The bonobo Jumanji (he is the spitting image of his dad) is the 12 year old son of Akili. Father and son as well as Jumanji's mom (Marilyn-Lori) and sister (Muhdeblu) have recently come to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens from the San Diego Wild Animal Park."JuJuBe" or "Juge" as the keepers call him, is very intelligent, but a bit insecure. He has been a good father to two offspring, but he sometimes acts like a bratty teenager. Jumanji is close to his mother but has a hard time making friends within the bonobo group.
Jumanji is focused and enthusiastic for training, and he loves to trade items to the keepers for food. He knows over 30 separate behaviors and will sometimes test the trainers. He starts acting silly when he is bored with the training sessions.
