Gentaro and Annie to be Matched as a Breeding Pair

[DanielR]

I just saw a YouTube video that said Kyoto City Zoo announced Gentaro and Annie would be moving to the Ueno Zoo and matched as a breeding pair. This is wonderful news for all involved. The move is to take place in late October.

The video description also mentions moving Momotaro’s younger sister, Momoka, to the Chiba City Zoo to be matched with Monta for another breeding pair. Another bit of great news.

Japan has done a wonderful job with these matches. There is still Shabani’s son, Kiyomassa, that is a perfect candidate for another breeding pair. I don’t know how many suitable females Japan has available for him but he is a fantastic young Silverback.

With the term silverback being used, I assume that the individuals in question are gorillas?

Good grief, I’m an idiot. Yes… they’re gorillas. Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: unfortunately I don’t see an option to edit my title. Sorry folks.

I am so so happy about this news. I follow Gentaro and Kintaro at Koyoto City Zoo, and Annie and Kiyomasa at Higashiyama Zoo. I also try to follow Haoko's family as well. Happy Happy Happy.
