- 今回の動画は、その日晴れていたのに突然の雷を伴う大雨で驚くゴリラ達の動画になります。
普段、あまり二足歩行で歩かないモモタロウが二足歩行でうろうろしたり、梁から落ちそうになったりと、本当に雷が怖いみたいでした。
ゲンキもかなり、恐怖心からか震えていて雷が怖かった様です。
The video this time is a video of gorillas who were surprised by the heavy rain accompanied by a sudden thunder although it was sunny that day.
Momotaro, who normally doesn't walk on two legs, wanders around on two legs or falls off a beam, so it seems like he's really scared of thunder.
Genki seemed to be trembling because of fear, and he was afraid of thunder.
Some people wrote in the comment section, "Why gorillas are afraid of lightning, and why zookeepers do not evacuate gorillas to their rooms?"
I shot this video at 3:00 pm and about 30 minutes left, the gorillas were planning to go home.There are several reasons for that.
As a result, the gorilla's room was put in by the zookeeper to clean and prepare dinner, and it was not possible to put the gorillas in the room immediately for safety.
In addition, it was sunny this day, and there were only tens of minutes until thunder and rain, and we could not immediately evacuate the gorillas to the room.
As for the danger of lightning, it is all right because there are lightning rods installed in the zoo main building and the gorilla house.
Due to thunder and rain, the keeper completed the preparation of the room early and evacuated the gorillas to an indoor room earlier than usual.

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!
モモタロウさん w w wゲンキさんも震えてゴリラfamilyパニック🦍💨
怖がるなか、ママに突き放されたゲンタロウが可哀想でした😭😳
モモタロウ が1番パニクってる！ごめん、笑っちゃう😁。
ゲンキは雷⚡️と言うより雨⛈が嫌そう。まぁ、モモタロウ はどっも苦手。
動物園には避雷針はあるだろうけど、雷⚡️が近くなったら部屋が安全だから、早く入れてあげたいなぁ。
凄くNICEな動画です、何度も見ちゃう👍。
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.
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.
No me gusta que para crear show, se valgan del terror de los gorilas. Es insensible😞
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❗
雷も怖かったけど、お父さんが滑って落ちそうになった時、一瞬心臓がドキッとしました(;°;ω;°;)
Poor Genki... I wish there was something they could do to help relieve her anxiety.
I know they are all afraid of the thunder, but we all know that Genki's anxiety issues are pretty serious.
Love this family so much.
❤️🦍☀️⛈️🌈
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.
⚡️🌧 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 😩.
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.
*AMEN* to you both!
@@winterweib , Thank you. Stay safe! ;-)
@@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. It would be a real tragedy if one of them loses their grip or footing because of the wet beams.
@@thefierceone27 , YES!!! Forgot that. Yes, they do slip often and hate seeing them so scared. I hope they get a shed for them. They really hate the rain and they would feel so much safer with a place to huddle under together to stay dry. Fingers crossed! Stay safe!
Can the keepers let them in out of the heavy rain and thunder?This must be stressful for them
What do you think Gorillas do in Wild?
@@aquarianlight1880 they have more protection in the wild
@@laurieleblanc2552 your right in regards to it not being safe when there is lightening. There is soo much metal on those beams
@@aquarianlight1880 finally you realized 👏👏
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.
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 😢
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 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 🤗
Same here, Kim!
Likewise!
Thunder is scary if you do not understand where that booming is coming from. And lightening is scary too! It made me sad to see them all so stressed.
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。
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🌧🌩🦍😮😲😵❗
Omg let them in she is scared.
You made me cry
Poor Mama Genki's nerves are no good to begin with. This video gave me all the feels for this family.
Momotaro is magnificent, even when he was just 10.
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
Me he vuelto adicta a esta familia de Momotaro, me agrada verlos cada uno tiene su propio carácter pero me encantan.
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.
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。
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!
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. 💜
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.
Wow!!!! They were very scary! Thank you for the texts and explanation. 🙏
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.
@@user-yt6gy2nx6m
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.
'If Gorillas curse in their language, Momotaro had to be cursing @ 7:00! I can hear him thinking..."What kind of S*** is this?!! Open those damn doors before I bust one open!! WTF??!!! Sounds like bombs going off!" Poor babies.;-( Genki is a nervous wreck. She was shaking and making hand gestures. She seemed on the edge of nervous breakdown. ;-(
「ゴリラが自分たちの言葉で呪う場合、桃太郎は7:00に呪いをかけなければなりませんでした！私は彼が考えるのを聞くことができます...「これはどのようなS ***ですか？!!私がバストを開く前にそれらのくそーのドアを開けてください!! WTF ?? !!!爆弾が鳴っているように聞こえます！」貧しい赤ちゃん。;-(
She has bady in her hand
@@judybourns6842 , I know, Kintaro must be more nervous seeing his Mom freaking out. Sad seeing them so scared. Maybe they will build a shed for them for when the weather is stormy. At least they could keep dry and feel safer with a roof over their head protecting them from the elements.
@@maryeddy4871
Absolutely agree, I feel so bad sad for all of them, especially, Mother Genki, poor precious thing❗🦍🌩🌧😵😮😲She does her gestures when she's stressed, distressed, upset, anxiety, impatient, bless her, they need to fix that ASAP❗Mother Genki is not a spring chicken, she should be spoiled, she been through so much anxiety in the past. Love these beautiful gorilla family 💞🤗🦍🌿💖🌸
@@rosa2dogs , YES! You are 100% correct. Her age, anxiety, and how she has tendency to self harm in the past should have her spoiled for how far she has come. She is a very nervous female, sadly. I love this staff and know they love this family. But, they cannot control $ the Zoo will and can put into building a structure to keep them safe and dry in bad weather. I know many Zoo's are suffering money wise having to shut down with virus. But, im sure they could find a company who would build or donate a shed for them. I just hope they can soon because I hate seeing the Gorillas so stressed because they dont know what the noise means and they are terrified. At least with a shed they could keep dry and comfort each other and feel safer when lightening hits. Poor Genki, I thought she was going to stroke out. She cannot handle stress and trying to keep her baby safe is just too much for the old gal. Fingers crossed for them. Thank you for the kind and beautiful comment. PLEASE stay safe dear and thanks again. ;-)
😂😂😂🤣My thoughts exactly!! 😂😂😂😂
Poor Genki. She looked like she was losing it.
If only humans were as kind to their children as this beautiful family are just love them
Took them long enough to open the door! Jeez!
I agree. I was getting angry. Momo almost fell, and Genki was shaking.
ももちゃん、怖かったね😢見ていて切なくなりました
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?
5:53 😳 I've never heard thunder that loud. Momotaro looked like he was trying to be calm as to not panic the others but I feel like his fear took over a little. Poor thing.
[Edit: I originally/accidentally called him Shabani. I'm watching way too many different beautiful gorilla families consecutively, my bad!]
Momo the magnificent 💚💛💚💛
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! 😢🧐❤️
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!
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.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Woooww Dad is very uneasy He already has Them 3 to attend and keep guard.
I know it was to hear the thunder but l found it much better without the music.
Thanks for English subtitles!
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?

Coitadinhos! Porque as portas do abrigo não foram abertas? Da pena ver Genki.
It's very good of u to show how animals reacted to thunder
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....🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤🦍🦍🦍🦍
10:24 is a trivia....Wow they really are in order...I'm amazed that was awesome of momotaro
Aww they don't understand this family are so precious
Me encanta Gentaro, cuando pone esa carita de niño bueno como si fuese un angelito 😍👏👌 jajaja jajajajaja jajajajaja
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.
Super!!
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。
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.
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.
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.
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.
Awewww they look scared!
Is there additional mental stimulation for the magnificent gorillas?
I feel them... Because me too is scared of the thunder.. And specially lightning. Omg.
Kintaro looking like he daddy
I enjoyed yet another video THANK you,
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.
Hello, I have a question, do you guys have that steel grounded? I'd worry about lightening strikes on the metal .
The gorilla's house has a lightning rod on the roof, so it's okay.
Also, since Japan is originally a country with many lightning strikes, lightning rods are installed in public facilities and buildings of a certain height, so lightning strikes rarely kill people in the city.
@@user-yt6gy2nx6m thank you very much for answering. I figured you guys had it grounded but I worried about that every time I watched a video with it storming. Merry Christmas.
its official n MOMO is Znot digging the thundering def not the rain...do they go in?excellent slomo of his facial expression...I imagine how he sounded saying its frikin a downpour
Omg they could have opened another door for him so sad feel so bad for them
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...
Wow!!! People don't stay in the rain storm!!! Let them in!!!
Jajaja la cara de Momotaro y fe Genki de Miedo a los rayos y truenos!
It looks like excitement for Momotaro more than fear? He could have gone inside when all his family did but he stayed out a little longer than necessary. A little naturally induced stress like this thunderstorm is not necessarily bad for the Gorillas’ brains, if it doesn’t last too long or happens often.
Paddlefar, Great comment! Thank you.
Se já tinha pouco espaço pra que Genki teve mais dois?, Deus proteje os animais também .
They said he wouldn’t go in bc the middle door opened & not the first door. Is they a difference where the doors lead to?
Point was not to "Beat the fear".
Love you all.
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."
I feel so bad for Genki and the boys. Genki is terrified. The zoo keepers need to do better!
WHY did Momotaro climb UP towards the sounds ?? To confront the threat ??
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. ❤️💋
Do the beams attract lightening or is it safe
It was so wrong to leave them out in that so long,they had nowhere to go and scared out of their minds
Mom is stressed out so bad she's going to have a damn heart attack
Not even the mighty gorilla can stand to nature’s literal wrath
These gorillas need a more updated secure enclosure
If it's lighting they should let the family in .. it's not safe to be on metal when lighting it could kill them
why not let them go in?? Genki was shaking, put them through stress when they could have went indoors, thats sad!!
Omg they are soo scared
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.
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
Wow
If the zoo is that low on money why don't you have a fundraiser video like I've seen other zoos do
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.
If they were afraid then why didn't they bring them inside?
Have they not heard thunder before?
Yes, but in this case it seems that it was very near & went on for quite a while.
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.
@@user-yt6gy2nx6m 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.
If your not out there in it why should they????
Why the zoo don't open the door for them to get in?
Poor thing it's true thunder r scary for animals as said earlier the dog died of fright
If they were in the wild they would get somewhere safe!! OPEN THE DOOR!!😮
