Tea With Honey and Lemon

One of the cutest moments in the whole ordeal was the honey and lemon tea - everyone of the 60 bonobos was given warm tea with honey and lemon - we were trying everything at that stage! Masisi, another bonobo who was really sick, recovered and here is Mama Yvonne giving her honey and lemon tea out of a tea cup - tell me that's not the cutest!!!!

We still need more than $20,000 for bonobo food - please help if you can. www.friendsofbonobos.org/support.htm or lolayabonobo.wildlifedirect.org

Masisi

Masisi is big! look at the photos of her last year and this year! can you see how much bigger she is? i didn't get a good photo because all she did was run around. up trees, down trees, into the bushes, stealing my camera bag ... the only photo i got of her was when she took a break to chew on a stick for a while. whew! a big change from last year when all she did was sit on her mama Henriette and never get off!





ok, i know there are lots of anxious mamas out there for Lomela. she is in with the big group now!!! the only problem is there is a known dirt thrower - keza a big male who every time i pull out my camera slings a fistful of mud ... but i'm going to do it, i know you're all counting on seeing what a big, beautiful bonobo she is now!
