Character | |||||||||||||||||
Although the individual appeared to distrust most humans, sometimes she was very emotionally dependent. When she was separated, she squeezed the keeper's hands for awhile. She gave birth in 1998 and 1999, but since there were problems, such as inability to hold the babies correctly and a reluctance to breast-feed, the babies were separated from their mother to be hand raised. She was considerate, often grooming and playing with post-weaning babies. She also groomed and played with Mamy. |
