The video captures the process of pairing male gorilla Monta with female Rola at Chiba Zoo, aiming to give Monta companionship and help both gorillas build a new social bond. This is the third part of the series, showing step-by-step introductions and careful observation of their interactions.
At first, Rola appeared cautious, exploring her surroundings gently, while Monta remained calm, eating and observing. Small actions like exchanging glances, sharing light snacks, and moving closer to each other are positive signs, indicating the early formation of a relationship.
Pairing gorillas requires patience and careful observation from zookeepers to ensure both physical safety and emotional well-being. Every small interaction contributes to the development of trust and comfort between the two gorillas.
These simple yet meaningful moments show that gorillas are capable of emotions, bonding, and learning to live together harmoniously. Monta and Rola are gradually creating a new “family”, where they can find security, trust, and happiness in each other’s company.
