At the end of February 2024, a baby bonobo named Mayele Frans was born at a wildlife sanctuary. The little one immediately captured attention with big, round eyes and silky fur, showing the curiosity and innocence typical of infancy.
Mayele Frans is carefully cared for by its mother and lives in a safe environment, with sanctuary staff monitoring its health and daily behavior. The video captures moments of play, exploration, and interaction with the mother, demonstrating natural development and integration into the bonobo group.
The arrival of Mayele Frans not only brings joy to the sanctuary staff but also helps raise awareness about the protection of endangered primates, especially bonobos, a species facing serious threats.
