That was a good video and made me laugh when he started looking to see if any of the keepers were watching when food was thrown to him. The gorilla knew he was not to be fed but of course "stupid people" don't listen and do it anyways. The gorilla doesn't understand why he is not to be fed just that he is not supposed to.

I agree with you! He’s phenomenal.

Gisel Simon-I just watched it again.i love how he purses his mouth when he hoots!!I am still smiling.hope you are well& safe.take care!!!😉❤🐵❤😎

Have you ever met Momotaro?

MOST DEFINITELY!!! I want to hear more!

💖💞💋💓👣✌️🧚😏

Oh but that leg kick while drumming 😍🤗 It's just fantastic!

@@GiselSimon love the leg lift. ✌

Nederlands onderonsje hier..😂

He sure plays to the crowd. He looks mean and scary but I think he enjoys the reactions of his audience. He’s the star of the zoo. He even break dances

Yeah l rembermber King Kong Peter jackson 2005 movie

How ignorant can you get. All the Gorillas want is out of that terrable place. Would you like to be locked up for the rest of your life?

@@harpermacenzi9483 don't call other people ignorant please,of course it would be better if they were in nature...but it is difficult there too. They can get killed,hunted or see their habitat getting slowly destroyed. I get your point,but at least they are safe.

Exactly right you are. Most people think that because this enclosure is better then the old one, that it’s so great. It’s hideous, absolutely nothing natural here. Something you think you would see in a communist country, but not in Japan, shame on the zoo.

Yes Its Right poor guy Gorilla :-(

The rope i think was too fragile for his weight!

Maybe give them the finger?

Need more females, too lonesome. Not much of an environment.

Shabani is not happy at all. Don't you know anything about Gorillas?

He's not playing. Hese banging the glass because hese so miserable and frustrated in that zoo.Cant you see those poor Gorillas should never ever bee in zoos.

Gorillas, actually most animals, do not like to be stared at. A silverback gorillas sees staring as a threat. A challenge to his leadership. It must annoy him. I really wish the windows can be tinted to we can see the gorillas but they cannot see us. It would give them a sense of privacy.

@@harpermacenzi9483 it's right :'(

The staff dont care that much.

@@harpermacenzi9483 No offence, but that was a ignorant thing to say. Of course the staff care! You can see these animal's are healthy. The amount of play show's happiness. It certainly doesn't look like they are going hungry. Large Alpha Silver Back Gorillas are extremely powerfull and smart. And in case you hadn't noticed, Shabani isn't the only Gorilla in there. There are numerous juveniles who don't have the balance of the adults. Those are the one's the staff are protecting. I just can't beleive you said that!

@Semper Fi Mr Marine, I have had the pleasure of working with Gorillas. And some of the big cat's. Before you intentionally insult someone, try to use some of the brains God gave you more of than animals! Acting like a Neanderthal Jar Head isn't a good look for you!

@@marshamoore8385 swop place's with the gorilla and see if u like been caged and stared at all day no privisie.

@@marshamoore8385 💯 % if it was other zoos like the one where Momontero family is.I could understand but this family

I think it's because women are wired to be attracted to alphas, and what's the most alpha looking thing in the jungle? Gorrilla.

David del Toro-i Bosch i is a woman.🐵😉

@@BrosCrypto No way it's as simple as that lol. You ever see the Show Going Ape? It's about ape sanctuaries in Cameroon. Other than the local rangers, all the gorilla and chimp doctors were women.

@@BrosCrypto Yeah... except in gorillas, it's not dominance, but threat assessment and protection. The most dominant member of any given troop is usually the oldest female, although females are known to compete with each other for dominance, so a younger, stronger female may depose the oldest one. And recent researchers (armed with discreet remote cameras that don't impact animal behavior _as much_ as the presence of a human observer) are findng that females are far more aggressive than males. A silverback spends more time trying to settle disputes between females than trying to defend from outside threats. Also, humans are more closely related to chimps and bonobos than gorillas. Neither has an alpha male, and females of both species try to gain status through social cooperation with higher-ranking females, rather than with high-ranking males. So assuming that women or men are "wired a certain way" based on animal behavior is kind of an outdated mindset among biologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists. It'd be like claiming that we're "wired to be matriarchal because bonobos are," and that's just... it's not the way any of this works. Humans are not bonobos, or chimps, or gorillas, and our social structure is far too complex and nuanced to use other species as justification for certain societal trends and cultural mindsets.

I’m a man and I’m fascinated with gorillas. I love watching these videos. I’m not gay though.
