Momoka’s final day with the gorilla troop is an emotional moment, not only for her but also for the other members of the group. In the video, viewers can sense sadness, worry, and a touch of nostalgia as Momoka prepares to leave.
Komomo, another member of the troop, seems to sense Momoka’s imminent absence. Komomo’s calls echo like a farewell, expressing the loneliness and emptiness that will follow. This moment reminds us that gorillas are not only physically strong but also deeply emotional beings, capable of forming close bonds.
Momoka’s departure is a reminder of change within the troop and how gorillas develop and maintain complex relationships. At the same time, it encourages humans to empathize with and appreciate these connections — both among gorillas themselves and between humans and the natural world.
