Silverback Dares to Confront Provocative Son｜Shabani Group
Video date: April 13, 2024
In the morning, Shabani and the others came out of the basement looking the same as usual.
0:02 AM9;30-AM10;30
After breakfast, Shabani and AI snuggled up close together.
Ai leaves Shabani's place and Shabani moves to where Nene and Kiyomasa are
From this point on, it seemed to me that Shabani was intimidating Kiyomasa.
Later, Kiyomasa came to Shabani's place, but Shabani never played with Kiyomasa.
6:00 AM10;30-AM11;30
Time before lunch
Shabani becomes blatantly intimidating to Kiyomasa.
Shabani chased Kiyomasa around as he approached, and it felt like he was trying to keep him away from the female.
When the door to lunch opened, Kiyomasa was usually the first to enter, but Shabani would have none of it
12:42 AM11;30-PM13;30
Lunch begins.
All gorillas fed as usual, no gorilla had no appetite.
After lunch, Kiyomasa becomes provocative toward Shabani.
That behavior went on for a long time.
The female gorillas that usually follow Kiyomasa never approached him.
15:38 PM13;30-PM15;00
Female gorillas gathered around Shabani, and Kiyomasa was isolated.
Shabani was often near Ai.
Back indoors, when Kiyomasa tried to approach the AI, Shabani shooed Kiyomasa away.
Then all the gorillas took a break for a while and went back to the basement.
※The above is how I feel about it, so if I'm wrong, please let me know in the comments
Since it was a holiday, there were many visitors to the zoo, and I apologize that the video was not shot well, or that there were loud voices in the video.🙇
I will upload the next day later.

Annie loves her dad very much!
To the publisher: I, for one, appreciate the natural atmosphere that you bring us! I would much rather hear the loud voices, than the awful music that others, constantly give us! Thank you!
I totally agree with you 💯!!
I am so happy because I saw Shabani and troop on April 13 and 14 Saturday and Sunday. Shabani really deserves the title of the most beautiful gorilla in the world as he’s more beautiful and handsome in person!
Shabani's father was impressive. He had very good genetics. He was also very loved. And Shabani's mother had a sweet, beautiful look.
You are so lucky happy for you ❤🦍
People that gave thumbs down are really jealous of Shabani . I know the truth because I saw with my own eyes and the primates association knows too since they picked him as the most “ perfect “ gorilla in the world so go now pack sand to help you with you critical thinking instead to believe in BS.
@@famouslegend3649 , I wish that I could see a picture of them!
@@irenekopec9892 Yes! He's so lucky to see them in person.😃👍🥰
King Shabani ❤️🦍 He needs to keep letting Kiyo know who’s boss!
I really love Kyo very much, he is a very charming gorilla, very expressive and even affectionate. But Shabani sometimes just gets tired of females going after him and that's normal, he's the boss and deserves respect. He was also excited about his chance to mate with Ai. Kyo deserves to have a family of his own soon. And Shabani deserves a young female who respects him and gives him more offspring.
shabani for mr. olympia 2024🦍💪
good to see shabani restoring some order and showing kiyo who's boss 18:26 annie, always ready to lend a helping hand🤣🤣🤣
Some Silverbacks are ALWAYS like this, such as Momo with Gentaro; won't let him relax or be nearby at all times. It's ok for Shabani to show his alpha qualities - they are lucky that 95% of the time he is laid back and playful, just a nice guy lol
This has nothing to do with the silverbacks. They are just doing what they are supposed to. This problem is because of the zoo's leaving the young males in the family group for too long. Gentaro should have been separated a long time ago, along with kyomasa. This is because of poor planning.
I agree Kiyo needs to go. He needs to be able to release his hormones as he transfers into a silverback gorilla.
@@bigboytoyz541 Agreed. I wonder if social media interest is making it hard for the Zoos to do what’s best for the troops. Kiomassa and Gentaro have no nowhere to explore , No futures of becoming Sliver backs in their own right. Gentaro is the age Momotaro was when he sired Gentaro. . Flustrating to watch Shabani and Kiomassa relationship deteriote do to human interference
@@frenchieslade6530 gentaro is actually older. Momo sired gentaro at 10 years old. But you are right. The sad thing is they didn't plan for any of these young gorillas in Japan. You have 2 more in haoko's group, and none of them have anywhere to go. I don't see any point in any of the females having any more babies.
I agree with you to a degree however, Shabani could possibly be frustrated. He's been trying to mate with Ai lately and it seems with little success. 🤔
Looks like Shabani has taken his power back. It's good that they work it out & move on. Shabani was letting his son know he's still the man. Tread carefully Kiyo & don't get too cocky. Nene as usual was right there ready to pounce on Shabani if he hurt's her precious boy.🤕
I was gonna say it looked like she was just trying to get out of the way...but yeah, it was in Kiyo's direction, lol.
Shabani at 1:37 at the tower with Ai and her usual flirtatious nail picking self and shabani trying to encourage her to no avail. Ai then tried to placate him and he pushed her away. Never saw him respond that way but who can blame him? He loves her so much. Another terrific video JZ so many moving parts. Many thanks.
Wow, what a video. Shabani is a wonderful dad but don't cross him. The girls were so cute trying to help Kyiamasa but in the end big papa is in charge. ❤❤🦍🦍🦍
シャバーニがイライラしたり、不安定な状態になると、アニーちゃんは必ず側にいってあげますね。 優しい。 キヨマサを群れから出す準備なのかなぁ😔 イライラモードは、おやつタイムあとで見られますが、この日は早い！！
Criaturas lindas criação de Deus ❤
I love watching the gorillas - and these videos are greatly enhanced by the audio. Hearing the other primates - especially the bonobo - makes me feel we’re in the jungle!
We laugh and learn and benefit from them god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go they are very smart and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from the gorillas they make good parents and grandparents love you guys thanks stay safe and warm out there Joe
Very nice video❤❤❤
Kiyo is going to be a massive silverback. 😊
Shabani looks magnificent when he is in Alpha display mode. He wants to tell Kiyomasa to butt out, but poor Kiyomasa has nowhere to go! 🦍🥊💜
They make good parents and grandparents god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go they have excellent body posture very impressed we laugh and learn and benefit from the gorillas thanks they are very smart animals and intelligent animals always learning something new each day from them stay safe and warm out there love you guys thanks !!! Joe 😅😅😊
This is shabani group not kiyo , would love to see shabani and Ai have another baby
I would guess that Ai is on birth control and will stay on it till Kiyo is gone
Ai has no control. The chimpanzees at the zoo have had children without problems and now a new female has arrived. Ai has nothing with Shabani because she doesn't want to, that's how it is.
@@justpiddlin1470 Yes, I would assume all the females are, as Kiyo has made his mark with all of them. I think it has to be frustrating to be a male gorilla and no females of his own to mate with. They (the Zoo's) did not plan well here for the male's futures when they reach maturity. Too many males and too many interrelations with all these Japan gorillas. I saw one of Rikki's sisters mount him the other day from Haoko's troop,,,,she initiated it...and he's only 6. So it is NOT a mental instability as a notorious poster cries about constantly, it's influenced by gorilla behaviour-not doubt captivity place a role too.
@@famouslegend3649 I’ve seen a male gorilla mate with a female who was still nursing an infant; not only was she not receptive, she wasn’t even fertile. The Alpha Male will mate with a female he wants to whether she’s interested or not. THAT is the reality of it. True, Shabani seems to be an especially docile gorilla - but we don’t know WHAT medication the veterinarian may be using to keep the males calm and amicable. Female gorillas tend to reproduce about every 4 years. Ai and Shabani are well overdue - and there is likely a very good reason for it. And it isn’t because Kiyomasa is interfering or because they’re embarrassed to mate with humans observing: Gorilla mating happens very quickly - it takes about 5 seconds.
I also think Shabani and Ai fought because they both have some injuries.
Kyomassa needs to start his own family. Keeping the 2 males in there will likely lead to several fights and no matter how big these guys are they will both get injured
I think Shabani's son should have his own space, his growing up and i think hes trying to ruffle his dad or take over but he isnt strong enough.
Wish we could see in basement
I’m surprised that for as popular as Shabani is, the zoo hasn’t installed a video feed (as many of the Panda Houses around the world have). I’d love to see their sleeping arrangements - as I understand it, in the wild the Alpha Male has something of a nest. Does the zoo provide them with padded wooden boxes - or even molded plastic? Maybe they’re made out of that tough, semi-firm foam that public seating is. I’ve seen the gorillas play with lengths of burlap - could they have a pile of those downstairs for nesting? Or is it just a series of those mesh hammocks we see in the large recreation room? Inquiring minds want to know! Whatever their sleeping arrangements are, I have a feeling it entails a wire screen through which staff can safely give the gorillas whatever injections they may need so they can easily be examined and provided with medical treatment. Maybe they have separate “rooms” - one for Shabani & one for the others - possibly separated by plexiglass-glass, a metal half-wall, or steel bars.
I think it's time they find Kiyomama a new safe home to go to. It's overdue. for his own safety. poor guy.
Exactly. From his perspective he has no choice but to challenge the silverback in a chance to mate with the females The zoo is clearly not addressing his basic needs here, he is now fully able to lead his own family but that needs to happen in a different enclosure. He is going to HUGE soon enough and keeping 2 males in the same space will lead to a constant struggle for dominance and both will end up injured once things turn physical
AI is flirting with shabani and the son is interfering it was on yesterdays feed.
Shabani has testosterone through the roof. He's trying to get Ai to decide to mate with him. And obviously that topic has him quite overwhelmed. I hope he gets it. And Kyo's inactivity doesn't do much to calm Dad down
Normally, the female initiate's the mating..but I wouldn't doubt Shabani will take the opportunity when he wants to.
Kiyomasa is testing his dad tension will grow, he isnt scared of his dad like the others
Shabani's blood is high, I think Ai has to mate with him so he can calm down, for the sake of Kiyomasa
Shabani seems mad at Kiyo about something, perhaps he got to frisky with AI? And, Shabani has a wound on his left shoulder, so I wonder if they had a scuffle earlier?
It’s kind of about time Shabani has been very lax in his silverback authority and they were walking all over him. He’s a sweetie but Junior needs to be reigned in like going first through the door an all the others except Nene go in first which Momo does not allow. Junior is very immature for his age lol an overgrown sweet heart but he’s rambunctious and it’s time for him to be taught some lessons concerning the females
i think , if im correct lol . because i watch different channels of Shabanis Troop That Shabanis in heat and any time he tries or seems to be getting somewhere with the girls Kiyomasa enters the chat and the girls are thrown off , they move away from him . we dont know what goes on in the basement if they get to mate but i think Shabani needs some Gorilla time with AI or Nene and it hasnt went smoothly as it should . just my opinion . could be showing the girls that hes the alpha and who should be mated with since he dont push the girls to much into those activities but kiyomasa stay applying pressure lol
Totally agree shabani needs his time and it’s time for kiyo to move on
Я не пойму, неужели в Японии нельзя выделить место для холостяков и переместить туда Гентаро и Киемасу, а со временем - Рики и Кинтаро. Отношения в группах Момо и Шабани натянутые.
Are they safe the older they get?
Is Ai in estrus? I saw another video over the past couple days where Shabani and Kio both kept sniffing her. I’m just wondering if that’s why Shabani is trying to separate Kio from the herd. He seems a little protective over Ai.
That is absolutely the reason why-IMO
Brave shabani
Maybe Ai is about to go into estrus?😊
シャーバニーさん頑張って。お父さん違いの姉さんであるアイさん、また姪っ子で妹でもある我が娘のアニーちゃんにきよまさ君に近づいて欲しくない気持はさっせられます。でもゴリラさんはとってもナイーブなのでそうそう簡単に離すって出来ないとの事で何かも事情が判っているパパの苦労が察せられます。
I know that Nene is referred to as grandma Nene but I just wondered, does anyone know her age? You can tell she’s at the bottom of the pecking order, poor sweetie. She’s so gentle and precious. I love her ❤ Edit: I did a search and found a wiki page on Shabani. It says Nene was born in 1972. She’s 52! ❤
If they are from the wild, they start their b/d in the first month of the year, so it's more of a guess.
Man leave the print on longer so someone can read it
What is wrong with the zoo, one of the males is going to get hurt the writing is on the wall. Wake up. The son needs to be separated or given to another zoo in need of a male. What a shame.😮
It’s so sad to see this happening. Doesn’t Shibani know that’s his son? And I read gorillas don’t commit incest.????
😢ahh y si esto sucede que pasara con kiyomasa en el futuro.
When I was there last Saturday and Sunday definitely Shabani was more assertive and never let Kiyo near the girls taking steps even before Kiyo tried anything. Another thing I believe because Shabani was proactive the girls all stayed next to him even Nene didn’t try to defend Kiyo at all. Nene is so very cute but very small in stature almost like a kid and if someone steals her food she moves to another pile of food since it’s very abundant. Annie is so beautiful and very coordinated and energetic but thin but she was eating like a champ. Ai was very close to Shabani and personally Shabani is very big with a beautiful fur , a little more darker than at videos and pictures and he has a massive head with a sweet face. When I was there I saw a gentleman filming and he gave me a little picture of Shabani but I was so out that I didn’t ask him if he was the videographer. If you are him and this is your Chanel, thanks again and sorry we didn’t get to talk because my mind deserted me. Finally I got a beautiful Shabani shirt too.
I knew you guys must love gorillas, because for two days you stared intently at the Shabani group I wanted to talk to him, but since I don't speak English, I wanted to at least give him something, so I gave him a Shabani sticker! I am very glad you are pleased. I'm sorry if it's hard for you to understand the text as I'm writing it in translation.🙇 I hope you come back to visit us😊
@@japanesezoo , I will next year!
Hi, Are you a employee of the zoo or are you private? Anyway can you tell me the weight of Shabani? Thanks
Kiyo is a chicken… hiding behind his momma for protection. Kiyo reminds me of bullies I grew up with! There comes a time when enough is enough and then action begins. Kiyo isn’t a favorite of mine, as you can tell. I hope they move him soon.
Кийо - трус, который всегда нашкодит и прячется за спины самок.
These are captive gorillas. In the wild Kiyo would move on and start a family of his own since he is already a mature male. Here he has no choice but to fight the much bigger silverback in charge The zoo is at fault here, not the animals
Its really a shame, the zoo has known since the birth of kiyo, that he would need to be moved when he was older!! But he is how old?? and what have they done?? They allow these gorillas to breed then the need to be responsible for there care!
Exactly right and all the zoos are the same no room for them so that puts them all in danger and that is animal abuse and neglect,when they shout out they are protecting the species,like hell they are.
Gorgeous Shabani is trying hard to win over Ai. She continues to play hard to get. Nene is always looking to protect her son. Her son to learn to play nice king Shabani. Shabani is the leader of this troop. Also, I am just realizing Kiyomasa is not Shabani's son. He's Nene's son from Silverback Rikki.
Kyomasa is the son of Shabani and Nene. Ai is the daughter of another silverback and Nene
@@famouslegend3649thanks clearing the facts up!
@@IamAdrienne Yes, Kiyo and Annie are both Shabani's children.
Bravo Shabani👑, ogni tanto fai vedere a Kiyomasa chi comanda, so benissimo che Nene lo difenderebbe con tutte le sue forze ( ma sarebbe strano se non lo facesse,conoscendola) adoro Annie che si preoccupa per il suo papà Ai forza tesoro mio, hai un gorilla meraviglioso, senti il suo odore e poi!? Vi amo famiglia Shabani, ma c'è bisogno di altri piccoli (Kiyomasa,o Annie) Magari😊!!!! Grazie per il video emozionante!♥️🍀♥️
Nobody interested in Shabani today😢. Poor guy all that hard work protecting the troop and no rhanks😮
Esse filho do amado Shabani é chato, ele tem sorte que o pai dele não é estressado como o Momotaro
Kiyo with his wives annie and a.i 😊how precious 😊
Annie an Ai is not Kiyo wives 😂😂😂😂😂 You are on a different planet of the 🦍 apes 😂😂😂😂
Annie and Ai are Kiyo's sisters not his wives! Ai is shabani's mate!
