Monkeys and otters are notoriously social animals that love to " play." Hopefully they will peacefully co-exist in Ituri Forest, and bring each species additional enrichment and rewards from their interactions. Kinah is sure one really lucky baby monkey! Imagine all the care she has received, and now the incredible adventures that await she and Bunzi in their whole new " world." So much to see and do, explore, make friends, learn to co-exist with completely different species, and to get to do it for most of their life. Wow, what an incredible story! Only at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park would you find such variety and " spice of life." Can you imagine the " fun" the otters are now having with their young new neighbors. None of them will have many dull moments for a while. I love the picture of the Swamp Monkey " making friends" with the otter. Monkeys and otters are notoriously social animals that love to " play."

It's a nice contrast to hear about a group of animals who are very social and in fact, rely upon each other for contentment and good quality of life. Ituri Forest is a beautiful area to visit and while I don't need any encouragement to stop by, I am inspired to make time for extra photo opportunities! The update on Kinah is wonderful news, too.

It is so great that Kinah and Bunzi have now got even more monkey friends to play with. How does Bunzi react to all the other monkeys being around her little friend " Kinah?" Has she become less protective as Kinah has grown? How did Dixie do with all these new animals around her? Nerissa, how exciting it must have been to watch all the fun and exploration.

How did Dixie do with all these new animals around her?

It sounds like it going to be a " barrel " of fun watching them. sorry for the pun,I couldn't resist. Kinah wouldn't have done so well if it weren't for the loving care that she got from all of you.
