Moody Blue Bonobo at Jacksonville Zoo

This attractive adolescent is one of four new bonobos that have arrived at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens from the San Diego Wild Animal Park. Her name is "Muhdeblu," pronounced like the rock band. The nickname that the keepers have given her is "Moody" or "Moo."

Muhdeblu is seven years old and still dependent on her mother, named Marilyn-Lori. She is starting to become sexually mature, and has also helped raise an infant at San Diego. Exposure to infant rearing will help Mudheblu develop mother raising skills herself.
