    Aww...poor Kintaro. I feel for him but he does eat well and gets plenty of nutrition. I think his breast feeding is more of a security thing with Genki. On the lighter side, Genki says: "More over son, it's time for a baby sister." Lets hope!

      I don't want him to lose it but the baby brother or sister is coming and I knew it would happen. It just makes me happy he's getting older but sad because of the bond you share with the child. Did you know she's cutting him off early. In the wild she would have kids up to 7 breastfeeding off the mother. She would even allow her neieces and nephews as well. This behavior she's showing is because they don't have a big enough troop so the boys got cut off waaaaaay too early. It's just a shame. I'm not going to sit here and say I wish they were free. I don't know their pasts. It just is sad. This was adopted in captivity. Sorry to bother you. I've been studying apes for 4 years now.
      Edit: Thank goodness. She's not cut him off yet is just stopping how much he gets.

      @@PallidTrash you have not been studying apes for 4 years. If so you've been studying the wrong thing because they feed 2.5 to 3 years and up to 3.5 years in extreme cases. Orangutans nurse up to 7 years but 9 years in extreme circumstances. No primate is allowing another primate to feed from them if they a) still have nursing responsibilities b) the other baby has to be motherless. I have zero clue as to where you got all this poor information. Also Genki is not pregnant yet, her and Momo just started their dance and I've not seen one successful mating session. Most of what they show is nothing but Momo getting behind her but not penetrating her. Their penis is the size of a human pinky finger when erect. When you see them mate you will know. Please stop lying, you're making people confused and people are very confused. These titles are clickbait, they are almost never accurate. All these recent videos alleging the males all 'mating' sexually are not true either it's a show of dominance. Momo shaking the other day is not estrus or 'horny' he's trying to intimidate Gentato who is 2 years too old to be there..

    Gorillas like humans and orangutans have long childhoods. In my reading/watching vids (I've turned into an old lady gorillaphile to survive the pandemic 🤗) gorillas captive and wild usually wean between ages 3 and 4. However, it is not unusual to see youngsters 5 to 7 yrs occasionally ask for and receive a suckle especially during a stressful situation. Kintaro will be out of sorts for awhile, but he'll survive and he is surrounded by a tight family unit for support and safety.

      Yeah, like pos Sweet Pea. He also cried and had tantrums as a young adult
      The troop hated him, but his mother was high ranking. So of course, EVERY nursing female harassed for milk. His "mom whistle", which is nornally pleasant to hear, like an endless fog horn

    Oh man guys is she weaning him? Or is it like because she's too big she can properly hold him to feed so it's uncomfortable? I haven't watched yet but I saw the tag-line and got scared. Is she weans him off milk .... It's a very delicate choice on if she's gonna shun him after or not. At a certain age gorillas do that because even though they share an unbreakable bond... No more milk and less mommy time. Gentoro will gain another bachelor. I am gonna hate watching this on kintoro. I've witnessed it so many times

  • @martywojick6639
    @martywojick6639 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Actually, Kintaro's weaning is just about spot on and has nothing to do with Genki's impending pregnancy.
    According to the studies of the DIAN FOSSEY FOUNDATION of the mountain gorillas, depending on the species, weaning takes place between 40 months and 5 yrs. The weaning can also depend on the gender of the baby. Males have a tendency to suckle longer than females. There are several other factors involved also, dietary conditions (this one probably wouldn't factor into it because there is plenty of food), how many males are in the group, etc. So, guess Genki also has a say as to WHEN she wants to let Kintaro go. (Information available on Google "Dian Fossey Foundation.") Very interesting, but a lot to read and digest.

    Primates are never fully weaned, until they’re about 12 years old and that’s being generous. These things are the opposite of human babies and juveniles. For example, my child was weaned at 11 months and never had a pacifier because I refused to give him one. There comes a time when you must force them to grow up, unless you want a 16 year old kid still sucking on your breasts for milk. Thats one of the many differences of an animal that shares much of our DNA. There’s a reason why they don’t share all of our DNA….because primates would never be able to handle it. It takes them a lifetime to mature out of the infant stage…..imagine if they were cut off from the breast nipple at 11 months of age. They might actually grow up and mature sooner.

    As long as Genki breastfeeds, ovulation is either stopped or slowed.

    It'll take a miracle.
    Maybe it's best to have only the 2 boys.
    So I say, Kintaro take your time and enjoy yourself, you can breastfeed till you're 7 years old.
