Thanks to all of you who made this happen for her,she sure is one tough girl. boys what a sight it must be to watch Kinah jump and leap about and swim like a pro. all this energy is from the love and attention she has gotten .It’s great to see her so happy.

Do they playfully chase each other on land? I love the picture of the otter in the water watching, and possibly playing with, the monkey tail on the branch above. Thanks, Kecia,

Bunzi is calm yet watchful. Big brother Jaribu seems to be the most protective. The monkeys and otters do share the same swimming space and can be seen swimming at the same time on occassion. Spot-necked otter Mugo (born in January) especially enjoys swimming and playing with the monkeys as does her big brother Khalil. Kinah has been seen swimming alone as well as with her friends.

She is just full of new thrills, and can probably hardly contain herself from excitement. Watching how cautious the panda, tiger, and lion mothers are about their young ones exploring new situations like that, I am curious about Bunzi's reaction.Was Bunzi nearby when she went for her first swim? Since she tends to protect Kinah, as an adopted mother, it would seem logical that either Bunzi or one of her young friends would have been nearby. Do the monkeys swim in the same area as the otters? If so that must be some sight when they are all out in the water at the same time. Kinah is one amazing little monkey!
