Shabani dances beautifully. Annie is so happy to play w/ Kiyo.⎮HIGASHIYAMA ZOO GORILLAS⎮東山動植物園ゴリラ

This video was filmed in the morning of October 2023 at the Higashiyama Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Nagoya, Japan. Shabani beats his chest. He bites a rope and shakes his head, tapping his shoulders. He glares at visitors. Kiyomasa drums back. The sound of their drumming echoes in the enclosure. Annie comes to the tower and beats her cute chest. Annie and Kiyomasa start playing on the ground. They move to the tower and continue to play. They beat their chests. Annie wonders what Kiyo is doing. Kiyomasa is eating weeds. Annie finds a tomato. Kiyo comes to watch her. Annie defecates and resumes playing with Kiyo. As soon as Kiyomasa lies down, he touches his private part. Annie comes back and plays with Kiyo. Annie looks really happy. Both do. They continued to play. Thanks for watching!
