Baby Gorilla Ready to explore | SANTARO | Kyoto Zoo

April 2026, at the Kyoto City Zoo. Sunny, then cloudy. Kintaro, a juvenile male gorilla, has now left his mother’s home range and is learning the social skills of an adult gorilla under the guidance of Momotaro, the group’s leader. Meanwhile, the infant Santaro is growing up healthy and strong within his mother Genki’s territory. Genki encourages Santaro, whose grip strength is developing, to grab wooden boxes and the bottom frame of the glass window. When Santaro grabbed Genki’s skin, Genki looked as if she were in great pain.
