Manono, the adult male LOVES Claudine. he goes bonkers every time he sees her. Here he’s giving her a smooch through the fence. no doubt if the fence wasn’t there he would have leapt into her lap

We brought three bottles of vitamins in the shape of animals for the babies - little did I know how much we would need them!!! Here is Sandoa eating one in the shape of a dinosaur, but she’s pretty much licked him into an oval …

Last year, www.bonobos.com became one of our corporate sponsors. In case any body hasn’t heard of them, they make the most stylish pants around. The first pair of pants I’ve bought Brian that actually fit!

Bonobos.com adopted three bonobos last year, and in response to the food crisis, I got an e-mail from the president, Andy, who said they would donate $1 for every new customer! That means they are sending us another $6,000 in addition to the $1,720 they’ve already sent us, which is a fifth of the budget for the food shortfall!!

To show our gratitude, we did a photo shoot for them, featuring (what else?) the Congo pants, and stylish 100 percent organic cotton T-shirt. The pants were modeled by Brian, and introducing our female models: Waka (licking Brian’s head), Sake (peeping between Brian’s legs), and our very own Kata (fishing around in Brian’s pocket).

Like Tyra says on “America’s Next Top Model,” “Find the light, girls, find the light.”

OK adopted moms out there, here is Lukuru eating one of Brian’s experiment apples. They cost $6 each, so you can imagine how thrilled he was about it … but I didn’t care - I was giving everyone apples to help them with the vitamins!!
