@@tchambers1701 Unfortunately, I think they are safer where they are due to their loss of habitat and uneducated people trying to hurt them. Sad but true.
Is literally amazing just how much of a human they are. I mean they sit there with their hands on their knees, walking around like a little old men. It’s amazing to me.
To the Videographer: It seems Shabani recognizes you - and likes you!!! 🥰 That gentle tap on the glass was a form of acknowledgment rather than a sign of irritation or a warning. I’m quite impressed, because it seems Shabani isn’t very fond us humans, as he usually keeps his distance and encourages the troop to do the same. You must be doing a wonderful job there at the zoo for the world-famous Shabani to have accepted your presence!!! Congratulations 😊
They are so precious they should be allowed to live their birthright in freedom amongst their own kind not imprisoned in zoos for profit and misguided and uninformed humans that consider this entertainment. This is not heartwarming. This is heartbreaking.
@@ChooseCompassion Pls get informed. These as many wild animals are being killed by proachers, trophy hunters, straving from lack of habitat. Mankind is destroying nature. State regulated zoos & sanctuaries are saving these species. Many zoos have breeding programs. The regulated state licensed zoos have large natural terrain for the animals. Thank God we have places that help our dimishing wild life. Pls visit a zoo, or sanctuary that adheres to laws. The animals are with their own kind. Well cared for. Not sure where you're getting your info. Don't confuse licensed facilities with the roadside, or small personal places Those are cruel. And against many state laws.
@@ChooseCompassion That, indeed, would be a wonderful thing. But, a knowledgeable and professional zoo with trained caretakers that has enough room for a gorilla family or families can be a more safe, compassionate, and caring environment than the big bad open world of the most voracious killers on earth - humans. Gorillas are endangered and must be protected from poachers who kill the gorillas in order to sell body parts (like hands for ashtrays) to collectors or sell the babies to people who keep them in their private "zoos" for their amusement. Due to current conditions, people now live in the same areas as the gorillas. People need to eat and so they deforest the land to plant food crops for themselves which removes the food source for the gorillas. People have families to feed, clothes, and house and those needs have led people to kill gorillas for their family to consume or to sell the butchered gorilla parts as bush meat. Until the ever-increasing numbers of people can find a way to live in the same area in harmony with gorillas AND other animals, zoos and no-kill reserves (some have established a tourist opportunity) will be required in order to preserve the existence of these magnificent beings.
What absolutely beautiful animals these creatures are. The attention to the thunder is intelligent. Respectful. Thank you! I enjoyed watching how he brushed the rain on his coat. God bless these animals! ❤️
At first, I thought that D'jeeco was the most playful dad. But, after seeing so many videos of Shabani playing with his children at all ages, I feel so good. Shabani is not only as handsome as Ai is beautiful, but, he truly does love his family. Bonus, the young man even takes showers, lol!❤😂
Shabani is a good male and an inspiration for us all. Thank you for sharing. Let the water quench your thirst and wash you clean. The sun shines upon you. May the light help purify you.
@@nealgrimes4382that’s because they breed for money instead of breeding, teaching to be wild and then release. They want you to believe it’s impossible butterflies it’s not.
i cannot thank this channel enough for sharing the lives of these wonderful, intelligent, compassionate and POWERFUL animals with us. I cant get enough.
Shabani ama la pioggia, gli piace al punto che ogni volta si fa la doccia, ma quel tuono lo ha messo in allerta, stava per tornare dentro ma poi avrà pensato " È meglio che resto fuori devo proteggere mia figlia❤️ dai tuoni". Kiyomasa che faceva il vago con la mano per toccare papà 😊 Video bellissimo, grazie!❤️🍀❤️
What amazing animals!! He is THE MOST Beautiful Silverback I've ever seen. Just beautiful my gosh! His eyes are so alive, what an incredible, thank you so much for sharing!!
How wonderful would it be to sit next to a gorilla in the rain? Well, actually, rain, sleet, snow, sunshine . . . I'm smiling n my heart feels warm. "What a wonderful world it could be if only we'd give it a chance".
Gracias Japanese zoo por esta bellez a de animales por mantenerlo tan limpio y bien ordenado con espacios al aire libre muy bien construidos ellos escalan y bajan por Ellis Sabanis es el gorila más bello n q existe como le gusta ña lluvia se moja y restriega pero cuando truena corre despavorido protegiendo a Nene es muy bello lo amo
Oh how wonderful, you got a reaction from him. He is so caring. It was amazing when he tried to go inside but realized Annie was still outside and he couldn't leave her out there by herself. It was really nice too that Ai came out to check on her. How sweet everyone was. I loved how Kiyo turned into a little ball after he touched Shabani. 😄
I don't know if I'm interpreting his behavior correctly but it looked like he ran to protect Nene when the thunder rumbled around 2:56 She looked so scared. Either way, I definitely agree with your comment.
These gorillas have been born in captivity! They cannot be freed in the wild. And still, have you seen the documentaries of wild gorillas, where poachers end families by killing the silverbacks? So the families get confused and eventually perish because no leader? Or when they killed the silverbacks and the females to steal the babies? I would rather see them safe, well fed and enjoying their babies and their lives than getting killed because of their "exotic" meat or their body parts.
Great apes have always kind of scared me, but Shibani has such emotive and compelling eyes that I feel like he is just a great big Dad to his family. He is really powerful and fascinating to watch, and sometimes I feel like he can see me right through the camera! I appreciate these videos, thank you for documenting this group!
