Madame Yvonne really put all her heart in taking care of the monkeys 🐒... I love to watch how she loves them and takes care of them ... like they are her real children .. beautiful 🥰

[@guymontag9577]

Bonobos are APES, no longer classified as monkeys. Monkeys have tails and two hands, apes have no tail and 4 hands.
