaberkovich6149 I normally do not like to see all the complaining against the Zoo. But really- I have to admit each word from you is pure Gold ; ( If you're not able to care for an animal in a proper way, you cannot have it. Simple as that. No matter if you are a normal citizen, or may you be a Zoo in an old Emperor's city.
Fanny Davidson, Yes, we all feel the same, I do feel a bit better knowing the videographer explained they have safety lightning proof rods, beams, for the animals safety! Thank goodness! I just wished they can build a shelter to keep the poor family 💞🤗🦍🌿💖 dry during the heavy thunderstorms, ASAP, some kind of covering❗👏They may have funding issues!🤔Or something?? Space obviously! Also, they are cleaning & getting the gorillas food ready so they cannot let them in yet... 😕
Fanny 😔it was so heartbreaking! I cannot look and see the fear of a soul I like. I am sure Momotaro did hurt himself. He is so heavy, and he fell with his soft tummy with all of his weight with a kind of flight on that hard metal beam. He could even get inner injuries. Poor ape.
@@williamsmith666 why do you have to call people "idiots" because we're expressing a little empathy for the gorillas? Just because you feel one way doesn't mean everybody else's opinions make them "idiots." These gorilla's were all born in this zoo except Momotaro who was born in captivity at another zoo. So everything that they need is based upon what the zookeepers do or provide for them. Most everyone has stated genuine concern because they were not born in the wild and all of their captive behavior is learned as well. It's not just the rain and thunder that people are worried about, it's all those metal beams that they climb, sit, lay on 24/7 that could be struck by lightning. So instead of calling people names, maybe try to respect other people's concerns instead of calling us "idiots."
Couldnt watch the whole thing!remember this day.was too hard to watch my sister, Genki, shaking.glad they let them in.could have been right away though.😣
Lynn Gold I feel so sad, bad for them ❗ Especially poor precious Genki! She does her hand gestures when she is very stressed, or impatient!! Bless all of them. Maybe they can build them an outdoor area with a roof for their safety soon, those thunderstorms can be dangerous, I freak out too when I hear/see thunder & 🌩 lightning when I'm out in my own backyards, even my German Shepherds sense danger❗I sure do love this precious Momotaro and Genki Family ❗

When Momotaro fell my heart is fell too!! Gosh 😅 Momotaro, he such a real Silverback!! Normally he will enters the room first, but this moment he is the last one who enters although he is scaring. 🦍
I would like to say my gratitude to the keepers..thank you for keeping this family safe,healthy and happy..I am sure u loved them more than we loved them....please understand our sentiments sometimes ..Its reasonable for us to react the way how we reacted on this film we can't see what's behind that door...but for sure we all loved them......THANk YOU especially to MS.

God, I Felt So Bad and Concerned For Them All. 😣🥺 But Sorry I Just couldn't Stopped My Laugh, Seeing Momotaro Running On his Two Feet. 😁 Poor Fella. 😌 And 2nd on 10min. You added that short shocking music on Genki's Fearful Face. 😂 That music made Me Laugh. LOVE For Momotaro Family. 💜
I am disappointed that the keepers did not let the gorillas indoors earlier. They know what the weather was going to be. They hate the rain so obviously the flashing of lightening and loud thunder was going to scare them. Seeing them so scared was horrible, I even saw Genki knock on the door to be let in. She also pooped where she was because she was so scared. I know zoo’s have times for doing everything, but sometimes natural doesn’t play along. Gorillas would automatically seek shelter, which they have very little outside. Also being on steel beams in a thunderstorm? No way would I be on that. The other thing that upset me is they opened the middle door KNOWING Momotaro won’t go in there. Why put extra anxiety on him? Don’t get me wrong the keepers do a fantastic job, they always look well and the food they have always look fresh. I just wished they opened the doors earlier, I would put the gorillas first before guests visiting the zoo. It might look funny them running around scared and terrified (in Genki’s case). I however do not. I hope this doesn’t happen again and that the keepers keep an eye on the weather to better prepare. ❤️💋
Amo a la Familia Momotaro están preciosos cada uno con su personalidad Genki tan sumisa y buena Mamá ,Momotaro es muy agresivo quiere acaparar para el sólo la comida! Aveces le pone unas corretiadas a Gentsro y también a Genki pero Kintaro corre a proteger a su Mamá me encanta porque llora!
4:00 she won't leave without her baby...A mom will always be a mom...I can tell now the mom is the one who protects her kids, the dad's protects the females as far as I noticed...
@@williamsmith666 It does storm in jungles. And many wild apes, especially gorillas, have been shown to avoid it or react negatively. Western Chimps for example have sheltered in caves during rainstorms.
Entiendo q no puedan entrar hasta q lo limpien y pongan comida, pero podrían poner una estructura con tejado para lluvia y sol, con espacio para todos.
Omg I would be like Genki underneath the doors " Let me in!!! But noo the zoo has to clean the indoor area, which is understandable because they need it to get clean for sanitary reasons. But, since there is soo much metal, which is a conductor I think the zoo should just stop and let them in.
Anytime there is lightning in the area the zoo should bring ALL animals inside. It's especially reckless of them to leave their gorillas out sitting on those big metal lightning rods. That lightning strike at 5:52 was VERY close -- the lightning and the thunder were almost simultaneous meaning it was probably less than 100 meters away. One lightning strike on that metal roof and you would have had several barbecued gorillas. Not a pleasant thought.
When mom gets upset she shakes her hands or trys to wave for help or action. This family could have been hurt if lighting struck those beams they were all on. Was staff on lunch?
WHY Aren't THEY OPENING THAT SMALL ROOM WITH ALL THE BALLS AND WHERE THE KEEPERS DO STATISTICS. Poor guys are freaking out and panicking and they need to give them shelter!!!!!!!!
I don't know if Momo's reaction was necessarily fear. It could have been his instinct to immediately protect his family kicking in but not knowing exactly what lightning and thunder are he may not have known how to respond or where to go. He looked like he could have been running around in confusion, and his facial expression didn't look like fear to me. Anyway, even if it was fear it isn't fair to say he's afraid of thunder -- he wasn't panicking at the sound of the approaching thunder -- what he was afraid of was a near direct lightning strike, and anyone who's ever been that close to a strike like that will tell you that it's a very jarring experience and there's no shame in being frightened by it.
Omgosh I felt so bad for Momotaro!! Why not open the door they know he will enter as well and why did it take so long to open the doors to begin with?? Genki was terrified and trying to take care of Kintaro at the same time and Gentaro was just trying to find one of his parents to protect him during the storm. So sad watching how scared the family was.
The zookeeper couldn't open the door right away because at that time the zookeeper was in the room to clean the room and prepare the gorillas for dinner. It takes about 10 minutes from sunny weather to a thunderstorm, so a few minutes before the zookeeper leaves the gorilla's room is what happens in this video. The zookeeper let the gorillas enter the room as soon as possible.
@@はしまる動画 thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it! It seemed like it was sooooo long before they allowed them back indoors. I know it’s a bad storm when Momotaro is running around scared.
before I saw this whole video I was thinking of myself when they were running back and forth on the rails that they're slick and they could fall off of them and hurt themselves and Momo just fell he just called himself thank God or he could have gotten hurt I didn't find one thing about this video funny or entertaining.
Roxanna, not all videos have to be funny or entertaining. They can be educational, informative, instructional. They can show unique events or situations that we don't see often. Lowland gorillas spend most of their time up in trees, so under any stressors they will retreat to where they feel most comfortable, that is, up in the heights of their environment. And the rainforest where they live in the wild? It's wet, all day, everyday. Japanese gorillas just are not used to rain since it doesn't rain there that often, & thunders less. Momotaro falling? Natural event. Not likely to hurt himself. He caught himself & got right back on his feet. The gorillas were never in any danger. Scared, yes. That's a part of life, too. They'll learn. PS: using these majestic animals for mere entertainment is a criticism often levied against humans for putting them in zoos & not treating them with due respect. I hope you get something out of these videos other than a few chuckles here & there.
I read the description box and now we knew the reasons why....thank you for the information..I on my part understood now and I think its reasonable the keepers still tdying up the room...and it was nature's call....I myself no need to worry about the lighting because the zoo has a lighting rod....good to know.....but then looking at the brighter picture they are definitely fine....it can be charged to experience it also happen in the wild its normal maybe......🙏🙏🙏
Kimberly Anne, Momotaro doesn't like men in hardhats. The day (October, 2010) he was taken from his mother Momoko, from Ueno zoo, he was sedated by a vet & put into a crate for transport by men in hardhats. That was the last time he ever saw his mom. To this day he gets worked up whenever he sees hardhats. Additionally, the vet used to be his friend. Momotaro hasn't forgiven him & doesn't like him anymore.
Aww they don't understand the noise and vibrations. Momotaro has to be super alert because he's the leader of the family so I'm sure it stresses him out the most. I wish they'd let them inside during the thunder and rain. No one wants to be out in that!

Imagine Momotaro would have fell down in his fear. He would have hurt himself so badly. Only because the keepers arn't interested.
@@winterweib You are so right. A fall from that beam could have been really serious. He was so panicked.
And then while they can run to show to hear they're getting rained on there's no place for them to go
In the wild they can take shelter... here they are out in the open getting rained on, feeling exposed. It is not their choice to be in this zoo you must consider these things for their well being.

I was getting mad, screaming at my phone, "open the door'" I could see the anxiety of Genki which was making me anxious! So glad they opened the door a 2nd time for Momotaro. 💜
AWWWW!! Those sweet babies are terrified! Heartbreaking to see them so scared because they dont know what thunder and lightening is. We humans know and it still scares us, imagine how they feel not knowing. PLEASE KYOTO..Build them a little shed or hut outside that they can go under to at least stay dry when storms hit. The Keepers here are wonderful and I'm sure they hate seeing this family so scared. I know it costs money, but hell, I would contribute to see them have a place to keep dry in stormy weather. PLEASE KYOTO, GIVE THEM A DRY PLACE TO HAVE COMFORT AND KEEP DRY!! THANK YOU! ;-)
AWWWW !!それらの甘い赤ちゃんは恐ろしいです!彼らは雷と雷が何であるかを知らないので、彼らがとても怖いので彼らを見るのは悲惨です。私たち人間は知っていますが、それでも私たちを怖がらせています。京都をご利用ください。嵐が発生したときに少なくとも乾燥した状態を維持できるように、屋外に小さな小屋または小屋を建ててください。ここの飼育係は素晴らしいです、そして、彼らがこの家族がとても怖いのを見るのが嫌いだと私は確信しています。お金がかかることは知っていますが、地獄、荒天時に彼らが乾いた場所にいるのを見るのに貢献したいと思います。**** 雨の中でゴリラを乾いた状態に保つために、京都にゴリラの小屋を建てましょう。どうもありがとうございました!おげんきで。 ;-)
💖💖💖💖💖💖
the hot is a GREAT IDEA IM totally with you they'd def appreciate it ..
@@shelliepoitras2473 , Thank you. I hope they can get them something to keep dry. BE SAFE!
Thank you very much for your beautiful videos videographer ❗ And for explaining thoroughly why the gorillas cannot go inside yet. Most of us don't understand all the tremendous hard work and preparation and loving care for these wonderful animals💖🥇❗ Everyone worries about them very much in thunderstorms, I'm so glad to know you explained about the safety beams during thunder/lightning so the gorillas will not get hurt❗🤗🦍Just wish they can add protective roofs or covers for them during heavy rainstorms! Poor Precious Mother Genki gets very distressed and stressed out🌧🌩🦍😮😲😵❗
In that moment I know this gorilla family was like "forget tidying up and the food, we want shelter from this terrifying sound." Gosh! It felt like eternity for them to get access to go inside. They should also have some type of shelter outside for rain or sun.
Poor Mama Genki's nerves are no good to begin with. This video gave me all the feels for this family.
Genky, está bien mayor, esperamos que la protejan y la cuiden ella es el eje de toda la familia, protegiendo y conciliando. CUÍDENLA POR FAVOR.
Omg let them in she is scared.
You made me cry
Momotaro is magnificent, even when he was just 10.
モモちゃん閉め出しくうところでしたね。
雨で梁がツルリンコ💦
かなり焦ってたようですね。
ゲンキママも本当に怖かったのね😱
大変興味深い動画でした👏
あと数十分、カミナリが来るのが遅かったら怖い目をせずに済んだのですけどね😓
ゲンキは早くどうにかして〜っと感じでその場に震えていて、モモタロウはとにかくこの場から逃げたいと言う感じであっちこっち動いたと感じで両者の性格の違いも出た感じでした。
モモタロウ落ちそうになってるのは滑っただけかもだけど、ちょっと動揺してるのかも😅私も⚡恐怖症だからわかるなぁ~怖すぎて震えて注意散漫になっちゃうの😂
モモタロウが梁の上で滑るのは、かなり珍しいことなので、雷の怖さから動揺していたものだと思いますよ。
モモタロウはシルバーバックとして家族を守るために、雷が怖いのに一番上まで登ってとても勇敢なお父さんだった❤
ゴリラは濡れるのを嫌がるのに、ずっと雨の中、家族のために最後まで警戒を怠らなかった。
慌てて走ってるように見えたあの顔は、トランスフォーマーのゴリラのコンボイみたいだった❤
滑って落ちそうになった時は私も声を上げてしまいました。
Wow!!!! They were very scary! Thank you for the texts and explanation. 🙏
That was fascinating! African gorillas live with rain and thunder regularly, so I can't imagine them freaking out like Momotaro and Genki. But interestingly, I believe that Momotaro thought he had to protect his family from the thunder, and so stayed out longer.
This is seen in wild gorillas too. Mountain gorillas often freak out when it rains.
Western chimps tend to shelter in caves when it storms as well.
@@m.wallace2705 what about lowland gorillas? Don't they live in rainforests where it rains a lot?
Oh my god!!! What a nature!! Whole family was scattered running here & there... momataro disturbed .. confused.. running all over oh my wat a scene!!genki protecting her little one.. trembling, panicked.. poor mom.. murmured to herself!!!.. our young man gentaro seek support his mom!!!? But in vain.. watever said & done the family stayed to gether our hero after is so disturbed of thunder .. he moved in... god bless this family
Poor Genki. She looked like she was losing it.
Poor souls. Can't they open the doors so the Momo family can go inside?
During this time, the zookeepers are in the room for cleaning and preparing the gorillas for dinner, so we can't put them in the room immediately.
@@はしまる動画
In other zoos gorillas roam freely between the outdoor and indoor enclosures. Your gorillas do not live well! They don't have enough space and enrichments. Be ashamed!
@@tanyaberkovich6149
I normally do not like to see all the complaining against the Zoo.
But really- I have to admit each word from you is pure Gold ; (
If you're not able to care for an animal in a proper way, you cannot have it.
Simple as that. No matter if you are a normal citizen, or may you be a Zoo in an old Emperor's city.
@@tanyaberkovich6149 Agreed 100% Shabani family wouldn't be left in the storm
@@winterweib Asians...kind of have a horrible history and habit of not caring about the animal kingdom.
That's not racist; it's an unfortunate fact.
I wish they would’ve opened the doors earlier before it got out of hand. They were terrified and confused by the time the doors did Open! 😢🧐❤️
If only humans were as kind to their children as this beautiful family are just love them
I enjoyed yet another video THANK you,
Me he vuelto adicta a esta familia de Momotaro, me agrada verlos cada uno tiene su propio carácter pero me encantan.
THIS VIDEO IS VERY SAD! STUPID KEEPER!! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR FOR THE FAMILY!!!
Fanny Davidson,
Yes, we all feel the same, I do feel a bit better knowing the videographer explained they have safety lightning proof rods, beams, for the animals safety! Thank goodness! I just wished they can build a shelter to keep the poor family 💞🤗🦍🌿💖 dry during the heavy thunderstorms, ASAP, some kind of covering❗👏They may have funding issues!🤔Or something?? Space obviously! Also, they are cleaning & getting the gorillas food ready so they cannot let them in yet... 😕
Fanny 😔it was so heartbreaking!
I cannot look and see the fear of a soul I like.
I am sure Momotaro did hurt himself. He is so heavy, and he fell with his soft tummy with all of his weight with a kind of flight on that hard metal beam. He could even get inner injuries. Poor ape.
@Jayne Eyre No kidding; idiots think they've never dealt with rain and thunder before...
Maybe they needed this time to clean the indoor area.
Don’t assume the “Care takers” would do anything to harm the animals.
@@williamsmith666 why do you have to call people "idiots" because we're expressing a little empathy for the gorillas? Just because you feel one way doesn't mean everybody else's opinions make them "idiots." These gorilla's were all born in this zoo except Momotaro who was born in captivity at another zoo. So everything that they need is based upon what the zookeepers do or provide for them. Most everyone has stated genuine concern because they were not born in the wild and all of their captive behavior is learned as well. It's not just the rain and thunder that people are worried about, it's all those metal beams that they climb, sit, lay on 24/7 that could be struck by lightning. So instead of calling people names, maybe try to respect other people's concerns instead of calling us "idiots."
Couldnt watch the whole thing!remember this day.was too hard to watch my sister, Genki, shaking.glad they let them in.could have been right away though.😣
Lynn Gold
I feel so sad, bad for them ❗ Especially poor precious Genki! She does her hand gestures when she is very stressed, or impatient!! Bless all of them. Maybe they can build them an outdoor area with a roof for their safety soon, those thunderstorms can be dangerous, I freak out too when I hear/see thunder & 🌩 lightning when I'm out in my own backyards, even my German Shepherds sense danger❗I sure do love this precious Momotaro and Genki Family ❗
rosa2dogs-it gets me anxious just remembering Genki with her hands.my rabbits[btw-I have 2 bunny boys]-they don't like the storms either.they have super hearing& they sometimes do the thump when they are scared.i hope after this experience the zoo will make a provision for them if it happens again.i love this troop so much& have a connection with Genki like a sister.i have had my issues too& my empathy is great.always wonderful to see you in The comment section.you are 1 of my GGs.[gorilla girls.]have I invited you to our group yet?

Genki held it down even being afraid and anxious!
I know it was to hear the thunder but l found it much better without the music.
I have just found your channel!! What a intense video. I found all the information so interesting . Bless their hearts . I love this precious family .😬😔🧡❤🧡
You'll get hooked.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I feel so bad for Genki and the boys. Genki is terrified. The zoo keepers need to do better!
Woooww Dad is very uneasy He already has Them 3 to attend and keep guard.
Took them long enough to open the door! Jeez!
I agree. I was getting angry. Momo almost fell, and Genki was shaking.
When Momotaro fell my heart is fell too!! Gosh 😅
Momotaro, he such a real Silverback!! Normally he will enters the room first, but this moment he is the last one who enters although he is scaring. 🦍
ビビリと言われるモモタロウ、ビビリなのがよく分かる動画。
ありがとうございます。
Kintaro looking like he daddy
Mom is stressed out so bad she's going to have a damn heart attack
I would like to say my gratitude to the keepers..thank you for keeping this family safe,healthy and happy..I am sure u loved them more than we loved them....please understand our sentiments sometimes ..Its reasonable for us to react the way how we reacted on this film we can't see what's behind that door...but for sure we all loved them......THANk YOU especially to MS. HINA.....we have seen her and its obvious that she loves them....🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🦍🦍🦍🦍
Thanks for English subtitles!
Momo the magnificent 💚💛💚💛
I feel for poor Genki at 8:30, it looks to me as if she has no idea what the heck the booming noise is and appears to be traumatized by it all.
God, I Felt So Bad and Concerned For Them All. 😣🥺 But Sorry I Just couldn't Stopped My Laugh, Seeing Momotaro Running On his Two Feet. 😁 Poor Fella. 😌 And 2nd on 10min. You added that short shocking music on Genki's Fearful Face. 😂 That music made Me Laugh. LOVE For Momotaro Family. 💜
I am disappointed that the keepers did not let the gorillas indoors earlier. They know what the weather was going to be. They hate the rain so obviously the flashing of lightening and loud thunder was going to scare them. Seeing them so scared was horrible, I even saw Genki knock on the door to be let in. She also pooped where she was because she was so scared. I know zoo’s have times for doing everything, but sometimes natural doesn’t play along. Gorillas would automatically seek shelter, which they have very little outside. Also being on steel beams in a thunderstorm? No way would I be on that. The other thing that upset me is they opened the middle door KNOWING Momotaro won’t go in there. Why put extra anxiety on him? Don’t get me wrong the keepers do a fantastic job, they always look well and the food they have always look fresh. I just wished they opened the doors earlier, I would put the gorillas first before guests visiting the zoo. It might look funny them running around scared and terrified (in Genki’s case). I however do not. I hope this doesn’t happen again and that the keepers keep an eye on the weather to better prepare. ❤️💋
Aww they don't understand this family are so precious
I am SURE, this is not the first time in their life they have heard thunder!!! Video person stop being so extra!
Gorillas and apes in general are naturally scared of thunder.
Even wild apes have resorted to sheltering in nearby caves during storms.
Amo a la Familia Momotaro están preciosos cada uno con su personalidad Genki tan sumisa y buena Mamá ,Momotaro es muy agresivo quiere acaparar para el sólo la comida! Aveces le pone unas corretiadas a Gentsro y también a Genki pero Kintaro corre a proteger a su Mamá me encanta porque llora!
10:24 is a trivia....Wow they really are in order...I'm amazed that was awesome of momotaro
Animals are smarter than humans and understand the power of nature - no wonder they don’t like thunder.
4:00 she won't leave without her baby...A mom will always be a mom...I can tell now the mom is the one who protects her kids, the dad's protects the females as far as I noticed...
Why not open the door so they can go in? I don't know any human that just want to stand in the rain.😞
It is not like they have a whole jungle to get away.
@@sandyg5103 and it's not like it doesn't rain or storm on a jungle.
Wait...
@@williamsmith666 It does storm in jungles. And many wild apes, especially gorillas, have been shown to avoid it or react negatively. Western Chimps for example have sheltered in caves during rainstorms.
@@m.wallace2705 smart of the chimps. Chimps are pretty smart. So what's so special about that? I think most animals seek shelter in the rain.
Not even the mighty gorilla can stand to nature’s literal wrath
Omg they could have opened another door for him so sad feel so bad for them
Me encanta Gentaro, cuando pone esa carita de niño bueno como si fuese un angelito 😍👏👌 jajaja jajajajaja jajajajaja
It was so wrong to leave them out in that so long,they had nowhere to go and scared out of their minds
Entiendo q no puedan entrar hasta q lo limpien y pongan comida, pero podrían poner una estructura con tejado para lluvia y sol, con espacio para todos.
why not let them go in?? Genki was shaking, put them through stress when they could have went indoors, thats sad!!
Mama anxiety is making me kintaro more afraid..
If it's lighting they should let the family in .. it's not safe to be on metal when lighting it could kill them
These gorillas need a more updated secure enclosure
アハハハ~("⌒∇⌒")
笑ってごめんなさい~モモタロウパパがこんなに走りまわつてるし、ゲンキママの恐怖にひきつってる顔が~(笑)雷は誰でもみんな怖いてすね~一足早くお部屋に、めでたし、めでたしでしたね~!☺
飼育員さん曰く、モモタロウはイカツイカオスに似合わずビビリらしいので、怖かったでしょうね。
Omg I would be like Genki underneath the doors " Let me in!!! But noo the zoo has to clean the indoor area, which is understandable because they need it to get clean for sanitary reasons. But, since there is soo much metal, which is a conductor I think the zoo should just stop and let them in.
Anytime there is lightning in the area the zoo should bring ALL animals inside. It's especially reckless of them to leave their gorillas out sitting on those big metal lightning rods. That lightning strike at 5:52 was VERY close -- the lightning and the thunder were almost simultaneous meaning it was probably less than 100 meters away. One lightning strike on that metal roof and you would have had several barbecued gorillas. Not a pleasant thought.
かわいそうに。あれだけ雷と雨だから出来たら早く中に入れて欲しいですね。もちろん中では掃除などしていて早くと思ってるんだろうけど。
It's very good of u to show how animals reacted to thunder
They are on metal beams for heaven’s sake with LIGHTNING!
Coitadinhos! Porque as portas do abrigo não foram abertas? Da pena ver Genki.
WHY did Momotaro climb UP towards the sounds ?? To confront the threat ??
When mom gets upset she shakes her hands or trys to wave for help or action. This family could have been hurt if lighting struck those beams they were all on. Was staff on lunch?
There is a lightning rod in the gorilla house.
If your not out there in it why should they????
I was getting very upset, let them side they don’t like the rain and I he thunder scared them. It’s the keepers job to care for them
I don't blame them, the lightning then the loud thunder I would scared too!! Open the door!!
WHY Aren't THEY OPENING THAT SMALL ROOM WITH ALL THE BALLS AND WHERE THE KEEPERS DO STATISTICS. Poor guys are freaking out and panicking and they need to give them shelter!!!!!!!!
Awewww they look scared!
Open the doors so they can go inside they’re freaking out.
I don't know if Momo's reaction was necessarily fear. It could have been his instinct to immediately protect his family kicking in but not knowing exactly what lightning and thunder are he may not have known how to respond or where to go. He looked like he could have been running around in confusion, and his facial expression didn't look like fear to me. Anyway, even if it was fear it isn't fair to say he's afraid of thunder -- he wasn't panicking at the sound of the approaching thunder -- what he was afraid of was a near direct lightning strike, and anyone who's ever been that close to a strike like that will tell you that it's a very jarring experience and there's no shame in being frightened by it.
Wow!!! People don't stay in the rain storm!!! Let them in!!!
Omgosh I felt so bad for Momotaro!! Why not open the door they know he will enter as well and why did it take so long to open the doors to begin with?? Genki was terrified and trying to take care of Kintaro at the same time and Gentaro was just trying to find one of his parents to protect him during the storm. So sad watching how scared the family was.
The zookeeper couldn't open the door right away because at that time the zookeeper was in the room to clean the room and prepare the gorillas for dinner.
It takes about 10 minutes from sunny weather to a thunderstorm, so a few minutes before the zookeeper leaves the gorilla's room is what happens in this video.
The zookeeper let the gorillas enter the room as soon as possible.
@@はしまる動画 thank you for letting me know! I appreciate it! It seemed like it was sooooo long before they allowed them back indoors. I know it’s a bad storm when Momotaro is running around scared.
9:58 The sound effects.....I just can't. 😂
Why didn't they just let them inside
夏でも冬でも雨宿りする場所がない。パニックは事故のもとかも。
モモタロウが梁の上にいる時の場所は雨よけの透明な屋根がついていますよ。ただ雨が降ったらモモタロウがこの場所を独り占めするため、ゲンキとゲンタロウは雨が当たらない壁にへばり付くか、部屋の出入口の扉の前で雨をしのぐことが多いです。
before I saw this whole video I was thinking of myself when they were running back and forth on the rails that they're slick and they could fall off of them and hurt themselves and Momo just fell he just called himself thank God or he could have gotten hurt I didn't find one thing about this video funny or entertaining.
Roxanna, not all videos have to be funny or entertaining. They can be educational, informative, instructional. They can show unique events or situations that we don't see often.
Lowland gorillas spend most of their time up in trees, so under any stressors they will retreat to where they feel most comfortable, that is, up in the heights of their environment. And the rainforest where they live in the wild? It's wet, all day, everyday. Japanese gorillas just are not used to rain since it doesn't rain there that often, & thunders less.
Momotaro falling? Natural event. Not likely to hurt himself. He caught himself & got right back on his feet.
The gorillas were never in any danger. Scared, yes. That's a part of life, too. They'll learn.
PS: using these majestic animals for mere entertainment is a criticism often levied against humans for putting them in zoos & not treating them with due respect. I hope you get something out of these videos other than a few chuckles here & there.
surely all that metal is not good to be around in a storm
I read the description box and now we knew the reasons why....thank you for the information..I on my part understood now and I think its reasonable the keepers still tdying up the room...and it was nature's call....I myself no need to worry about the lighting because the zoo has a lighting rod....good to know.....but then looking at the brighter picture they are definitely fine....it can be charged to experience it also happen in the wild its normal maybe......🙏🙏🙏
Mariela, yes, normal.
I feel them... Because me too is scared of the thunder.. And specially lightning. Omg.
Poor thing it's true thunder r scary for animals as said earlier the dog died of fright
Why won’t you let them in knowing that they are afraid out there??? It’s kinda cruel right????
The stress on his face is maybe is a flashback, perhaps it’s when he was taken from his own mother.
Thunder = bad memory.
Momotaro's Mom is still alive, her name is Momoko and she now the wife of Silverback Haoko. They live in Ueno Zoo and have 3 other kids with him.
Kimberly Anne, Momotaro doesn't like men in hardhats. The day (October, 2010) he was taken from his mother Momoko, from Ueno zoo, he was sedated by a vet & put into a crate for transport by men in hardhats. That was the last time he ever saw his mom. To this day he gets worked up whenever he sees hardhats.
Additionally, the vet used to be his friend. Momotaro hasn't forgiven him & doesn't like him anymore.
