The Playful World of Bonobo Apes



via IFTTT Upendi, the bonobo baby, is quite feisty, as you can see straight away when he jumps up to the youngster and hits him. Don't mess with little Upendi, lol. When the video starts, I think it is Lola's Mum, Likemba, on the left. Upendi, the baby, is in front of the naughty youngster. Lola is just on the right of the two. And by the door, I think that is Cheeka, Upendi's mum. Lola and Upendi are quite the team and gang up on the naughty youngster who gets another right hook from baby Upendi. The youngster is not welcome, and Likemba chases after him. She returns Upendi and Lola. Likemba seems to be babysitting Upendi while Mum is squeezing her spot. The youngster gets close again, and Upendi is getting ready to battle again, but Likemba holds him back. I think the bonobo that rolls to the back trying to grab Upendi is Cheeka, his mum. She chases after him. In one door, out the other. Lola, meanwhile, has a go at the youngster again. Cheka catches up with Upendi and gets him back inside. Lola is hitting the youngster as he tries to grab her.
