bukari

PICTURE OF THE DAY -‘ bukari’ or ‘fu fu’ is the local common name for mealy meal, the traditional dish made of ground flour DRC people eat daily. Chimps do like to have their bukari balls every day too and, today, it is Papa Jeremie who is cooking the 120 mealy meal balls for them!

For your info, J.A.C.K. looks after 39 chimpanzee orphans and has to provide 140 kg of foud per day as well as 80 l of fluids (milk or tea) – which sometimes is very tough since our sanctuary lives on donations only!
