In this charming video from the famous gorilla family at Kyoto Zoo, we watch Riki, the adolescent gorilla, sulking quietly as his sisters devote all their attention to baby Sumomo. While Sumomo is being cared for — cuddled, watched over, and played with by the older female gorillas — Riki finds himself left out and visibly discontent.
Though he doesn’t act out dramatically, his body language says everything: he slumps back, avoids direct interaction, and gives occasional glances toward the playful group. It’s clear that he’s craving attention, perhaps longing for his earlier role and companionship that’s now shifted to the baby gorilla.
