This short video clip was taken on Sunday, the 3rd of August, at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. The first scene shows Lucy, the young female bonobo, soaking, and then eating a monkey biscuit with one hand, as she moves forward in the zoo moat.
The red plastic "floatie" is an enrichment toy that the animals play with. The wires seen below is electric fencing, which is part of the containment system on the high walls surrounding the exhibit.
The bonobo females, identified by their their pink bottoms, relax on the bank next to the moat and groom each other. At one point, Kaleb, a young male, pushes an adult female, with a sharp movement of his arm. The female pulls him toward her, then hugs and grooms him.
