Lisoko Is Nearly 8 Months Old!

ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen’s chimp infant Lisoko is now almost 8 months old. He’s slowly becoming more and more independent. Mother Jahaga leaves him more and more often to 7-year-old Dayo, who proudly carries the little one around and even climbs with him to the top of the tree. As you can see in the video, he takes care of Lisoko very nicely. Also, Yumma and even the 5-year-old Kojo are now allowed to go for a romp on the exhibit with Lisoko. Lisoko is still being nursed, but he is already eating solid foods like salad or carrots. He can already walk on all fours. However, when his mother as well as the other chimpanzees move too far away from him, he is not fully independent yet and he calls for Jahaga.
