2022年9月
今年の12月で4歳になるキンタロウ。
体も大きくなりました。
でも彼を初めて見たお客さんの多くは、「赤ちゃんゴリラがいる！」という反応です。
モモタロウ達に比べるとかなり小さくて可愛いし、ゲンキに抱かれてたり授乳されてたりするのも理由の１つだと思います。
それとキンタロウの年齢を知って「4年近く経ってまだこんなに小さいんや？」と驚く人も多いので、動物はもっと成長が早く、この小ささなら赤ちゃんだと感じるんだと思います。
キンタロウが赤ちゃんゴリラと呼ばれる日を卒業するのはいつなのか？
とりあえず授乳を完全に卒業しないと無理かな？😆

Kintaro will be 4 years old this December.
He has also grown in size.
But many visitors who see Kintaro for the first time refer to him as a baby.
I think it’s because Kintaro is the smallest and cutest member of his family and he still gets hugged by Genki from time to time.
And to those who mistakenly believe that gorillas grow up faster, Kintaro seems to look younger than his age.
I’m looking forward to when Kintaro will no longer be called a baby.
