Bonobo "Yoga" Pose


At the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, Lucy seems to be putting her leg out in a bizarre kind of dance. She is more likely lounging on her mom, Lorel, while contorting her body as a sort of play. Young bonobos, like all apes, and humans, need proper maternal care to develop parental skills themselves.
