A new baby primate peers out from a blanket held by keeper Janet Hawes 
at the San Diego Zoo's nursery, Wednesday, April 28, 2004. Born on 
April 22, the little bonobo was not being cared for by his mother and 
was brought to the Zoo's nursery where he is receiving round-the-clock 
care. The bonobo is a rare species of chimpanzee native to the forests 
and lowlands of the Democratic Republic of Congo (news - web sites). 
Incorrectly but commonly called 'pygmy chimpanzee,' this species is 
only slightly smaller than the more commonly recognized species of 
chimpanzee and has dark pigmentation on its feet, hands and face. The 
San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park are one of the 
few zoological institutions in the United States to work with this 
species. (AP Photo/San Diego Zoo)
