Bonobo Lucy Walking with Ball



Lucy, a five year old bonobo at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens shows off her ability to stand upright while she passes a ball behind her back, then continues to carry it in front. Her capacity to walk upright while manipulating a large object is unique, and something that the local peoples of the Democratic Republic of the Congo comment on as being "human-like."
