COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium announced on Monday it welcomed a new baby bonobo last month.

The yet-to-be-named baby boy was born on Aug. 11 to first-time mom Kibbi, the zoo announced on social media. The newborn is the 18th bonobo welcomed into the zoo's bonobo habitat, "a milestone moment for our zoo and for bonobo conservation," the post said.

"Both Kibibi and her baby are healthy and doing well. While it took Kibibi a little time to adjust to motherhood, she's showing wonderful care and attentiveness to her son," the zoo said. "In bonobo society, male offspring often remain with their mothers for life, forming strong lifelong bonds." • The yet-to-be-named baby boy was born on Aug. 11 to first-time mom Kibbi.
