Further to this report: Planckendael Animal Park swaps bonobos ahead of Brexit and from checking Zootierliste, it appears a female moved from Berlin Zoo to Twycross late in 2018 (LIKEMBA, I think). The swap referred to, again if my reading of Zootierliste is correct, involves LINA, LOUISOKO, LUCUMA and RUBANI moving to Twycross and DIATOU, BANYA, KEKE and MOKONZI moving to Planckendael. However, there is nothing on the websites of either zoo to confirm this.
Almost - Diatou and Keke are still at Twycross, Kianga and Moko were the others that went to Belgium.
Thank you. So, my reading of Zootierliste was only correct-ish! I'm still not convinced Likemba has moved from Berlin Zoo to Twycross - again, no announcement (and it would leave Berlin with a very small group of 1.3).
Again I will have to correct you - I visited Twycross not long ago and Likemba is there. A move that may have slipped past you was male Limbuko returning to Berlin summer last year - he didn’t fit in at Cologne. So Berlin have 2.3 - males Santi and Limbuko, and females Opala, Monyama and Leki, Opala’s other daughter.

Who will be the father of Nayembi's second off-spring? Who is the father of Nayembi;s first offspring? What is the name of that offspring? Who is the father of Nayembi?
NAYEMBIs father is MOBIKISI, the father of her first daughter NILA is KASAI. The father of her two days ago born baby could be HERI, NXOTA II, PANISCO, maybee SAMBO too.
Nayembi is the daughter of Liboso and Mobikisi (both at Stuttgart currently). She is Mobikisi's only surviving offspring, and with him being a wildborn male this means she is very genetically important (her mother is also the daughter of two wildborn animals so in turn is equally important). She was born at Apenheul in 2006. Her first offspring is a daughter Nila, who was born whilst she was at Stuttgart. Nila's father is Kasai, the other breeding male at Stuttgart (and very successful at that, some might say too successful). As Bjoern says above, her father boils down to three likely candidates; brothers Heri and Nyota, or male Panisco. Panisco's younger brother Sambo is a possibility, but he is still quite young (seven this year) so he is unlikely.
According to the Wilhelma facebook group HUENDA gave birth to her second offspring (monday or tuesday night).
HAIBA gave birth to her third baby in Stuttgart on thursday (21st). Her first both babys died within the first year or were stillborn (2018).
NAYEMBIs boy got the name ZIKOMO. HUENDA s baby is a male, HAIBAs baby probably too according to zoo friends. Both boys have been sired by KASAI. MOBIKISI had no access to HAIBA and HUENDA during to the time period of insemination.
All Bonobos in the United States and Europe I've conducted a list of all Bonobos in Europe, according to this chat, as well as all the bonobos in the United States. I know the United States list has some flaws, so if anyone can tell me any errors they see I would appreciate it! I'm excited to talk about bonobos with everyone in the future.
Here is a correction of the San Diego bonobos. I will try to check the others when I have more time.

Is Lexi, the dominant female at Leipzig, the same female I have listed at Jacksonville Zoo? Lexi was born in 2000, but my document says Jacksonville has a Lexi who was born in 1999 to Bosondjo and Lorel. (It is hard to document the bonobos in the U.S. due to all the conflicting information on different sites, news articles, videos, etc., but I trust everything I've read on here.)
