Ape breaks glass at zoo exhibit during visitor interaction

The Memphis Zoo has closed its bonobo exhibit for repairs after a primate damaged the safety glass while leaping towards onlookers. The incident, which occurred on Thursday, is believed to have been triggered by visitor behavior. Although the barrier remained intact and no injuries were reported, the zoo emphasized the importance of respectful conduct at exhibits for the well-being of the animals. During the closure, bonobos will have limited access to their outdoor habitat.
