Comments on: Kinah Meets Grandma Dixie http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress/default/kinah-meets-grandma-dixie/ Thu, 08 Jan 2009 08:59:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Margaret http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress/default/kinah-meets-grandma-dixie/#comment-34473 Margaret Tue, 03 Apr 2007 13:56:39 +0000 http://www.sandiegozoo.org/wordpress/default/kinah-meets-grandma-dixie/#comment-34473 Thanks, Janet. Now I've got it. Marbelina became pregnant after she got to SDZ. I misunderstood, and thought she was pregnant when she arrived. Now I realize that Koni is from the troop at SDZ, and hence Dixie is Kinah's paternal grandmother. Glad to know that Dixie didn't care about the family relationship and took to her granddaughter immediately anyway. Thanks, Janet.

I may not have been clear about the family relationships of the guenons in the story. I'll try again. Marbelina is the mother of Kinah. Marbelina was the animal who came to us from Richmond. Dixie is not related to Marbelina, but is actually Kinah's grandmother (from Dixie's son Koni who is Kinah's father). Dixie was born here at the zoo. Hope this clears things up and thank you for reading. Janet Margaret-

Can't wait for the next installment. I have one question. You mentioned that Marbelina came from the Richmond Zoo in Virginia, and that Dixie in SDZ is her grandmother. Was Marbelina born in SDZ, or did Dixie also come from Richmond? I read recently that Richmond (VA) Zoo has the largest collection of primates in the US. If so, it makes sense that more than one of the Swamp Monkeys at SDZ came from Richmond. Since I live in Richmond, my eyes and ears perk up with this continuing story. Hopefully this happened a few weeks ago, and the end of the story is that Kinah is now part of a " new" family group. Or, is this ongoing as you are weekly telling the story? Janet, thanks for the great continuing story. Can't wait for the next installment.

My computer has been down for two weeks, and I had not seen little Kinah in the nursery the last few times I was there. What a wonderful feeling to know that she is doing so well, and away from the nursery for the best of all possible reasons. Janet, the work you and your fellow nursery " moms" do is absolutely awe-inspiring. So many needy babies requiring your 24-hour attention. Thank you many, many times over!

How like a human child that Kinah put on a dramatic display of protest until the nursery keeper was out of sight -- just like a child's display when being dropped off at Day Care until his mother can no longer be seen.
