Justin Dixon+FollowColumbus Zoo community remembers MaxMax, the bonobo who brought so much life and laughter to the Columbus Zoo, has passed away at just 9 years old after a sudden medical emergency. Many of us have watched Max grow up here—his playful energy and strong bonds with both his troop and caretakers made him a favorite. The zoo’s team worked tirelessly to help him, but despite their efforts, Max’s health declined quickly due to gastric ulcers and possible heat stress. His loss is hitting the staff and visitors hard. For those who’ve seen Max in action, what are your favorite memories? How do you think the zoo can best honor his legacy? #Travel #ColumbusZoo #MaxTheBonobo00Share
