Overview
- Mixi, 24, delivered her fourth infant on December 7 and is caring for it well, according to zoo director Christina Geiger.
- The infant currently clings to its mother's belly, so visitors may struggle to spot it.
- Frankfurt manages bonobos in two neighboring enclosures with individuals moving between subgroups to mirror natural social dynamics.
- Bonobos live mostly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and face heavy pressure from poaching and habitat loss.
- The Zoological Society of Frankfurt co-manages Lomami National Park with Congo’s park authority to safeguard bonobos and support sustainable local livelihoods.
