Nene blog update, gorillas relaxing after settling in｜Shabani Group

October 9, Higashiyama Zoo posted a blog on Nene's recent activities. https://www.higashiyama.city.nagoya.jp/blog/2024/10/post-5067.html Nene's physical strength has exceeded the zookeepers' expectations, and she has recovered to the point where she can climb up on her bed by herself, and she is eating more than before her move, which is a relief to the zookeepers. I too was relieved by the very good report. October 10, 2024 9:00 AM-11:30 AM As the keepers finished preparing breakfast, the door opened and the gorillas came out. Shabani, who had not come out of his room very easily two days before the day of the photo shoot, came out right away. Once outside, Shabani was calmly eating sorgo, eggplant, and lettuce, and his food intake had returned to previous levels. When breakfast was over and the keepers finished cleaning the basement, Shabani and the other gorillas returned to the basement, but after about 30 minutes they returned outside to eat the remaining vegetables. Shabani and the other gorillas seemed relieved that Nene was feeling better and usually returned to the basement after eating, but on this day they did not return to the basement until noon and relaxed outside. #gorilla #shabani #kiyomasa #annie #ai #nene #westernlowlandgorilla #ape #silverback Shabani♂ Born October 20, 1996 Place of birth Appenhure Primate Park (Netherlands) Nene♀ Born in 1972 (estimated) Africa (wild) Ai ♀ Born February 27, 2003 Place of birth Higashiyama Zoo Kiyomasa ♂ Born November 1, 2012 Place of birth Higashiyama Zoo Annie ♀ June 2, 2013 Place of birth Higashiyama Zoo
