Tragic Loss: Cincinnati Zoo's Young Bonobo Succumbs to Respiratory Illness
A 3-year-old bonobo named Amali has died at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden due to a respiratory syntactical virus (RSV) outbreak within the bonobo troop. Bonobo babies are highly susceptible to RSV and secondary infections. The zoo did not disclose the number of affected bonobos but stated that the troop is showing signs of recovery.
