Silverback Gorilla Longs To Mate With a Female | The Shabani Group

#Gorilla #Shabani
May 2024.
Shabani, a silverback gorilla, was frequently showing off to Ai, a female.
Ai was angry at Shabani's persistent flaunting behavior, but Shabani was flaunting again and again.
I have not seen such an assertive Shabani in a long time.

    Poor Shabani.. Maybe. SHABANI NEEDS NEW TROOP. Put Nene, AI and Annie somewhere to live out Nene's life. Give Shabani some new ladies. AI is never going to do anything with Shabani.

    These animals have strong binds you can't just rip them apart because they aren't mating. Kiyo and Annie will be moved eventually but there is no reason to move anyone else Shabani and AI mated before, that's how Annie came up. Her reaction is likely due to being on birth control The easiest way would be to introduce a new female but there are none in Japan at the moment so i guess Shabani needs to buy AI some flowers and see what happens

    Female gorillas have to be in Estrus in order to have the urge to mate. They have Ai on birth control which stops that so she doesn’t get the desire to mate. It would not matter which female they brought to the zoo it would be the same scenario. Ai wasn’t a natural mother to Annie.. likely because she was so young. Annie had to be raised by humans which they try and avoid. They may be giving her some time to mature or maybe they don’t want to risk her giving birth and not accepting another baby. I don’t know but they are a close family. There is no guarantee that they would even accept a new gorilla. Everything is going to be ok. I think they are doing great

    They put the females on birth control so the zoo can control how many babies are born. (Not to mention AI isn't very maternal) They don't have unlimited space and moving animals around to other zoos isn't an easy feat. As well as being costly. Look at Momotaro and his family. Gentaro is 12 and needs his own space with a female (I heard Annie is a possibility). Also Momotaro could use another female, no offense to precious Genki but she's getting old.

    Почему-то все считают, что бедный - Шабани, что он такой хороший и красивый, а его не любят, но это взгляд человека. А может, наоборот, бедные - самки, которые вынуждены терпеть его приставания. Они его может не любят или никогда не любили. В дикой природе самки могут менять мужей по несколько раз в течение жизни, у них есть право выбора. Влюбляются, оставляют подросших детей на своих отцов и уходят к другому самцу. Самец же никогда не уходит из своей группы и принимает всех желающих жить с ним самок. Бедные гориллы - закрыли их в тюрьму без права выбора. Одно мучение.

    Your comment is your opinion and I respect that. I’m always surprised (but maybe I shouldn’t be) how easily we apply human emotions to animals, in this case, gorillas. No doubt animals have emotions, but they are not necessarily expressed the same way that human emotions are. In particular, I don’t think gorillas “fall in love” like humans do. Nor do they “marry” and become “husband” and “wives”. Gorillas seem to act on instinct, which means they mate and have babies to perpetuate the species. Of course, both the male and female have to be willing participants. Sadly, that is not the case at this zoo. In my opinion, Ai is not interested in mating with Shabani or having another baby. I believe she would still be this way even if Nene was out of the picture. To me, the only solution is to find another female for Shabani who would be a willing partner. These are my thoughts only…others may feel differently, which is totally fine.

    Гориллы - человекообразные. У них такие же чувства, как и у человека. Понятие «муж» и «жена» к ним тоже применимо, только на более примитивном уровне. Они живут по правилам гарема: есть любимая самка и все остальные. Они влюбляются, ссорятся, мирятся. Некоторые особи в зоопарках не могут ужиться вместе, в этом случае их приходится расселять. Были случаи убийства. Самка - Генки из зоопарка Киото, когда ею перестал интересоваться самец ( она жила в другом зоопарке) стала заниматься членовредительством- грызла свои пальцы и очень похудела. Ее вынуждены были отправить в Киото. Разве это не говорит о чувствах. Они очень похожи на нас. У них отсутствует речевой аппарат, в связи с чем они не могут выражать свои мысли вслух. Все считают Шабани исключительным и хорошим, но его самки могут его не любить и не уважать, что они часто демонстрируют. Я и написала, что мы рассматриваем эту проблему со своей человеческой точки зрения. Шабани нам кажется красивым, хорошим и забавным и нам непонятно, почему Ай его игнорирует. А ей все понятно.
