Lost in Thought
Male Bonobo at the Fort Worth Zoo.
I have very mixed feelings about zoos- especially when it comes to the great apes- our closet relatives. The Bonobo is critically endangered in the wild. I know zoos do a lot to try and rebuild wild populations and, without them, most of us would never see these amazing creatures. Even though they have room to climb and explore, it's still as if they are in jail.
