Lukuru

lukuru-1

7 years old, female: Lukuru had been at Lola since she was two years old. Once just a whisper of a bonobo, she had grown into a sweet, gentle big sister. She had been promoted to Assistant Mama. She took care of all the new babies, protecting them from the rougher, naughtier bonobos, comforting them when they cried, and carrying them when they were tired. Lukuru was also something of a Public Relations consultant, since she was always inventing creative ways to engage the visitors, from chasing games to a kind of birdlike song she performed on occasion. She had even mastered the Japanese bow!

Sadly, Lukuru passed away, joining the other Angels.
