Tokyo Friends of the Zoo

Animals and Zoos
Summer 2009 issue (No.675)

The cover features a mother and baby Black Rhinoceros at Ueno Zoo.
We will introduce the detailed story of how Chimpanzee came to use "empty can recycling machines," the actual training of African Bush Elephant to carry them out, the differences in the skeletons of African Bush Elephant and Asian Elephant elephants, and right-handed (!) snakes.
