Gentaro, the young gorilla, is slowly adapting to his new enclosure at Kyoto City Zoo. The video update shows his first days in the new space, moving from initial hesitation to gradually exploring and getting comfortable. This marks an important step in his development and adjustment to change.
Gentaro’s current weight is approximately 155 kg (341.7 lbs), and his belly has returned to a normal size, indicating stable health. During the video, he is seen cautiously exploring, showing curiosity while occasionally seeking reassurance from familiar objects and surroundings.
The update also mentions Momoka, who is currently at Chiba City Zoo, likely enjoying outdoor areas while the zoo is closed to visitors. These updates highlight how carefully zookeepers manage gorilla relocation and ensure both physical and emotional well-being.
Gentaro’s gradual adaptation demonstrates that gorillas are not only strong but also sensitive and capable of adjusting to new environments with patience and support. His story reminds us of the importance of trust, safety, and consistent care in helping young gorillas thrive.
