Colombia transfers its last captive great ape to a sanctuary in Brazil


Pereira (AFP) – Yoko, a 38-year-old chimpanzee, eats with cutlery, plays ball, watches TV, and even paints — but he’s lonely. Rescued from illegal trafficking and “humanized” in the process, Colombia’s last great ape in captivity is now headed to a sanctuary in Brazil to reunite with his species.
