      @@sonjavandam1306 There is channel on CZcams called the Dodo. They report on kindness done to animals ect.ect. They said that the Congolese were trying to sell 12 gorillas,chimps,bonobos and other primates to China. How they were planning on getting these animals,I don’t even have to guess! There are only about 200 wild mountain gorillas left. China has a pretty low standard of care. Almost like a circus they said. I don’t want Bauwi’s sons sent there! Who the hell is making these decisions! I’m so freakin upset!😣

      @@bigboytoyz541 I will be honest with you, Japan might have alot of gorillas but it's not a breeding program. Where would they put new females for Momo.
      These zoo's are not meant to have lot's of families. Haoko has done well & Bauwi had 9 offspring because of the breeding program. If you look at the 4 single Gorillas that live alone, no offspring & will die alone..Momo & Genki belong together, they are both awkward & it seems to work for them. I wish people would shut up about Genki having another baby. It's all about the $$$$ sorry for the rant.😩

      Hello Nina, Bauwi had a chronic health problem. Most of the time this is not showing, but in bad periods it was difficult to coordinate his movements properly. As a result, he difficulty walking.
