Maryland Zoo: Chimpanzee nursery

We've been very fortunate at the Maryland Zoo over the past year.  Not one, but two new Chimpanzees were born to our troop of now 14.  As troops go, it's a pretty copacetic bunch.  Last July 5, Bunny gave birth to Lola, and the father was not our alpha male, but rather Mr. #2.  Bunny has significant hearing loss, which naturally was a concern, but she's proven herself to be an exceptional mother.  In late December, Raven gave birth to Violet.
