Lucy Playing in Water


Lucy, a young female bonobo at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is playing in the shallow moat in the exhibit. Her group is known to soak their hard "monkey biscuits" to soften them, as well as play with the fish and turtles that live in the moat. Bonobos are known to frequent pools in the wild and unlike other apes, they do not seem to fear water.
