Staff At The Mafou Sanctuary Couldn’t Believe Their Eyes When They Discovered What This Gorilla Was Holding

Suspicious Behaviour

“Younger males Kibu and Nkamum once challenged Bobo for his position, they were never successful and no longer attempt to take control,” explained Elissa, a sanctuary employee who takes care of Bobo. When Bobo started acting strangely, the caretakers became concerned. What was he up to?

Ape Action Africa

The sanctuary was funded by a charity called Ape Action Africa. It is home to over 300 apes and monkeys. Elissa had been the one to raise Bobo so she knew him very well. When he started acting up she made sure to keep an eye on him and his primates, in case they were in any sort of danger.
