North American Bonobo Population

Are these records all accurate and is there a list of deceased bonobos and their info? If so, is there a family tree of some kind for at least part of this list. If not, I may make one for Kanzi and his immediate family.

Thank you for your efforts to catalogue these wonderful apes.
 
Also does anybody know what happened to Mulika, a daughter of Matata born in 1989? She appears in videos with Kanzi, but I can't find any useful info anywhere!

The information provided on the prior page should be accurate. The only thing not shown on that list is the exchange of bonobos between Columbus and Milwaukee, but it is mentioned in the comments below it.

I do not keep any records of deceased individuals on this thread, but there is information online regarding deceased individuals. There are also other people on here that may know more about them, @BjoernN and @ShonenJake13 are very knowledgeable people when it comes to bonobos in captivity.
 
His name is Kalind, he was born on 4/4/1977. His father was Kakowet and his mother was Linda. Unfortunately he drowned in the moat at the Fort Worth Zoo on 7/23/1992. He was #7 of the 10 bonobos born to Linda and Kakowet. It is funny to see that the zoo used to dress them!

Greetings! I have a couple questions (I have thousands, but for today, only two!)
1. Is the bonobo studbook database available online?
2. Does anyone know what happened to bonobo Tutapenda (North America 380)? He was born October 29, 2007 at the San Diego Zoo to Lolita and Yenge. He was rejected at birth by Lolita and adopted by Ikela. He was among the most adorable babies I've ever seen. I can't find him in any of the listings.

Thanks in advance!
 
I believe the answer to question 1 is no, although it would be good to have a Bonobo equivalent of 'Gorillas Land'. And question 2 the answer is he is sadly no longer with us - at least according to Bonobo Banner - Bonobo Pictorial Studbook (on Facebook) where the entry for Mchumba (No.271) at Fort Worth shows maternal half-sibling Tutapenda as deceased. I have seen a photo of him and you are right he was adorable. I did ask San Diego Zoo what became of him but they never replied.

Unfortunately, little Tutapenda accidentally strangled himself with a blanket in the bedrooms on 7/15/2013. This is something the San Diego Zoo would never report.
