Silverback Gorilla Trying To Save His Daughter | Shabani 

#Gorilla #Shabani #Annie
February 2023.
Cold weather at Higashiyama Zoo.
The gorillas were relaxing indoors after breakfast when Annie, Shabani's daughter, was trapped in the lift shaft.
Shabani and the others were impatient at the sudden incident, but they ran outside to return to the basement from another lift shaft.
Nene, an elderly female gorilla, also ran outside.
A short time later, Nene and Ai returned from outside to their usual room. It seems that they did not return to the basement from the other lift shaft.
A few moments later, the lift shaft door in the usual room opened and Kiyomasa, Annie, and Shabani came up from the basement.
Annie seemed to be safe.
After that, Shabani and her family relaxed in their usual room until lunch was ready.
Annie (age 9) is a girl born to Shabani and Ai, but she was artificially nursed for about a year because Ai abandoned her soon after birth.
When Annie returned to the herd, it is said that neither Shabani nor Ai recognized Annie as their own child, but welcomed her as a member of the herd.
However, when Annie is in trouble, as she is this time, Shabani in particular tries desperately to protect her.
This time, both Ai and Kiyomasa were desperately trying to help Annie. Also, Nene, who usually does not get along with Annie, was worried about Annie and ran outside.
Looking at Shabani and his family, I think it is more fitting to describe them as Shabani's family rather than a herd of gorillas.
