This video was filmed in the afternoon of October 2023 at the Higashiyama Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Nagoya, Japan. The troop finished their lunch, and now it is time for snacks. It is around 13:00 p.m. They get eggplants, tomatoes, and carrots. Ai is receiving vegetables on the floor while the rest of the troop is at a higher place on a rope. After they finish with the snacks, Annie receives husbandry training from her keepers. She seems to love it. Then, Annie becomes a bit unsettled. The other members of the family are relaxing. But Annie is constantly checking the keeper's area. She starts plucking her hair. Her keepers seem to be doing what they can for her. I hope she continues to receive support from her keepers so her anxiety will be alleviated.

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. You can change the design and size of your subtitles on your device. Furthermore, if you turn the transcription on, you can read the subtitles later without stopping the video in the middle. Please note that languages except English and Japanese are automatically translated by YouTube, so subtitles in those languages may not be accurate. If you can't find your language in the captions, please feel free to let me know.
