Sweet little Lomela is definately the bigshot at the nursery. Since Kata is now BFF with Eleke, Lolo’s has transferred her considerable affections to Lukuru – the smallest in the nursery. They make quite a pair – Lomela has eaten her way into her six year old body and Lukuru is still barely bigger than a banana.
Lolo watches over Lukuru every night in her nearby box, and the mamas often come in to find Lomela staring at Lukuru lovingly. Mama Micheline is both Lomela’s substitute mother and Lukurus, and so the rest of the mamas call them sisters:)
Lomela grabs Lukuru’s foot!

Aw, Christine, our babies are best buds! Lukuru is such a tiny little girl, I hope Lolo can teach her to eat like a pro so she’ll grow big and strong.
It is remarkable to me how Lolo can be so loving and affectionate after the terrible things she’s seen and experienced. She’s truly one of the best people I’ve never met.

Wow! Lolo is so big and full compared to how she arrived at Lola. She’s beautiful inside and out and I am so happy to hear that she is watching over Lukuru. What a sweet girl! I really think we all knew she was special the minute we laid our eyes on her. Didn’t we? She melted my heart, NO DOUBT! And she still is. I love you Lomela!
Amazing that Sheryl’s and my bonobos have adopted one another! Too sweet! Vanessa, if it is possible, can you keep an eye out for a clear picture of Lomela holding Lukuru? Lomela is so beautiful…it is hard to believe that just two years ago she was that emaciated, hairless little thing…and her disposition…it does make you believe there is good in the world after all.
