I've watched shabanis family recently but I didn't know the backstory of Annie & I must say..... I have admiration for shabani knowing how strong & powerful a silverback is yet he accepted and used his power to carefully protected his baby girl! Amazing! ❤️❤️
This is such a beautiful story! Her dad has to be the best dad ever! How touching that he knew who she was all along and would watch her for hours! I also love that he made sure no one would hurt her and gave her space to become adjusted to him.
This is by far the most moving story about an intelligent, protective, interesting Silverback called Shabani. This story about Annie is also about her father's love & leadership.
1:59 That moment where Ai pushes her, but then pauses to reconsider her actions, then goes to examine and hold her is very touching. Its like you can see Ai regretting pushing her and goes to comfort her.
I came back to re-watch the story of Annie. SHABANI IS THE BEST DAMN GORILLA FATHER IN THE WORLD. Have you ever seen a silverback step in like Shabani did for his baby girl since Ai rejected her (as a mom, not family member?) I havent! I guess I just needed to good cry of joy today. Thank you Gisel for all the history videos on the gorilla's in Japan.
@@CrystalM1917 Annie was born by caesarian section whilst Ai was anaesthetised, newborn Annie was taken away to be cared for by the keepers. This is why Ai has no memory of giving birth to Annie.
@glynisakabonniekenzie7664 oh wow. But surely she must have known she was pregnant? I wonder what she makes of that?, or do apes only recognize reproduction in terms of birth not pregnancy? I would imagine they may not understand mating leads to babies exactly either only that they are driven to do so by biological/hormonal design.
Wow, Shabani was right on it when Nene went after his baby girl! I'm just getting to know this family but I've read a lot that he's very protective of her to this day.
I too have only just started watching this family, all my attention for a long time has been devoted to Momotaro family, so just having been a recent follower I've watched a lot of stuff backwards and yes you're 100% spot on, Shabani is still extremely protective with Annie and Ai has also built a better and stronger connection with her daughter which can only be a positive. I would definitely say this was a success story and Annie is a total sweetheart ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💖
Wow...love the story of Annie.. Gentaro will be the perfect match for Annie..they were both raised by humans...they are both great dancers 🥰 and they are both clever and lovable...cant't wait to see their offsprings...i hope so ..🥰
Its a good thing that Ai at least accepted Annie as another troop member. Shabani is the best gorilla father Ive ever seen. Look at them today. Kiyo and Annie are best friends.
It ALWAYS amazed me how gentle and protective big male silverbacks can be with their young ones. A small flick of that giant gorilla arm could be fatal, but they are (usually) so careful! Just amazing, IMO!
Gentaro (born in Kyoto City Zoo in Japan, on 12/21/2011) son of Momotaro and Genki was the first infant gorilla in Japan to be raised by humans, then later returned successfully (10 1/2 months later) to his family.
Gentarou was relatively easy as he only returned to his father and mother. Moreover, I think I was very fortunate that my mother, Genki, recognized Gentaro as her son during the artificial childcare. When Genki gave birth to her second son, she seemed to think that Gentaro had taken her son for artificial childcare, and when her second son was born, she never let go of her for 10 months. In the case of Annie, it would have been very difficult to return to the flock.
Glad to have learned the story about lil Annie. Shabani will always be her protector FOREVER. Annie is Soooo PRECIOUS to her daddy❤💙❤💙❤💙❤All she need is him😍😍❤💙❤💙
I burst into tears !! A wonderful story ! Shabani is a unique gorilla and a wonderful father, I am insanely glad that Annie made friends with Kiyomasa, Nene and Ai are wonderful mothers 💜 🙏 Thank you for the video!!
He’s unique as most gorillas playing with their kids somehow, Shabani spends more time than normal and she even gromming Annie and acts like her mother, father and friend!
Nene hates Annie till this day. AI does not like Annie eighter. I read in a comment ...how AI and Nene were both biting Annie as a baby. If it wasn't for Shabani that came to the rescue . Annie would have been hurt..i read to that Nene had to do with Ai' s first babies death. Those two are a pair of witches.
@@deniied5414 Because Momotarou he has nobody to leads him, he growth without Silverback. Nowaday, he did really great job for someone doesn't have father.
What a cool story. I am always amazed at the silverback gorillas. They are such a giant force to be reckoned with yet they seem to be the most gentle at times. They also seem to really "care and love" their family groups. You expect some sort of crazed, out of control, giant killer, yet they are super loving, curious and fair. Alot like me! lol
@toe the line No they are not related at all. Shabani and Haoko (among many others as their father was quite prolific) are full brothers, sharing both mom and dad.
Thank you for this!!! I did not know why Ai doesn't recognize Annie as her daughter. Why was Annie removed originally? Shabani amazes me more and more. I didn't know that he spent many hours watching his daughter and kept working to earn her trust and love.
Shabani is a magnificent example of a good father. For this he is my favorite silverback. It is unfortunate that Ai did not care for Annie. Not sure why.
@@GiselSimon Ai has abandoned childcare and has become an artificial childcare by the keeper. During that period, Ai no longer recognized Annie as her daughter. But surprisingly, Shabani seems to recognize that Annie is his daughter. If the gorilla does not return to the flock within 1.5 years, she will not know that she is a gorilla and will not be able to live with other gorillas and will have to live alone for the rest of her life. To avoid that, Higashiyama Zoo staff made a detailed plan and implemented it to return Annie to the herd within 1.5 years. But as afraid, Kiyomasa's mother, NENE, pushed Annie to protect her son, and since then Annie has been withdrawn into her room for three months. However, Annie's desire to play with Kiyomasa, who came to the room every day, re-entered herself into the flock. After that, her father, Shabani, rather than her mother, Ai, protected Annie and helped Annie become a member of the herd to this day. Annie is now 7 years old and is running around energetically
Initially, AI was way too young to conceive and rear a child but they put her in with this family anyway! She was just a baby, she didn't know how to mother and the zoo didn't give her a chance. They took her baby and created this story that both AI and Annie don't know they're mother and daughter. I don't believe any of it!
@@GiselSimon Was Ai like this from the very beginning with her daughter? It might be understandable if the initial bond had been broken, she wouldn't recognize her; but it's not clear if she rejected her from the moment of birth? Is that why Annie was removed and human-reared?
Shabani is an unique playful gorilla with his kids. Most of gorillas playing in some instances with their offspring but Shabani spends lots and lots of time with them and he even gromming Annie because her mother doesn’t!
Someone else commented on this, but i need to express my pleasure over the last picture as well. It is awesome. What luck that photographer had getting both shots. Annie shows all her pearly whites in the left one (how often does a gorilla laugh like that?). And on the right Annie posed like a supermodel, even with the hand on thigh. I wish i could have these two as screensavers. 😍😍😍🙊🙊🙊
Naaaaaaaw Annie you beautiful little princess and a total diva and boy does she know it 5:53 just proves it. What a fabulous father Shabani is, Annie will always be safe with her daddy around. ❤❤❤❤❤ This was a total success story and everyone involved throughout this process should be proud of what they have achieved. 🎉
Excellent footage and a great story. Shabani is a patient leader. That footage of him pounding his chest in the beginning is too cool! (Had to edit a verb).
I have watched this video about 25 times now and I can’t stop 😊😊,,, I love my sweet baby Annie and now the beautiful female gorilla she has become. Thank you for the wonderful video! Do you have any more older videos like this of Annie getting re-introduced to the troop? Just asking it never hurts to ask 😇
I think she meant because mom rejected her but in Gentaro case it was to save his life because Genki tried but wasn’t producing breast milk. If by years then yes Gentaro was hand raised first.
@@bigboytoyz541 It’s strange that the person writing the script for these videos doesn’t know about Gentaro and that he had to be hand raised and was obviously before Annie or the first.. The individual seems to be from Japan so it’s bizarre as you said that they’ve made this claim more than once, so we can assume that it’s not just a mistake and you’d think they would research other gorilla’s and their history before making a documentary type video that’s suppose to be based on facts. Thanks for letting me know about other videos making the claim again, because that makes me think the individual doesn’t care about getting the facts correct. One time I can give some thoughts to maybe they meant to say it differently but more than once is obviously a pattern. Again I have to say that’s strange because Annie’s story is still a sweet and endearing story even if she wasn’t the first gorilla hand raised, so I don’t understand why just telling the truth it the fact that she wasn’t the first gorilla hand raised in Japan. It doesn’t lessen her birth story any for her not ti be the first. P.S. Please forgive all grammatical errors because I have MS and with the side eddy like bad eyesight and sometimes even cognitive issues if I’m tired. I hope my comment is coherent and/or at least understandable. NO PITY PLEASE. I’m tremendously blessed with my amazing husband of 39 years. Our wonderful children and grandchildren, even my precious 99 year old grandmother who’s still sharp as a tack and she’s so wise. I’m also grateful for the tremendous strides that have been made with MS treatments and medications by researchers and scientists. So my life is fulfilling and blessed, I was taught from a young age that life is hard and if you think what you’re going through is bad then there’s always someone else who has it even harder. I tried to remember that all my life and it means more to me the older I get, I also instilled this into my children and now I teaching it to our grandchildren as well. Blessing’s To You And Yours 🙏🏼♥️
@@kelleybutler9203 I agree. They both have an amazing story, it's just odd that they would make that claim. I'm sure they are aware of gentaro's story since they are both zoo's in Japan. But who knows. Stay strong my friend and have a blessed day.
What beautiful beings, our furry brothers and sisters with their own lives, ways, and needs. Although I'm sure they get the best care that money can buy, and are probably safer in the zoo than the "wild", I do feel sorrow for their captivity. Love 'em!
I think this is the defining moment when Nene messes up her relationship with Shabani by attacking Anne... because their interactions have not been the same ...she is now ALWAYS weary of him
@@GiselSimon -Shabani of course is so handsome but I always say his sweetness& kindness as a daddy& his playfulness is what makes him my favorite silverback!!!🌻🌼🌻💜😉👯
He is wiser. Watched him reconcile with his son after a hefty fight. Shabani called him over. Hugged him, rubbed his head, held his hand. Shabani wanted things right with him and did it with his love.
After watching this video about Annie I can see why she is a Daddy’s girl. I can understand why Annie acts towards NeNe and her birth mother. Shabani was there from the start to show his daughter he loved her and was there to protect her from the others. So it makes it clear to me why she is always defending her Dad when the others try to team up on him.
This video is well put together. Shabani is the closest looking and behaving human like Gorilla I have ever seen.His actions are so loving and so human.Thanks for the video,I always wanted to see Annie's story from birth.The 2 most loving persons in this group are Ai and Shabani and after that Annie.Nene and her son seem very selfish and spiteful.Did you see how even though Ai didn't recognise Annie as her own she quickly took her in after initially giving her a little shove.
They're not selfish or spiteful. Female gorillas compete with one another for the attention and protection of the silverback. They don't always get along. And Nene didn't recognize Annie as belonging to anyone in the group, so she was merely tolerating Annie's presence, which is common. Obviously Nene is going to back up her own child before anybody else's child, again, normal. It's important not to attribute negative human behavior to these creatures. As much as they share with us, they are still their own species with their own versions of "normal", and for a gorilla, that wasn't out of the realm of normal.....even though it would be harsh behavior in the human world.
I saw a video of Momotaro almost backhanding Kintaro but he stopped himself or was bluffing but my dad would do that to me sometimes! I’m always amazed at these humanlike conditions!
There are only these two next-generation couples in Japan today. If love gives birth to another one, it would be possible for a couple with the youngest child in Kyoto ... Shabani, do your best.
Gentaro of Kyoto City Zoo was born December 21, 2011. He was separated from his mother at 4 days old. He was raised by humans for 10.5 months & then successfully returned to his parents, Genki & Momotaro, who accepted him with open arms. So wouldn't Gentaro be the first gorilla raised by humans & successfully returned to parents?
The story of Annie was written a couple of years ago. At the time that I was doing the research this is how all my resources stated her birth and being raised by humans. I don't know why it was put that way because Gentaro is older than her. I will correct the video description.
@@GiselSimon yours is not the first source I have seen say the same thing. I wondered if there was a technicality in the exact meaning of being "hand raised by humans" & if there was a big difference between how the two were temporarily fostered. Thanks for the info. Love your channel. Best,
@@jstajoy Momotaro's father was Biju who died before Momotaro was born. Both Gentaro & Kintaro are Momotaro's natural offspring; he is not stepfather to either of them.
Annie ! she may be a candidate for Gentaro's partner in the foreseeable future. It is still in the air , though. Kyoto city has just come to an agreement with a zoo in taiwan so as to proceed a breeding project each other. 🦍🌹▷Gorilla Life

Isn't it! The one where she is smiling on her birthday is my favorite though. That big grin, all teeth showing. They have such amazing personalities.
Those are gorgeous shots!

What beautiful beings, our furry brothers and sisters with their own lives, ways, and needs. Although I'm sure they get the best care that money can buy, and are probably safer in the zoo than the "wild", I do feel sorrow for their captivity. Love 'em!
Fofinha ANNIE bebezinha Gorila 🐵😀😀😍😍😍😍que fofo o papai Shabani brincando com ela 🐵🐵😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Shabani is a great dad
I absolutely love this video Thank You so much for sharing this❤💚💙💜💛🐵🐒
Thank you very much. Gorillas are such wonderful creatures. It is easy to see them as just "animals" but they are so much more.
That's what Papa's are for ❤
great video Gisel, you've got another subscriber and good luck with your channel! :-)
Ohhh A new subscriber here。。。...
Yay! I watch your videos too!
Thank you for this informative video.
I think this is the defining moment when Nene messes up her relationship with Shabani by attacking Anne... because their interactions have not been the same ...she is now ALWAYS weary of him
Gisel, this is beautifully done.so informative& sweet.thx so much. will watch it over again!😉🐵👯🐇🐇
Thank you so much Lynn, I enjoyed making it. Knowing the whole story and finding the pictures of Shabani watching her was 🤗😍🥰 He is such a good dad.
@@GiselSimon -Shabani of course is so handsome but I always say his sweetness& kindness as a daddy& his playfulness is what makes him my favorite silverback!!!🌻🌼🌻💜😉👯
Shabani is wiser than A LOT of human parents.
He is wiser. Watched him reconcile with his son after a hefty fight. Shabani called him over. Hugged him, rubbed his head, held his hand. Shabani wanted things right with him and did it with his love.
Ohhh thank you for sharing this ❤ I love watching Shabani andbhis Gorilla family.
You're welcome!
After watching this video about Annie I can see why she is a Daddy’s girl. I can understand why Annie acts towards NeNe and her birth mother. Shabani was there from the start to show his daughter he loved her and was there to protect her from the others. So it makes it clear to me why she is always defending her Dad when the others try to team up on him.
Love how protective dad was over Annie!
well done to all you have done a fantastic job with this family
Oh my, my If I were only an adult female gorilla 💞💕🦍💞💕🦍🖤🩶🤍🦍🖤🩶🤍
This video is well put together. Shabani is the closest looking and behaving human like Gorilla I have ever seen.His actions are so loving and so human.Thanks for the video,I always wanted to see Annie's story from birth.The 2 most loving persons in this group are Ai and Shabani and after that Annie.Nene and her son seem very selfish and spiteful.Did you see how even though Ai didn't recognise Annie as her own she quickly took her in after initially giving her a little shove.
They're not selfish or spiteful. Female gorillas compete with one another for the attention and protection of the silverback. They don't always get along. And Nene didn't recognize Annie as belonging to anyone in the group, so she was merely tolerating Annie's presence, which is common. Obviously Nene is going to back up her own child before anybody else's child, again, normal. It's important not to attribute negative human behavior to these creatures. As much as they share with us, they are still their own species with their own versions of "normal", and for a gorilla, that wasn't out of the realm of normal.....even though it would be harsh behavior in the human world.
I saw a video of Momotaro almost backhanding Kintaro but he stopped himself or was bluffing but my dad would do that to me sometimes! I’m always amazed at these humanlike conditions!
wow this is awesome as i watch the Gorilla this is amazing thanks so very much love them all
Such a nice informative video. Thank you! Now I understand this family much better. I need to know how the other little one fits in.
Maravilloso gorila que reconoció a su hija y supo darle el sitio adecuado dentro del grupo.💖💖😘😘🤗🤗
Por eso lo quiero tanto.
Good dad Sabani.💗
Thanks for sharing! 😊
Does anyone think Gentaro is perfect partner for Annie😍
Yes, that is what I hope will happen.
🤞😃
There are only these two next-generation couples in Japan today. If love gives birth to another one, it would be possible for a couple with the youngest child in Kyoto ... Shabani, do your best.
Lucky girl to have such a great dad
Gentaro of Kyoto City Zoo was born December 21, 2011. He was separated from his mother at 4 days old. He was raised by humans for 10.5 months & then successfully returned to his parents, Genki & Momotaro, who accepted him with open arms.
So wouldn't Gentaro be the first gorilla raised by humans & successfully returned to parents?
The story of Annie was written a couple of years ago. At the time that I was doing the research this is how all my resources stated her birth and being raised by humans. I don't know why it was put that way because Gentaro is older than her. I will correct the video description.
@@GiselSimon yours is not the first source I have seen say the same thing. I wondered if there was a technicality in the exact meaning of being "hand raised by humans" & if there was a big difference between how the two were temporarily fostered.
Thanks for the info. Love your channel. Best,
I didn’t know that about Gentaro! His little brother Kintaro is something else!
I have read somewhere that Shabani is. Momotaro’s father . That would make sense to me as Momotaro is a very loving young father and step father.
@@jstajoy Momotaro's father was Biju who died before Momotaro was born. Both Gentaro & Kintaro are Momotaro's natural offspring; he is not stepfather to either of them.
What a great story, thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
O man Shabani put his hand over his forehead, he wanted to hold his little girl ,simply adorable ❤️he definitely had patience ❤️
Annie ! she may be a candidate for Gentaro's partner in the foreseeable future.
It is still in the air , though.
Kyoto city has just come to an agreement with a zoo in taiwan so as to proceed a breeding project each other.

Wow, that is big news. Please keep me updated if you can.
@@GiselSimon
Yes I will.
i can not be happier for the both of them. They both would have the best father in laws, and the genetics.Can't wait.Rosanna
O wow!Momotaro’s son and Shabani’s daughter! That would be amazing. Also I love your videos too!
