There are 3 silverback gorillas who has their own troop/family in Japanese zoos. Each of them have different characters. Shabani (26 y/o, Higashiyama Zoo) is the father of Kiyomasa and Annie. He often plays with his children and beats his chest a lot. He is famous as a "handsome gorilla". Momotaro (22 y/o, Kyoto City Zoo) is the father of Gentaro and Kintaro. He has a calm personality and a good husband for Genki. He likes to keep himself clean. Haoko (29 y/o, Ueno Zoo) is the father of Komomo, Momoka, Riki, and baby gorilla Sumomo. He is a giant silverback and his face is grim, but he loves his troop gorillas so much and is so gentle. They're great fathers🦍🦍🦍 Happy Father's Day!! 日本の動物園には3頭の父ゴリラがおり、それぞれ違う顔、性格をしています。 【シャバーニ 26歳 東山動物園】 シャバーニはキヨマサ、アニーの父で、よく子供たちと遊びます。また、父ゴリラの中でいちばんドラミングを頻繁にします。 「イケメンゴリラ」として有名です。 【モモタロウ 22歳 京都市動物園】 モモタロウはゲンタロウ、キンタロウの父で、静かで大人しい性格です。 また、綺麗好きな一面もあり、よくブランケットをシートとして座り、タイヤを持ったり足を入れたりするのが可愛い父ゴリラです。 【ハオコ 29歳 上野動物園】 ハオコはコモモ、モモカ、リキ、スモモの父で、日本で一番大きな身体をしている父ゴリラです。 強そうで強面な見た目と群れの子どもたちにも慕われめったに怒らない優しい性格のギャップが魅力です。 2023年6月現在、赤ちゃんゴリラのスモモと触れ合いたそうにするも少し遠慮気味なかわいいパパです。 3頭それぞれ立派で素敵な父ゴリラです🦍🦍🦍 父の日おめでとう🎉
The family silverback is the best. 🦍💖 They have to be happier having a family then living in a bachelor group, even though fun to watch them play. Shabani is a great father, though I think sometimes he loves to blend in as a brother to Kiyo. He's such a playmate to his children. He's awesome! Momotaro is such a gorgeous gorilla, and yes, he is a very calm gorilla. He doesn't present a lot of drumming, or a lot of playtime with his boys, but he does love them and Genki dearly. Haoko is a big boy. He is 29 y/o and I don't see much play in him either, but Riki does it for him...hehehe. You can tell that he loves Momoko very much and loves to be by her. He watches over his family closely. He does appear to be a calm and gentle silverback with a big family to love him back. And his grim looking face is adorable...love watching him eat. Although they do not know it's Father's Day, I wish them a great and happy day. I love them all. Thank you, Gorilla Forrest, for this video. 💖💖💖
Happy Father’s Day! I’m still holding out hope that Monta will be in this group soon!🙏🏽 He is a beautiful older Silverback who needs a mate and a child to lavish on!🙂
To all the wonderful Silverback Daddies in Japan.They all have great qualities to protect, lead and love their families.Happy Father's Day to my awesome heavenly father, Jesus!Without YOU I would be lost!💜🌌💜🙌🙌🙌
Happy Father’s Day to Momotaro, Haoko, and Shabani ❤ you are the Handsome, Fine, Super, 🙌 Stars ⭐️ Silverback Gorillas ❤ and the troop love’s ❤you and always will ❤ much love ❤️ and your trainers and the crew they’re the best Love ❤️ real love ❤️ unity
These 3 from Japan are awesome! Like humans they have different personalities, but there is no doubt they are loved and respected by their females and kids. They've shown themselves to be fierce protectors, loving father's and mates, and kind and patient with their kids. They know when to be playful and how to discipline for the situation as needed. These are 3 of the greats. Globally there are others who belong in this groups (Oumbi, Kelly, Winston, Charles, etc). Wishing them a great day and continued love and success.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Happy Father's Day to the Big Three! And although his brother may get more attention, my favorite is definitely big man Haoko. Aside from being a great troop leader he has an adorable wrinkly face, beautiful eyes, shaggy arms and the best fluffy silverback butt of them all! ❤❤❤
Beautiful video thank you! 🎉🎉Happy Fathers Day to the great silverbacks of Japan! ❤❤ So precious to see Sumomo right next to her daddy - no fear at all! 🥰🥰Who was Shabani playing with? Too funny! 😂😂
From all of the Silverback Super 👍🏼 Star ⭐️ Children 👧 we love ❤you all for being good , loving us and keeping us safe ❤and loving our mothers ❤ you are the best you just have to love them ❤ peace and happiness because love and understanding ❤️ will keep us together ❤
I feel bad for Momo too. He’s like someone who didn’t know how to swim & got thrown into the deep end at such a young age. Not having a Silverback in your life makes a huge difference, Momo is an example of that lack of influence & I think I read he was separated from Momoko at 7…? 💔
@@PraiseHIMthroughthestorm I am not aware of his story. I get the videos in different order, so I get confused. I saw him try to snuggle his young one, those big hands though, he just tried so hard. I'd love to know more about him.
@@doorschick89 From what I’ve learned Momo’s father died, Biju, while Momoko was pregnant with Momotaro. They were in an enclosure next to Monta, the lone Silverback 😢. After Momo was born & around age 7, Momoka was taken to the Ueno Zoo to be paired with Haoko. Someone plz correct me if I’m wrong but this is what I’ve read so far…so Momo grew up isolated till he was 10, by then he was a Silverback. He was sent to Kyoto Zoo to pair with Genki. There are videos of Momo first arriving. It’s hard to believe he’s a year younger than Gentaro. ❤️ I hope this answered some of your questions. Love these beautiful 🦍❤️
@@PraiseHIMthroughthestormThat's right, he lived alone since he was 7 for handle the zoo (that zoo must be close if Momo doesn't be there). He became a silverback when he just 10 and then he met Genki, 1year later Gentaro gave birth. 🦍
Прекрасные гориллы-отцы.. Шабани старается всем уделить внимание.👋. Момотаро держит дистанцию, очень осторожен, но позволяет Кинтаро нарушать границы 😊Ханко очень заботливый и любящий отец и муж.. ❤
@@PraiseHIMthroughthestorm Bwaaahahaha!😆🤣 "The George Clooney of Gorillas"! I *love* it!! He's George Clooney, but on steroids!!💪 And maybe Momotaro is "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson💪, and Haoko could be Arnold Schwarzenegger!! 💪 😆🤣😂😁 They are each gorgeous, magnificent silverbacks, and I love them *all* !! 💗💪🔥🦍🦍🦍
Muchas felicidades a todos los gorilas de espalda plateadas cada uno con su estilo Sabanis tan protector de su familia tan apegado a sus hijos aunque estén grandes Haoko me ha sorprendido increíblemente es tan dulce y mantiene su fmila tan relajada con 4. Hijos y 2 esposas Sabanis es un poco más de a pegado porque no tuvo a su padre pero.cuida de su familia felicidades a todos los cuidadores que son papad
No es Momotaro el que se crío sin su padre increibl e Momoco Riki Momoka y Momoco son hermanos Momotaro es muy quieto pero a su forma ama su familia Sabanis tan grande y pesado es increíble su agilidad hace correrá Kiyossms aman esos buenos padres sus hijos
Me da pena con Momotaro no tuvo padre y encontro a Genki tan adulta par a el no tiene insentivo deben buscar otra esposa jov😢en para el para ver si.le da mas alegria Sabanis y Haoko tienen 2 esposas Momotaro tambien las merece
@@justbreathe_ I agree. I think the last weight I saw for Haoko was or is 500 pounds. Momotaro is considered small at near 400 pounds, but he is tall at about 6 feet. Either way, doesn't matter because they're all magnificent.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@@yvonnejones9940 he was 418 lbs the last time I saw him on the scale near their computer. I think Gentaro is going to be a big guy. I imagine Kintaro smaller but heavily muscled.
@@justbreathe_ I think Momotaro may be the trimmest (and possibly the fittest), due to all the climbing he does. His enclosure, being smaller than the others, makes what use it can of the vertical space, which is conducive to lots of climbing. There is not much room for other forms of exercise, but judging by Momo's physique, it seems to be an excellent workout! They are each stunning and magnificent, and I love them *all* !!🤗💗💪🦍🦍🦍
WOW! The picture at the very beginning of this video *really* shows the resemblance between brothers Shabani and Haoko. I've never seen it quite so vividly before!😲🤗💗🦍
There really is. Bauwi is the oldest brother of Haoko and Shabini and was as handsome as his brothers. He resided at a zoo in Holland , but sadly passed away recently. However there's a lovely video of him baby sitting his kids all 9 of them. 💖💖
@@neptunes3279 I'm so glad you commented! You have given me new information. I had never made the connection between Bauwi and his brothers before (so thanks for that), but I *have* seen Bauwi before. He is the father of the famous twins N'Hasa and N'Kato! Such a lovely family! Bauwi was *indeed* very handsome. I haven't seen enough closeup footage of him to notice any resemblance to his brothers yet, but I will, for sure, be looking for it now! I also had not heard of his passing.😢 Such sad news, but thank you for that update.🙏🦍💗
@@learoman2526have D’ jeeco raised a baby by himself ? I don’t think so, yes he’s a great dad but Shabani raised his daughter from babyhood up , grooming, because she was rejected by her mother protecting her , defending her and love her very much. If wasn’t for Shabani maybe Annie wouldn’t have survived. Google a gorilla raised by a silverback and humans
