Gorilla Dad Curious about his Tiny Baby | Update on Kyoto zoo

July 15, 2026, at the Kyoto City Zoo—it was an incredibly hot day. Momotaro, the silverback gorilla, was in a great mood after secretly getting an apple from a zookeeper. Afterward, he leaned in close to the baby gorilla Santaro, who was nearby, and gazed at him, but Santaro seemed a little startled—perhaps because Momotaro’s face was too close.
