Well, the beautiful job Vet Crispin did on Dilolo’s stitches didn’t do much good.

He absolutely hated being alone in the isolation enclosure and so somehow vaulted the electric fence to be with his friends. As soon as his buddies saw the stitches, they picked them all out, neat as budding doctors.

Crispin isolated Dilolo again, and luckily there were still two stitches left! Dilolo stayed put until Saturday when he was allowed back into the forest with his friends. The scar is healing nicely, and Dilolo, as you can see, is fine.

    These guys are such pistols — there is just something different about the bonobo! I love them!
