Female Gorilla wants to get closer to Silverback | Interaction between Monta & Momoka

May 21, 2026, at Chiba City Zoo. Rainy. Continuation of the previous video. Momoka the female gorilla wants to deepen her bond with Monta. Momoka’s earnest expression as she approached Monta was very striking. It is said that gorillas can read each other’s emotions through facial expressions, and Momoka seemed to be intently observing Monta’s expression, as if waiting for the moment he would accept her. Monta was drumming at Momoka, but it wasn’t a hostile drumming. Monta looked relaxed the entire time.
