Dear Friends,
Good news for today! Remember, I promised last week I would update on Ekolo’s introduction.

Everything went very well. It took sometime because it was actually Ekolo who didn’t want the others to come near and he showed fear on his face many times.

But it was as if Tika understood what was going on and he immediately ran to protect Ekolo each time he heard the little one shouting…

Two chimps of the nursery group were extremely happy to see Ekolo back:
1/ Tika, of course, who has always been like a ‘big brother’ to Ekolo

It feels good to see the little one back in his group and we are all glad things went so well.

Tika is a good ‘brother’ and he is never too far from Ekolo who follows him most of the time.

c’est merveilleux qu’Ekolo retrouve son groupe en bonne santé ! Tika a un rôle précieux dans le groupe des petits… caresses à tous
