Sangala sits on Kitoko's shoulder, Sabaki is sitting in front of her.
Sabaki is Kitoko's son. Sangala is Fifi's half-sister's daughter. Fifi was not able to rear Sangala due to health reasons. Kitoko was still pregnant at that time and took over. This is why she has now "twins".
Lazima played with her younger sister Qisenge. When it got a bit louder in the group, Qisenge seeked shelter with Lazima. It's so nice to see, that Lazima, who grew up as an "only child" is growing up and takes over responsibilities.

Lush 1300m2 (13400ft²) chimpanzee exhibit at Belo horizonte zoo. The zoo houses 2 chimpanzees nowadays (the picture is from 2018. The exhibit has changed nothing since then, but at this time there were three individuals)
In pretty much every Zoo I visited, even modern and big exhibits, great apes have no acces to trees, they are either weired, to stop the apes to climb on them, or are not even present. My question is why. (With few exeptions like the Gorilas exhibit in Apenheul) Zoos don't give them acces...
