#Gorilla #Nene #Shabani
This video was taken on September 5, 2024.
Nene the elderly female gorilla has not been feeling well recently.
On this particular day, she ate a little food, but only a small amount, nothing compared to the amount she usually eats.
The keepers gave food directly to her and she ate only a little.
She had no appetite and was angry at the keeper for trying to give her food.
She seemed to be typical Nene at this time, and I was a little relieved that she had the energy to get angry.
But then she spit out the food in her mouth.
Shabani and Ai were looking at her worriedly.

On the other hand, There was tension between Shabani and his son Kiyomasa.
It seemed to me that Shabani kept Kiyomasa away from Nene.
Ai, the female gorilla, was stopping excited Shabani and Kiyomasa.

Nene had been lying in a spot at the top of the subroom for a long time.
Shabani, who couldn't see it, forcefully dragged her down to the ground.
However, when I reviewed the situation in slow motion, I saw that Shabani had Nene on his left shoulder and then supported her with his right arm to make sure she would not fall by grabbing the rope.

Once on the ground, Nene was chasing after Shabani.
Her run was not as fast as usual, but she still seemed to have some energy left in her to chase.

Annie, who was watching her, chased after Nene with concern.
Kiyomasa, who was in the next room, was angry with Shabani.

Shabani may have forcefully put Nene down on the ground because he wanted her to stay with the group members.
Also, Shabani is a very smart gorilla.
He may have realized what was going to happen to Nene.

In fact, Nene's health has been getting worse since this day.
Shabani may want to stay with Nene as much as possible.
See you in the next video.
