Excited to share that I'm returning to Kokolopori Bonobo Research, this time not as a research assistant, but as a PhD student. I'm going to collect behavioural data on wild #bonobos for my PhD Ape Behaviour & Ecology Group 🐵 Grateful to continue working with these amazing creatures. See you in 6 months! ✨

Some time ago I witnessed Ndjili emerging from the forest holding Mpiko in a clumsy way while dragging her placenta. I wasn't sure Mpiko would survive.
Fast forward almost four months, and I'm delighted to see that Ndjili has become a wonderful mother and Mpiko is doing great! 🩷

I cannot go to Kinshasa without paying a visit to Friends of Bonobos
