【生後1か月】みたらし君、キュートすぎる虚勢と初めての冒険　　【赤ちゃん・ニホンザル・４K動画】

みたらし君は、生後わずか1か月の頃から“最凶の漢”を自称し、キュートさと虚勢を同時にまとった独特のキャラクターで人気を集めてきました。高い木からの落下、溺れかけ、連れ去り未遂など、数々の伝説的トラブルを乗り越えてきた彼は、自分を「生まれながらのボス」と信じて疑いません。しかし実際は、気が小さくて臆病、そしてママのウイロウに強く依存する甘えん坊。そんなギャップこそが、みたらし君最大の魅力です。 春先、ウイロウのお腹が目立ち始める少し前から、みたらし君には明確な変化が現れました。それまで自由奔放に遊び回っていたのに、急にウイロウにぴったり寄り添うようになり、まるで“ママ返り”。弟の存在を本能で察し、自分の立場が脅かされる不安を感じていたのかもしれません。 そして先日、弟・わらび君が誕生。パニックになるかと思いきや、意外にも落ち着いた様子で、ウイロウに毛繕いしながら弟の顔をのぞき込む姿も見られました。興味と戸惑いが入り混じった、優しいお兄ちゃんの表情です。わらび君が歩き始める頃には、みたらし君とおはぎ君の2人が遊び相手になり、三兄弟でウイロウを守る日が来るかもしれません。 一方のウイロウは、いつも通り淡々とした事務的な育児。リラちゃんが近づいても怒らず、ある程度自由にさせています。おはぎ君の時もガードが緩かったため、今回もわらび君に対して過度な防衛は見られません。むしろ、みたらし君が弟のお世話をする貴重な光景が見られる可能性もあります。 間もなく2才を迎えるみたらし君。可愛さは三兄弟の中でも随一。これから弟に注目が集まっても、彼らしいコミカルな“みたらし節”を見せてくれることでしょう。 Mitarashi has always been a unique character—an adorable yet overly confident little boy who proudly calls himself “the strongest man alive.” Even at just one month old, he acted as if everyone should already know who he was. Despite his tiny size, he strutted around with a mysterious sense of superiority, claiming that even other youngsters trembled before him. But behind this bold façade lies a timid, sensitive, and deeply mama‑dependent boy. This contrast between bravado and vulnerability is exactly what makes him so irresistibly charming. From the moment he was born, Mitarashi’s life has been full of dramatic episodes. He fell from a tall tree, nearly drowned, and was almost taken away multiple times. These incidents became legendary stories among observers, reinforcing his “born boss” persona. Yet in reality, he is gentle, cautious, and easily frightened—qualities that make his tough-guy act even more endearing. A noticeable change occurred earlier this spring. Until then, Mitarashi spent most of his time wandering freely, playing far from his mother Willow. But suddenly, he began sticking close to her, following her every step. This “return to mama” behavior intensified just before Willow’s belly started to show. It’s likely that Mitarashi sensed the presence of a younger sibling before anyone else. For a boy who loves being the center of his mother’s attention, the idea of a new baby must have felt like a threat to his position. Then came the birth of his baby brother, Warabi. Many expected Mitarashi to panic or act out, but surprisingly, he remained calm. In fact, he even showed curiosity—peeking at his brother’s tiny face while grooming Willow, as if trying to understand who this new family member was. His expression carried a mix of confusion, interest, and a hint of protective instinct. It was the first glimpse of Mitarashi as a big brother. As Warabi grows and begins to walk, it’s easy to imagine Mitarashi and his older brother Ohagi becoming his playmates. The three brothers may eventually form a tight unit, supporting and protecting their mother together. Their personalities differ, but their bond is likely to deepen as they grow. Willow, on the other hand, remains consistent in her calm, businesslike parenting style. She doesn’t overreact when Rira approaches the baby and allows a certain degree of freedom around her children. She has never displayed the intense defensive behavior seen in other mothers, such as Nunu with Konatsu. This suggests that her guard will remain relatively relaxed with Warabi as well. Because of this, there is a real possibility that we will witness Mitarashi helping care for his little brother—a heartwarming development many viewers would love to see. Among the three brothers, Mitarashi stands out as the cutest. Even though attention may shift toward the newborn, his comedic personality and dramatic reactions will continue to shine. With his second birthday approaching in early July, and Warabi soon to start walking, the stage is set for new episodes of sibling interaction, growth, and family dynamics. The sight of the three brothers growing up together and protecting their mother promises to be both touching and entertaining. 淡路島で野生ニホンザルを長期観察し、すべて自分で撮影・編集しています。個体識別・群れの関係性・季節ごとの行動変化など、一次情報として価値のある映像を記録しています。 【赤ちゃん・ニホンザル・４K動画】生まれた日 ― 小さな命が始まる瞬間 注目動画 〇ミウ誕生の日　『【赤ちゃん・ニホンザル・４K動画】母になったミジュ　感動』    • 【赤ちゃん・ニホンザル・４K動画】母になったミジュ　感動   〇もっともっと歩きたい　『【赤ちゃん・ニホンザル・４K動画】元気一杯ミウ　ミジュの娘　愛しい』    • 【赤ちゃん・ニホンザル・４K動画】元気一杯ミウ　ミジュの娘　愛しい   淡路島モンキーセンターは、兵庫県洲本市南部に位置する野生のニホンザルを身近に観察できる施設です。 ここでは約350頭が群れを形成しており、朝から夕方までモンキーセンターで過ごし、夜は山で過ごします。 ニホンザルは旧世界ザルに分類されるマカク科です。 マカクは、サルの仲間ではもっとも多く、ニホンザル以外だと、ヒヒ、マンドリルなどがいます。 ニホンザルは、全ての猿の仲間では、もっとも北に生息することで、Ｓｎｏｗ　Ｍｏｎｋｅｙとして世界でも有名な存在です。 淡路島に生息するニホンザルは遺伝的にはヤクザルに近いことが研究機関の調査で判明されています。 #ニホンザル #赤ちゃん #淡路島モンキーセンター
