    • I actually think Momotaro has become a softie even more with Kintaro. Fatherhood is making him a better Silverback. I wonder uf he a Genki were to have a female baby would Momotaro be even more tender?

  • Everytime I watch this video I cry, they way Genki looked at him thru iron bars broke my heart, especially when she tries to kiss him, touch him. Then when he finally came, they way Genki was walking all around him, shielding him, that was so precious!! Genki will always have to mother of the year award, she is one amazing gorilla mama. She has been thru so much, all she ever wanted was her own baby, well-deserved! Kudos to the amazing gorilla human daddy, so much dedication, patience, compassion & determination. Job well done sir! You should be recognized & rewarded for your role as a human/gorilla parent in the Zoo Society around the world, you should train keepers willing to take on that role when needed. It’s all about the Gorillas 🦍 and Kyoto Zoo Gorilla Team made that happen & saved one more species from going into extinction. Much respect to you all. 🇺🇸🫶🏻🦍🩶🖤🦍🩶🖤🦍🏆

Gorilla babies need to be fed and kept warm constantly and Genki wasn't able to do it with Gentaro. It would be cruel to sedate her every time they needed to feed Gentaro.

    • beautiful video. I knew all this but it upsets me when people say Genki needs to go, and Momo needs another partner. Genki has hard a very hard life, as well as Momo and they are good together. Thanks for putting these videos together so people know the background of the family. Genki was really all alone until Momo, and he also was all alone, so together they are good. It puts a lot of things into perspective for people who don't know all of their backgrounds. Again great job on putting these videos together.

Genki has been through so much in her life and it was hard to watch her wanting to touch her first born son through the bars of the enclosure. She is one fantastic mom and Gentaro is a great brother who has a bright future.

  • I loved this so much, I'm sure it's simply because Kintaro is the newest and smallest addition to Momotaro family and seriously who doesn't love a baby.....but Gentaro is sometimes so underrated, over looked, over shadowed by Kintaro, however you want to see it but he is an exceptional young man/ape, his life is such a success story and he has more personality than I've seen in a lot of humans. I absolutely love his dancing, I thought that was just a Kintaro thing but boy does Gentaro have the moves. People talk about how strong Kintaro is and how he never gives up but if more people saw this upload and knew a whole lot more of Gentaro's story then they will see that Gentaro is every much the superstar as his brother and Kintaro has the best big brother and role model in the world. Kudos to all the staff at Kyoto Zoo, you guys did a wonderful job and again can I just say what an AMAZING mother Genki is and an AMAZING father Momotaro is, especially seeing as Momotaro had no father himself and Gentaro was the first baby for both of them. I love Momotaro family ❤️ 💓 ♥️ 💕

Extraordinario trabajo tanto de enseñar la vida de Gentaro en el vídeo cómo lo que hicieron por el, para que saliera adelante. También el trabajo que tendrían con Genki y Momotaro para que a los 10 meses no fueran a rechazar a su hijo. Pobre Genki, como estaría de ansiosa por querer estar con su hijo recién nacido.

Now, with a little brother to entertain (and occasionally steal from Genki), he has really blossomed into a strong young blackback. I look forward to watching him grow, along with the other members of his family, and I can't wait for your next installment on this wonderful family.

Before he was out and about with the human caregivers, now the circumference he lives in is a small cage enclosure he has to share with his parents. Wish his home was the entire zoo, I see that the caregivers love them, but if we can not safely place them back in the wild, then at least give them a better environment, that goes for all captive animals.

  • What a beautiful video. He was so stinkin' cute when he was a newborn! It must have been hard for the keepers to give him back to his mum in a way, although it was always the ultimate goal. I love the part where Momotaro did not know what to do with Genki and so she scooted right under him, like "come on big boy. let me show you. I've waited a long time for a baby". Such a lovely story. Gentaro is a wonderful gorilla. You guys did a fantastic job raising him until he could go back with mum.

  • 👍 The content of these videos is too precious. 💕🥰 The first time I saw how Genki loved Momotaro. 🙏🏻 Thank you to the director of the zoo for taking care of Gentaro since he was a baby, and Genki is also very great 👏🏻 to accept a son raised by humans, because many gorillas mother may not be able to accept babies raised by humans. I very like 💗 Momotaro family.

    • The zoo did a wonderful job. Sometimes people criticize the zoo's for taking the baby away from the mama and raising them by hand but he would have died had they not. Through no fault of Genki. 💗🦍💗

  • Its so cool tho that gorilla could express to the mom that she was a mother too, and it was crystal clear without ever involving language. We should take a lesson from that interaction. Im sure other moms know what i mean. I got goosebumps, and within the 1st minute the tears came...

  • I loved this video! Gentaro has overcome many hurdles and seems none the worse for wear. If you only see the vids of him in the last year you don't see his great personality and heart. Same with Momotaro. This video helped round out the family Momotaro. Now that he is a rowdy teen, Gentaro is still sweet, loves his parents (I saw a recent vid of him playing with his dad), adores his baby brother Kintaro, is very smart, a well rounded gorilla kid. I wonder if he still dances. We need to see more Gentaro especially since he is starting on his young silverback training. AND KUDOS to the keepers at KyotoCity Zoo. The care, love, and time they put into Gentaro, and later Kintaro, to keep them alive and healthy as newborns to now is awesome. The gorillas and staff are blessings for each other. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
