The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

Last week, veteran photographer and ZooBorns contributor A.J. Haverkamp snapped pictures of Likemba, Zoo Berlin’s baby Bonobo. Only defined as a separate species in 1929, Bonobos differ from chimps largely for their more peaceful and easy going social dynamics.

    Of course it really would not be fair to the bonobo when you got tired of owning it, would it? Animals are meant to be left in the wild. Go adopt 2 of the thousands of dogs uthanized daily in the U.S. You just want to be a bigshot moneybag lawyer who says you bought a hundred thousand dollar monkey. Shrew Jew

    I love monkey’s however, I am not too keen after seeing that a big one had attacked a woman in america and ripped her face off, not to cute when big eh.

    Monkey’s are lovely but they should be out in the wild, and not kept as pets. As they get older they become aggressive and whilst they are initially cute, it is still important to remember that they are animals.

    Isn’t it fabulous how animals can be born out of the wild, yet humans can raise them to become strong. I think though it is much nicer to see these animals re-released into the wild rather than keeping them in captivity.
