Getting a Ride

Kansas City Zoo

 

After the death of his mother (Rachel), Milo is with the female, Dafina, who has taken a key role as caretaker. After spending time in the open area, Dafina carried Milo into the woods to explore and play. Other females also go into the woods with them. Milo’s relationship with Dafina is not new. As Rachel’s health deteriorated, Dafina started to take on some of the maternal responsibilities, which have also been shared by other females in the colony.
