I know but these magnificent relatives of ours are not safe in the wild. As long as zoos have appropriate habitats for all animals, then I don't think they're unhappy.
They would never survive in the wild. Most were born in captivity and they were saved from poachers. Remember Gorillas in the Midst? Jane Goodall is still alive.
A larger enclosure would be great, and some large trees for adventure, play and exercise. But gorillas are primarily ground based animals. Even in the wild they only climb trees 5-20% of the time, and the large males very rarely. I do think they need more mental stimulation in that enclosure. I hope there are larger, more natural areas they get to use at the zoo for most of their time, and they're only kept where we see them for a few hours each day.
@@MrVvulf Only 5-20% of the time makes sense. Now that I think of it, I've never seen a gorilla in a tree. Then again I don't watch a ton of gorilla videos. I think mental stimulation is more important to their health than trees. Looking after babies certainly gives them some of that.
@@user-jo5ml8et1zI feel the same way! That's just sad and cruel. I could understand if the animals are rescued and can't be released back to the wild, but even then it still seems cruel.
I think the enclosure is partially isolated sound wise from the public watching them. This is being recorded through the enclosure glass I think so you can hear the crowd well, but not the gorillas.
@@roslyndecanio81 ...gorrillas are not safe in their natural habitat is the problem tho do you have any idea how endangered and hunted these creatures are? there's only 3000 eastern gorilla's left in the world, and as much as people are trying to keep all of them protected (eastern and western gorilla), poachers dont care, like at all, they are paid not to care as sad as it might seem, these guys are in the safest place in the world right now, yeah they could use with more playground space and stimulation but im guessing they are living pretty okay given they not only look healthy, but happy
@@roslyndecanio81 "Yes, wish they were free, safe and in their natural habitat" If they were in their natural habitat they would be anything but safe. Animals in captivity live longer lives. No predators, nutritious diet, medical care etc. And most importantly, people that would otherwise never see a gorilla get to view one. It helps them understand that they share the earth with others and should adjust their behavior accordingly.
The light tugs on his leg show early on how strong he is. Fathers need to remind their sons this so they don't act out badly. Restraint displayed is the greatest strength.
Yes and it was also sad for African American slaves too right ? Who were treated way worse , forced to work, given food even a Gorilla wouldn’t eat! And it went on for 400 years… no one ever sad “sad existence for them” no one cared! someone should have to pay for that right? Something that serious can not go unnoticed & unpunished! The psychological effects are still present today… the best part is these Gorillas aren’t being whipped and chained 😇
@@jennifer7330 you literally refuse to even say “aw yeah yk what … that is sad” instead your mental narcissistic brain comes up with “oh please 🤡” I wish you the worst tho, and your family! Take care 😇
Imagine being on display like that your entire life, an entire glass wall with thousands of humans to laugh and talk about you, only to disappear moments later. All day. Forever. All while trapped in a tiny cage. And never knowing any other existence. What hell.
@@mygirldarbyalso have you seen their full habitat I doubt it’s that small. Also I doubt they feel sad about it their not in a concrete pit and they grew up like that they know nothing else. Most zoos no longer capture animals from the wild(I’m saying most because I’m not sure if all zoos are like that) They are living the good life they can eat when ever they want in a safe environment they can sleep when ever without worrying about predators, they have medical care
He is incredible. Special love and admiration for Momotaro here as well. One of the most beautiful and perfectly-formed creatures I’ve ever seen for sure. 🦍♥️
To think I feel sad when I look at my cat because she never saw the outdoors. It’s cute but I imagined them in the jungle jumping from tree to tree and not hearing phone pictures all day in an enclosed space and I had to stop.
Behind those intelligent eyes, it makes you wonder if they know they are being watched, that their privacy is being constantly invaded! Sometimes I wish they would give the watchers the middle finger!
Poor things. This looks like a terrible environment for these incredible animals. Noisy& squalid, no natural material s to speak of ...I wish I could set them free.
Kintaro as a baby was so cute. At 3:57, he looks up at his father and Momotaro touches him gently. I took a screenshot of it. At the present day, Genki still cares for Kintaro as if he were little. He’s a lucky gorilla boy.
The amount of noise going on, I am so surprised these poor gorillas haven’t got earbuds… It’s truly not pleasant to listen to the humans and I bet the gorilla’s look forward to bedtime… 🙏😢🙏
If they were in the wild thed be happier, notice how father sits with his back towards people, DON'T blame HIM. Video ok too much noise from humans in background. Build a much LARGER area plant more trees make it like forest , thank you for sharing video with us all. 🌿
They do not belong there for our entertainment, it’s one thing if they are injured or need rehab but they belong to the woods and jungles where they live not locked behind glass.
What a horrible place for these beautiful majestic animals. Concrete floors with hay when they should be in the jungle. Poor dad is probably so sad that his little Bubby is gonna grow up in such a horrible prison.
