📌 M O N T A
Male | Silverback
BD: Sept 25,1984 (?)
POB: Spain or Africa
Parents: Unknown
Rearing: Unknown
⚫︎In 1987, Monta was transferred to Japan.
⚫︎In March 1993, he and Momoko were transferred to Chiba Zoological Park.
NB: The credibility of his birth info is uncertain. It's kind of a mystery that his parents are unknown yet his birthdate is indicated.....🤷🏻♀️
About Monta:
Monta and Momoko were transferred to Japan when Monta was around 3 years old via Spain. When he was little, Monta easily got lonely. In his childhood, Monta was often being chased by an elderly gorilla, Momoko. They grew up together. He's been plucking his face hair constantly. He desperately needs a partner. But as for now this kind of abnormal behavior can be reduced if the zoo puts more emphasis on environmental enrichment. He needs stimulation. He's been living alone most of his adult life. From 2009 till 2010, the zoo tried pairing up Monta and Rola several times. It didn't go well. Since then, he has been all alone.

📌 R O L A
Female
BD: Sept 21,1977
POB: Beppu Cable Rakutenchi, Japan
Father: Gonta
Mother: Rirako
⚫︎In Sept 1977, Rola was born and was being hand reared in a vet house. No trial to return her to Rirako. But her case gave a lesson for zoos and keepers in Japan that a gorilla should be raised by its own kind.
⚫︎In Nov 1980, she was transferred to Tobu Zoo
Basically she was living alone but her keeper used to play with her.
⚫︎In Oct 1993, she was transferred to Ueno Zoo, and lived with her mother, Rirako, and other gorillas.
⚫︎In Dec 2008, she and Kenta were transferred to Chiba Zoo and lived with him until he passed away in 2016.
About Rola:
Rola has difficulty in communicating with other gorillas. Especially when she is put with a silverback, she becomes ill except with an individual like Kenta who had no interest in gorillas. She loves sunbathing. She occasionally exhibits abnormal behaviors such as coprophagy, licking urine, regurgitation and reingestion. I believe such behaviors can be reduced if the zoo puts more emphasis on environmental enrichment. Rola always searches for an earthworm as her companion. But it has a short life-span. I hope the zoo will consider the option of Rola living with other small animals. It may solve her abnormal behaviors and loneliness.
