    This video compares Shabani of Higashiyama Zoo, famous for handsome gorillas, and Momotaro of Kyoto City Zoo.
    There are other silverback gorillas in Japan, but this time the comparison is only between these two.
    Shabani is a wild and emotional gorilla, while Momotaro is less emotional and more gentle.
    But both gorillas are leaders of their herds and watch over their families as fathers.
    They both have their own unique characteristics, and it's hard to choose between them, isn’t it?
    This is a video channel for observing a family of gorillas at Kyoto City Zoo.

    Momotaro is simply divine. He is regal and majestic in every way. He is truly a magnificent silverback. My synopsis analysis is dissected into different fragments. Based on my observation I think Momotaro is a highly intelligent gorilla. He is an enigma and in a league of his own. He is like the crown prince of the gorilla's world. He is just extra-ordinarily handsome, and the way he moves and sits down leaves you to the imagination. I have followed him throughout the birth of his youngest offspring and I tell you what, he is impressive. He knows how to be patient, and very understanding towards his wife Genki. Momo is only 21 years old and for a father, he is not doing too bad considering he grew up without a silverback to look up to. I personally think that we human beings should just enjoy both Momo and Sabani because they are both gorgeous in their own way. I love them both and somehow, I can't fathom comparing those amazing animals. I simply love them both. In fact, I love all the gorillas and I thank God for giving us the opportunity to enjoy and cherish these beautiful animals,

      Momotoro the best father? You need to use your cognitive skills instead of your emotions. Shabani do the same thing, looking at his family’s and observing every thing besides he raised his rejected daughter, grooming her and protecting her to this day, plus he exercises his troop, walks in tightropes and it’s not a bully like Momotaro.

    Let's see...BOTH for different reasons. Shebani is a big kid, so playful with his family, and he is goofy as heck, AND he loves to love on his older woman, alot! Momotaro is gentle and calm, unless you try to take his food AND he is very protective to his one and only Genki...Example, when the earthquake hit and he protected Genki and the baby, that was remarkable . MoMo had a hard life with no dad to teach him how to be a Silverback and Shebani had a wonderful childhood with two great parents. I can't choose, I just know that I am borderline obsessed with both of these families and I watch them a lot...It's a guanteneed happiness I get every day. Thank you Japan for sharing you gorilla families with us. And please to all the animal lovers out there, please donate to the zoo's of you can, especially Kyoto zoo they and there city are suffering financially and it's a possibility that they could close...That would be a travesty, let alone a monumental upset for all the animals . Blessings to all🦍😇✌😎🦍

      Nina West, GREAT comment! Have you ever watched the Gorilla family in Taipei zoo? The Female Tayari? She is a younger female and absolutely smitten with Silverback D'Jeeco! It is hysterical! Tayari follows him and loves to touch and even HUGS on him. She loves to play too. I think Shabani would LOVE to have a female who loves to play and hug, touch and be near him. Shabani always tries to seek out affection from the females and half the time Nene looks like she wants to bitch-slap him. ;-) I think Shabani and Tayari would be in heaven together. Momotaro may run and hide from her because he is not use to such aggression of affection, but may learn to love some hugs and ego boosting. Sad they don't have a dating site to choose a mate! ;-)
      Like you, i cant choose. They are both amazing Dad's and Silverback studs! Momo is doing great for not having a Dad to learn from and a normal family with more females to mate and be with. But, they are wonderful and impossible to choose! Be safe! Check out Tayari and D'Jeeco if you haven't already. She is a trip!

    Momotaro is a class on his own... Many times I feel the family is different than all other gorillas. Every one of them is so awesome, always... Momo, Gentaro, mama Genki and little chubby kintaro.... One cuter that the other... Love them all and can't stop watching them... Can't count the number of hours the family brought a smile on my face On these uncertain times, SPECIALLY KINTARO, who is a bundle of joy. ❤️❤️❤️

      Great comment! Yeah, Kintaro now has a little "Buddha-Belly" now and loves slapping his Tubby-Tummy! Both families are wonderful. Hard to choose a favorite. Both Silverbacks have great positive behaviors and we must remember that Momotaro never had a Daddy to learn from where Shabani did.I think Momotaro is doing a great job for no role model as a little guy. I WISH Momo had another Female as other families because I would like to see him get more affection and attention or even some "play time" with a female. Like Tayari from Taipei zoo, she loves to hug and be near Silverback, D'Jeeco. She is smitten with him and it's hysterical. Shabani is very playful and affectionate and playful. Shabani ( just my opinion ) would LOVE to have a young female showing him so much affection because he always tries to get his females to play or walks by them and touches them. It would be fun seeing him getting stalked. He would love it. Momotaro, well, he may be very confused and run and hide from Tayari. But, he may grow to love such affection. Sad because of Genki's past and her sensitive nature they can't allow another female in this family because of a risk of her getting jealous and depressed. But, they seem to be content. Both Silverbacks are handsome and their personalities make them even more attractive. Beautiful Studs ;-) See Tayari loves and hugs D'Jeeco ---> th-cam.com/video/UChaGHFD_8I/w-d-xo.html

      @Andrea Katsos Thank you Dear. It is so easy to fall in love with Gorilla families and feel like they are a part of our family. They share our emotions, behaviors and are such amazing souls.
      I started watching "Prague Zoo" after seeing a video of my Beloved Gorilla Boy Tatu playing on a tree branch wearing a white hat. He was just like a Child! From that sweet Gorilla Boy, Sadly, he died. He loved the ropes and often wrapped them around his neck. One morning before the family woke, he must have been playing and by accident hung himself. By the time the staff got there and family woke, he was already gone! Such a heartbreaking end for this beautiful boy. ---> th-cam.com/video/LGx6tCqqFFM/w-d-xo.html
      Tatu was such a sweet big brother. He was very gentle and loving with baby Tatu and just had a sweet soul. --->th-cam.com/video/--0TO7vCZJM/w-d-xo.html
      th-cam.com/video/SGWnCeJLUCg/w-d-xo.html
      th-cam.com/video/mGCliAEX3lk/w-d-xo.html
      See how he loved to love and hug his baby brother, Kiburi? He was a rare and beautiful Gorilla boy that I miss so much. BUT, I know God has a special paradise for these beautiful souls and now my Sweet Tatu is in Paradise with other Gorillas and Animals who left us too soon. He plays and giggles all day with them and the Angels sing them to sleep at night. ;-) Just felt the need to share. I often think, watch and miss him so much.
      I started watching more and more families and love them all. Its hard to keep up with all the videos and all the families. They bring me such joy especially during hard times. My escape and happiness while having coffee. ;-)
      I live near Philadelphia Zoo. Last year bought a year pass, then COVID HIT! (just my luck) looking forward to visiting my Motuba family in PA Zoo soon. Just got my COVID vaccines, so, hoping to get there soon.
      Be safe! Thanks for the kind reply. Sorry mind was too much info and long. LOL! ;-)

      @@citizenbeeswax7985 , I agree with you. I wish Genki was more affectionate and kinder to Momotaro. Sadly. all he knows is the relationship he has with Genki instead of having a few Females with different personalities to see maybe a more playful and affectionate female so he understands that he can have a different relationship with a more affectionate mate.
      They matched Genki with Momotaro because he is "Biju" son. Genki was very attracted to Biju. ( Biju died so Momotaro had no male to learn from just his Mom ) When Momotaro's Mom, Momoko was added to this group, Genki lost her status and place with Biju. Thats when she got depressed. Biju favored Momoko and Genki got very sad and stopped eating and self mutilated by biting off her finger. So, since Genki was so in love with Biju, and Momotaro looked so much like his dad, when Momotaro was 10, they put him with Genki to mate.But, they wwont put any other females in this family because its a good chance Genki will get jealous and withdraw and spiral down into depression and self mutilation again and she has her kids to still care for. They wont take a chance to stress her again.
      I did hear when Gentaro was a baby, they moved this family to a new enclosure and Momotaro didn't take the change well at all and became very stressed and angry. He took out his fear and frustration on Genki and baby Gentaro until he calmed down and was at ease in a new home. Maybe those situations stuck with Genki and she remembers his anger and still keeps a safe difference. ? I don't know. Genki is a stressed and cautious female who seems very nervous. I have heard many gorillas, especially Silverbacks do NOT take to any changes in their surrounding well and get depressed and angry at times.
      It would be cool if they had language and could share their feelings with us to explain certain behaviors, fears and situations.We don't so, all we can do is watch and hope for the best. Genki is old. She may sadly pass and I think then hey will put Momotaro with new females. I did hear that at times Genki gets upset when Momotaro doesn't sit with her and vocalizes ( her way of begging him ) so he doesnt leave. Who knows? We dont see and know a lot that goes on behind the scenes that the keepers know. Maybe she does show more affection inside away from public? But, I agree with your reply. Thanks.be safe!

    I simply cannot choose. Each Silverback has his own personality and handles situations differently. Momotaro had to learn about being a mate & dad on his own since he had no role model growing up. I do love to watch him swing from the highest reaches of the roof when he's gathering food. What power and strength! Shabani is a natural with his offspring - and he is a fine looking Silverback! They both have older mates - Genki at 35 yrs and Nene at 48 yrs.

    It's got to be momotara for me as well, he wanted to get close to Kintaro when he wa very little but Genki was rightly very protective of her baby. Momataro respected Genki totally & was very patient. He didn't mind Gentaro tormenting him he showed patience again. He now plays with the little one as much as possible but always respecting Genki. His 2 boys have started to follow him about a lot now & copy him more & more. They've got a fantastic faith to look up to & the whole family seem to be very happy.

    Easy choice, hands down Momotaro is my favorite. He is the most handsome gorilla of all I have seen. & he has a gentle, caring nature. Very patient. Serious about his position as silverback. Dutiful husband & father. He had a difficult start in life, but he is still working on overcoming that. He is a wonderful silverback! Viva Momotaro!

      @@Discordia5 you might be confused, idk.
      As the disciplinarian of the troop, Momotaro rarely, if ever, resorts to physical punishment. I have not seen him bite Genki nor drag Kintaro.
      Yes, the lower rank troop members move away when he walks in their direction; this is out of respect, not fear. The silverback sits, stands, lies down, walks, or climbs wherever he wants. That is his right as the silverback.
      The job of the silverback is to lead the troop, guard & protect, impose & maintain order, discipline errant members, & socialize the youngsters. Momotaro is an excellent silverback.

    Both have their attractions. Shabani is more outgoing and can dance like a pro, but Momotaro is a totally different guy. Even growing up without a dad, losing his dad, Biju, Momotaro has turned into a very attentive father. Definitely Momotaro, though Shabani runs a close 2nd. Momo might be quieter, but he really rocks his hemp blankets. I really wish that Momo had a bigger enclosure and could have more mates. He deserves so much more!
