The video was filmed in the afternoon of October 2023 at the Chiba Zoological Park, Chiba, Japan. In the video, Rola was working on the green feeder for a while, but now she moves on to a fire hose feeder. She is trying to figure out how to open it. She bites it and shakes it. Her concentration is great. With the hose feeder in her left hand, she starts playing with the green feeder too. She resumes working with the hose feeder and finally gets a hang of it. She enjoys eating crushed snacks. While Rola is tackling the feeders, Monta is taking a nap indoors. He wakes up, places his chin on the window sill, and starts watching visitors. Thank you for watching! • Reference: • The notification of the building renovation by the zoo (Japanese) • https://www.city.chiba.jp/zoo/news/ka... • Accessibility • I have added captions for this video for international viewers as well as viewers who feel the already-given subtitles are too small to read.

(age 1 or 3?) • They were kept at Aritake Chojuten Co. Ltd, the animal dealer until they moved to Chiba Zoo in 1993. • • In March 1993, he and Momoko were transferred to Chiba Zoological Park. • NB: The credibility of his birth info is uncertain. • Monta and Momoko grew up together. They were infants when they arrived in Japan. However, due to the allegation of illegal trade, they spent a few years at the animal dealer's place until the allegation was cleared. He desperately needs a companion to live as his kind. He's been living alone most of his adult life. From 2009 until 2010, the zoo tried pairing up Monta and Rola several times. It didn't go well. Since then, he has been all alone. His abnormal behavior of plucking hair has been greatly reduced since the change of his keeper. I hope the zoo will not change the keeper in a short period of time. • 🎥1️⃣ How Monta Momoko came to Japan 👉 • ✍️How Monta(Nice) came to Chiba w Mom... • 🎥2️⃣ When Monta Momoko were at Chiba Zoo 👉 • ✍️ Story when Momoko, Monta Goro we... • 🎥3️⃣ When Momoko Momotaro were at Chiba Zoo 👉 • ✍️Story when Monta, Momoko Momotaro... • • ROLA • female western lowland gorilla • DOB: Sept 21,1977 • POB: Beppu Cable Rakutenchi, Japan • Sire: Gonta | Dam: Rirako • Rearing: Hand-reared • • In Sept 1977, Rola was born and was being hand reared in a vet house. No trial to return her to Rirako. But her case gave a lesson for zoos and keepers in Japan that a gorilla should be raised by its own kind. • • In Nov 1980, she was transferred to Tobu Zoo • Basically she was living alone but her keeper used to play with her. • • In Oct 1993, she was transferred to Ueno Zoo, and lived with her mother, Rirako, and other gorillas. • • In Dec 2008, she and Kenta were transferred to Chiba Zoo and lived with him until he passed away in 2016. • Rola has difficulty in communicating with other gorillas. Especially when she is put with a silverback, she becomes ill except with an individual like Kenta who had no interest in gorillas. She loves sunbathing. She occasionally exhibits abnormal behaviors such as coprophagy, licking urine, regurgitation and reingestion. Rola always searches for earthworms as her companions. But they have a short life-span, plus they disappear in cold weather. I hope the zoo will consider the option of Rola living with other small animals. It may help solve her abnormal behaviors and loneliness. It seems her R/R has been greatly reduced since the change of her keeper. • 🎥 When the zoo tried pairing up Monta with Rola 👉 • ✍️ Story of paring up Monta w/ Rola i... • 🎥 Video focusing on Regurgitation and Reingestion by Rola 👉 • ✍️REGURGITATION AND REINGESTION by Ro... • Links: • 📍 World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) • https://www.waza.org/ • 📍GAIN Great Ape Information Network • https://shigen.nig.ac.jp/gain/top.jsp • • Music: Epidemic Sound • 1️⃣ Going Back to MC - Little Island Leap 2️⃣ The Appropriate Stalker - Mike Franklyn 3️⃣ Meet Me in Montmartre - The Fly Guy Five 4️⃣ Erawan Waters • #Karinとゴリラ #karintogorillas #westernlowlandgorilla
