   • Cry of Komomo's soul on Momoka's last day 3/₅   ◀︎Previous｜Next▶︎    • Riki’s Grooming Request on Momoka’s Last D...  

This video was filmed on Momoka's last day with the troop at Ueno Zoo. In this episode, we see Momoka finally come down to the ground and roam around the enclosure. A small fight breaks out between Momoka and Riki. Riki wants to get to the treat on the tree first, but Momoka tries to get it first. A small conflict ensues. What's noteworthy here is Sumomo's reaction. Sumomo is always present in any conflicts between siblings or family members and sometimes even intervenes. In this episode, Sumomo also plays with human children. She seems to enjoy playing hide-and-seek with a little girl with blond hair. The next video is the final episode. Enjoy!

Chiba Zoo has confirmed the safe arrival of Momoka on October 8, 2025.
The zoo has updated on Momoka that she has lots of appetite and is doing fine. She will be off-exhibit until she gets used to the new environment.
You can see her recent photo at the zoo from the zoo's post on X👇

About Western Lowland Gorilla
Gorilla gorilla gorilla
Habitat: The most widespread gorilla subspecies, it can be found across more than 700,000 km² of Central and West Africa.
Lifespan: 35 yrs in the wild (up to 60 yrs in captivity)
IUCN Red List: Critically Endangered
It is the smallest of the four gorilla subspecies, which also include the Cross River gorillas, Grauer’s gorillas, and mountain gorillas. It has shorter black-brown hair, longer arms, and a more prominent ridge along its brow. The adult males, called silverbacks, have silvery-grey hair on their backs and thighs. Their heads are large and pointed, with a sagittal crest forming the back of the top of the head. Its population has been decreasing due to poaching and disease. The estimated population in 2013 was almost 362,000 individuals (IUCNredlist.org). Fewer than 150,000 western lowland gorillas remain in the wild (gorillas.org).
