Baby bonobo thriving after rough start at zoo

Things are looking up for a baby bonobo recently born at the San Diego Zoo.



Mali was in critical condition her first few weeks of life, according to zookeepers. They said she still has some medical problems but is growing stronger. In fact, caregivers at the zoo have even started introducing her to fellow bonobos.

Mali was born Sept. 4. Her name means "something valuable" in Swahili.
