Sept. 8 (UPI) -- The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio announced the birth of a baby bonobo, an event hailed as a milestone for the conservation of the endangered species.
The zoo said on social media that the male bonobo was born Aug. 11 to first-time mother Kibibi and is now the 18th member of the facility's troop.
Kabibi's mother, Kimia, was born at the zoo in 1997, and the new mom's grandparents, Susie and Jimmy, are still living at the zoo.
