Gentaro's testicles are invisible soon.(gorilla information sharing)｜Momotaro family｜Kiyomasa too
When male gorillas become adults, their testicles are hidden inside their bodies. In other words, they are not visible from the outside. Gentaro's testicles are still faintly visible, but they will gradually be buried inside his body. In fact, the testicles of Momotaro, the father, are not visible.
Kiyomasa at the Higashiyama Zoo is also losing his testicles as he gets closer to his age.
When the testicles will become completely invisible depends on the individual, but it is not so far off. Let's observe Gentaro and Kiyomasa's bodies while they are still young!
ps I do not show Gentaro's testicles in the video. It is only to share information with my channel subscribers. In my talk live feed, I talk about more detailed information.

Kyoto City Zoo / Western Lowland Gorilla
MOMOTARO & GENKI Family
Father MOMOTARO ♂(2000/7/3)
He is hesitant in new situations and is a loner.
His father died before he was born, and he had never spent time with a silverback.
He had already turned into a silverback by the time he was 10 years old.
He is struggling with unfamiliar child-rearing.
MOMOTARO's father is BIJU.
MOMOTARO's mother is MOMOKO.
Mother GENKI ♀ (1986/6/24)
She is 14 years older than Momotaro and has a role to support the whole family mentally.
She has had a tumultuous and eventful life.
She has returned to her birthplace, Kyoto City Zoo.
She had never been blessed with a baby but after meeting Momotaro,
she had two sons.
She is a very maternal female gorilla.
GENKI's father is MAC.
GENKI's mother is HIROMI.
First son GENTARO, male (2011/12/21)
He was separated from his mother Genki soon after he was born.
Genki's milk production was not very good.
He was raised by his keeper for his first10 months.
Because of this, he is very fond of humans.
His face is so expressive, and everyone enjoys watching him.
Second son KINTARO ♂ (2018/12/19)
He is just very strong-willed and independent.
He has big eyes and long eyebrows.
The way he plays a lot with his brother Gentaro makes everyone smile.
We can't wait to see what kind of gorilla he'll become!

Thanks for watching a video until the end. 最後までご視聴ありがとうございました。
Gentaro is strong and handsome like Momo, but sweet and gentle like Genki- the best of both!
I agree !!! ✨❤️✨
I'm expecting to see what kind of father and husband he'll become when he forms his own family
Gentaro looks healthy he’s just about ready to rumble and roll 😂😂😂❤❤❤
@@user-yf9vd7nq2yThey gone find him a beautiful gorilla somewhere if they have to go to the jungle 😂
He's turned into such a wonderful looking silverback.. I have no doubts he will do just fine with his own troop when that time comes. 😊
It's been such privilege watching Gentaro and Kintaro grow up.
Hasn't it? I'm not ashamed to say I look at Gentaro now and my eyes get misty - already miss that sweet little face of a young Gentaro with those soulful eyes. What are we going to do, seasons?
@@Charlotte-r me too….. I want so much for Gentaro to have the best life as a Silverback, but I’m afraid that he might be sent somewhere we won’t have access to see him on a regular basis like we do now and I still want to be able to watch over him so I know he is alright !
@KathyJo. i just reread our comments. Boy, we're beginning to sound like moms that hate to see our little baby boy grow up. 😅 But I do agree and understand your feelings, cause I got "em too!
Yes I absolutely agree ❤
I didn't know about this trait in gorillas either. It would help determine a gorilla's age.
Thank you for the information on male gorillas. Genki and Momo sure made two awesome gorilla sons.💞
Yes, They sure did……With each of their difficult backgrounds and not exactly the ideal enclosure, Momotaro & Genki gave the world two exceptional male Gorillas and for that they deserve the utmost dignity and respect.
Gentaro is such a good boy ♥️ No comparison to Kiyamosa’s behavior, Shabani and Nene’s son…..But, He has always seemed lonely to me . I hope and pray whomever makes decisions for his future, allow him to have his own family🙁🦍♥️
Momotaro always seems lonely to me. He hasn’t learned how to make connections with other gorillas growing up. I don’t get as strong a sense of that same loneliness in Gentaro but it might be a thing as he matures, ie behaviourally standoffish in imitation of dad Momotaro maybe. I think Gentaro is feeling his leadership oats and detaching himself from the troop emotionally at this point as might be nature for blackbacks his age who strike out on their own in the wild. To me the lonely gorillas who I always feel a bit badly for are Momotaro, Amahoro (female Grauer gorilla at Belgian Zoo), and Asante (another female) at Twycross Zoo UK. The gorillas that usually strike me as lonely tend to be the “third wheel” or “maiden aunt” females low on the troop’s totem pole. Rarely a silverback seems lonely to me (except for Monta at Chiba who lives alone). Momo is an exception because he lives with companions and is the troop leader as silverback, but still always seems lonely and it’s because of his lack of socializing during his upbringing. I’d also say Toto at Ueno seems lonely to me sometimes too, but to a lesser extent as Momoko’s children really adore her so she has their companionship and attention often. Argh I hate to see lonely gorillas. Love them so much I hate to think of them having a moment of unhappiness! 🦍♥️
He lonely because mom doesn’t show him special affection and he wants that because she introduced him to her that way.
Gentaro ya de bebé era muy hermoso.
Gentaro is such a wonderful gorilla ❤.
Is he related to Shabani?
@@paulagola2307 not that I know of.
@@paulagola2307 no he isn't, he is the only one Annie can breed with
@@laurieanneanderson9888 Thank you sweetie
Kintaro REALLY LOVES his net ball!
Gentaro looks like a well developed young adult. He is filling out nicely especially his back, chest, and h aunches. He's going to silver very nicely like his dad. It ha been a pleasure watching him and Kiyomasa blossom and mature.
I’m thinking they disappear to protect them. In the wild, fights and possible injuries. I’m assuming the brow bone and flat ears are for the same purpose. Baby boy is growing up.❤
Oh! Another observation, I have noticed that feral gorillas have an almost childlike look in their eyes. The Momotaro Family’s eyes are more similar to feral gorillas’ eyes than most other captive gorillas’ eyes - which to me are suspicious and angry looking. I wanted to point that out. Japanese zoos take a lot of flak but this troop looks calm and well adjusted.
You learn something new every day. Thank you for this information and thank you for respecting Gentaros'modesty.
??? Are you referring to the very conveniently (or not) placed smudge on the viewing glass? Because that was not placed there.
8:18 Gentaro, the handsome dark one (le beau ténébreux !)
The muscles on Gentaro's back are becoming so prominent. He will make a really good husband I wish he could be with Annie as she is always playful and not mean. Gentaro looks like Genki so much. Thank you for sharing. Oh!!! I noticed the water was off in the little pond.xx
Yes I noticed that as well ❤
I always said Annie and Gentaro are beyond perfect match, both raised 1st couple years by human and both share advanced characteristics. Them meeting eachother I feel may be more hectic than Momo and Genki.
Es impresionante la evolución de Gentaro, siento un amor especial de esta preciosa criatura de Dios! ❤ ❤ 🌱🌳
Gentero was such a wonderful big brother to Kintero. He loves him still and I love that about him. Will miss him terribly bad if he leaves from here. Wish they would bring his future bride to him and them have their own space
Mi siempre bebe Gentarichan❤❤❤❤❤Te amo precioso
ゲンタは身体が大きくなった❤
Really interesting, Gorilla Life! Thanks for keeping us informed, as always.
Gentaro’s eyebrows frame his face beautifully & that’s why he’s handsome .. it brings on a very friendly & innocent appearance. ❤❤❤❤
ゲンタロウ！タマタマは消えてしまっても幼い時のままの澄んだ目んタマタマは健在❤唯一無二のゲンタロウ🥹いつまでも可愛いゲンタロウ🫶
💯🦍♥️
This hidden testicle thing might explain why a female, Sully, in an American Zoo recently gave birth to a baby and keepers were surprised because they’d always thought Sully (who is about 8 years old) was a male! I am unsure how this misidentified gender in Sully went on for almost a decade but she revealed herself to be female when she bore a gorilla baby! Maybe it’s the hidden testicles thing that explains how Sully could pass eight years with no one figuring out she was female! Still a bit puzzled by that one. You’d think it would be revealed in medical checks by vets etc. anyhoo. Sully is healthy and well with a new baby no testicles in hiding, turns out 😂. 🦍♥️
Yes, I read the news about Sully and her newborn baby, but I take this story with a pinch of salt. 🙂It's okay, I accept the Sully's present zoo staff didn't have the reason to check for sex organs and didn't recognize her sex at the age of 4 when she arrived from Milwaukee Zoo. But male infant gorillas have definite and visible genitals as we can often see in the case of little gangsters Jabali and Ringo, at least they could have some suspicion why "Sulaiman"'s sex organs were never seen.... 😉
I was surprised by that too. It would literally mean they aren't bothering to examine them the way they should. I thought part of the relocation gave consideration to their gender; so placing a growing "male" in with an established silverback could have spelled disaster.
@@latralla4577 Interesting.. I visit Milwaukee, and they had the family group Suliman, Zahara, Cassius, and the mother (forgot name).. those parents died of a water related bacterial issue. So they went to Columbus while we got Oliver and 2 females in Milwaukee once they fixed the issue. I do not remember a "Sully".... ?
@@TheFlashyWeasel Sully is at The Columbus zoo about 150 miles from me. Yep, she had been identified as Male and then one morning, everyone shows up for work and Sully is holding a newborn baby 🤷🏼♀️
@@KathyJo. Crazy...how could they not know? On a related related matter, we got what we thought was a male sloth to mate with our female. Lawrence became Jennifer Lawrence... lol.. so she went to another zoo and now we have a "male". 🫰
I didn't know about this! Thanks for the information.
He clearly states in the captions his private area is being covered by his hips and backside fur. His parts are still there....
Maybe I’m biased but I think that Momotarou and Gentarou have above average looks. Their fur is always well groomed and they have nice proportions. The “slim” gorillas with very little fur (often mangy looking) look more like bonobos to me. I think they’re creepy!
I agree, momo is the most handsome Silverback. Gent not to far behind! The shabani family is hard to watch, some of them are skinny and tall and look a little to human like, creeps me out too!
@@grassynotes Thank you. I was afraid to say that about slim gorillas.
Gentaro has a beautiful coat and his face has incredible symmetry
@@grassynotes I think Shabani is very handsome and Ai is the most beautiful female gorilla I’ve seen.
Just a comment on the slim thing, not a put down. (:
These videos complete my day & when life happens I go back & finish viewing ❤! Kintaro cracks me up with his naughty behavior & how the others react. Hurts when he’s mean to Genki but that’s gorilla life . 😊. I enjoy observing Kintaro playing with that ball !! Very Clever
父モモタロウに似てきたユッタリ動作。アノ可愛かったたゲンタロウが大人に❗️風格が出てきた、😢感動が堪らん‼️。近くに居て、ゲンタロウ兄ちゃんが大人に成ってゆく姿を見ながら育ってるキンタロウ、君も大人に成ってゆくんだヨ❗️。 美しく大人に成ってきたゲンタロウ‼️🎁🎂オメデトウ🌈🎀。
interesting fact. thanks for the valuable information. sometimes I'm curious too.
I always see Gentaro as a handsome and gentle faced gorilla. As if he's always smiling. He often looks at the camera😊 and when he does someone would want to sit beside him😊 Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day.
Una información muyinteresante
I did not know that. Just assumed all Gorillas.... well you know. Lol
Kentaro is my fav
ゴリラは笹を食べるのですね。そういえば、京都に行ったら笹に巻いたお饅頭をよく買ってました。香りが良いしフワフワで美味しかった😋
magnifique GENTARO ça va être un grand dos argenté ça c'est certain 😂
Are they going to move him soon? I can’t imagine they’d want him to be with Momotaro very much longer. Seems to me the clock is ticking on that one. Have you heard anything? I would think now is the time to start making plans.
I think Shabani s son needs to be moved as well.❤
Es bueno saber ,es parai una sorpresa 😮
Gentaro es.muy bello
Interesting fact I didnt know that either
Atleast kintaro will always hav a ball
Gentaro devient très impressionnant et très beau 🦍il ressemble à sa mère Genki❤
9:26 you can really see the silver around Gentaro's head. He's a Magnificent Handsome Gorilla.
ずっと、タマタマの事きになってたんです！！これでスッキリ！！ありがとうございました😊
I love this family and Gentaro is growing up to be so beautiful! He is gonna be an amazing silverback!!!!
I love Gentaro ❤❤❤❤I love Momotaro and my sweet Genki and big boy Kintaro ❤❤❤❤
ありがとうございます。全然知りませんでした。これで海外で男性と思われていたゴリラが出産したという記事に理解できました。ゲンタロウは日に日に体型はしっかりしてきましたが、顔は子供っぽく可愛いですね。ゲンタロウ部屋は出来つつあるのでしょうか？狭そうですけど．．．
Thanks for sharing this information with us. I was wondering where they go on the gorilla 🦍 and why it happens ? Is it maybe for protection so he can mate when the opportunity presents itself ?
Interesante información 🤔
No sé, lo que cambiará Gentaro pero,por ahora las orejas y la cara son de su madre Genki.
I think he's looking more like his father Momo, and reminding Biju
@@fuzo777I agree. You can still see some resemblance to Genki in his face, but in the last year he has taken on much more of Momotaro's looks.
I think he has his father's nose and face, and his mother's eyes.
Both his parents are beautiful-looking gorillas. I think Gentaro will turn out supremely lovely like his Dad Momotaro as he matures. 🦍♥️
@@gorillabff1003 Absolutely! A very beautiful family.
Gentaro still has boyish qualities in his face and actions with his younger brother. But is all Silverback in his body’s development. I hope the 2nd level goes well and the family will be happy and safe.
Damn!! Gentaro is huge🫢🫢🫢🫢🫢
Lindão ❤❤❤❤
ゲンキも産まれてしばらくはオスだと思われていて、｢ゲンキ(男の名前)｣と名付けられたのですよね。😅 モモタロウとかよく大股開きで寝てますが、シルバーバックが玉も棒も全く何も無いことが前からすごく気になってたので、おしえていただきありがとうございました。😊
No big deal. This happens to me every time I go swimming and they usually pop right back out.
TMI
@@TheFlashyWeasel lol
Do all male gorillas end up silver backs?

Gentaro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gostaria de saber até quando Gentaro poderá conviver com seu pai ? Essa convivência é possível?
such a terrible small area for them
Well ,we’re in the heck are they 😂😂😂😂
Do they drop as he becomes ready to meet a lady?
Esta familia son muy apuestos, es una lástima sean los gorilas con el peor recinto
Isso quer dizer que ele vai embora?😢💔💔 que nervoso que sinto 😢😢😢
Must admit, I got a bit worried by the title thinking that they'd done something "grievous" to him to block his ability to have babies of his own.
アニーと所帯を持つ時が来たのだ
@@user-yf9vd7nq2yHave fun with the offsprings of your favourite couple! 🤪
I hope so they would have beautiful babies God bless all of them
@@user-yf9vd7nq2yKiyomasa is Annie's half brother, also her uncle. They can not be mates.
@@user-yf9vd7nq2ynot true they don't want siblings to mate, if that was the case they wouldn't have Annie on birth control!
Ich finde, Annie passt von ihrem Wesen her nicht zu Gentaro
Is there clean running water for them to drink. The water is dirty and nasty.
Será que GENTARO vai ficar como o pai dele,,o MOMOTARO???
♥❤ ❤❤ ❤🦍♥
e asuste,mi bb no dije.jaja
Genkis belly is so big! It doesnt look healthy!
comment ça disparaissent vous pouvez expliquer pourquoi
Would a wife for gentaro be OK in their cage or would momo try and mate her.
No, it is not a better idea.
I like these gorilla channels but every few videos on each one is about something I don't want to see. Don't want to see momo and genki or Kiyo and whoever mating. Don't want to see gorillas instinctually mounting with no mating. Don't want to see vicious fights unless there is something important about their outcomes. Like separation. Don't want to see a video about Gentaros magic disappearing testicles. I just want to see the families enjoying life and caring about each other.
To the channel operator: this is a criticism of almost all of these channels
I know this is going to sound stupid, but wouldn't it be something if GENTARO WAS A GIRL. !!!! GENKIS DAUGHTER, Ok just thinking , LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤
You're right. That did sound stupid.
Who cares that ya cannot see Gentaro testicles!?
Bullshit😂
