Young Gorillas in a Good Mood | Update on GENTARO & ANNIE

August 30, 2026, at Ueno Zoo. Gentaro had a scratch on his head, but since it was only a superficial wound, there is no cause for concern. More importantly, both Gentaro and Annie frequently appeared to be in good spirits. Annie, in particular, seems to have returned to her cheerful self from when she was at Higashiyama Zoo. We’ve been told that they plan to increase the frequency of their cohabitation training going forward, so we may hear some good news soon. Timestamps 00:00 Gentaro 02:30 Annie 08:08 Annie's Drumming New Announcement from the Ueno Zoo Regarding Gentaro and Annie ⇩ ——————————————————————————————————————— As you know, we have been conducting cohabitation training sessions for Gentaro and Annie before the zoo opens since May. Going forward, to increase the frequency of these sessions, we will also hold them on weekday evenings on an irregular basis. During these sessions, we will restrict access to the viewing walkway to ensure the gorillas can remain calm. Gorilla viewing will end at 3:45 p.m. as usual, and access restrictions will begin immediately afterward. We ask for your continued understanding and cooperation. ——————————————————————————————————————— 🔳Gentaro: ♂ Date of birth: December 21, 2011 🔳Annie: ♀ Date of birth: June 2, 2013 Residence: Ueno Zoo, Tokyo, Japan 🔳the Haoko's Group consists of : HAOKO (Male) : Date of birth: 21-Aug-1993 MERRY (Momoko) (Female): Date of birth: During 1984 Born in the wild TOTO (Female) : Date of birth: During 1978 Born in the wild KOMOMO (Female) : Date of birth: 14-Nov-2009 MOMOKA (Female) : Date of birth: 24-Apr-2013 moved to Chiba Zoo RIKI (Male) : Date of birth: 09-Oct-2017 SUMOMO (Female) : Date of birth: 31-May-2022 the Shabani Group consists of Shabani: Male Born October 20, 1996 Nene: Female Born in 1972 (estimated) Ai: Female Born February 27, 2003 Kiyomasa: Male Born November 1, 2012 Annie: Female Born June 2, 2013 (moved to Ueno zoo) Resident Higashiyama Zoo, Nagoya, Japan This is an observation video channel of gorillas in Japan.
