Zoo Says Ape’s Mysterious Pregnancy Occurred Through a Hole in the Wall, Literally
Zoo superintendent Jun Yamano told Vice that identifying Momo’s mischievous partner had taken so long because the gibbon was a protective mother.
“It took us two years to figure it out because we couldn’t get close enough to collect samples—she was very protective of her child,” Yamano said.Vertagear has an ongoing Valentines Day Sale from its His & Hers collection of gaming chairs.

The only thing separating the cage from the exhibition area was a makeshift partition: a board with holes. According to Vice, Yamano explained that the hole, which measured a little more than a third of an inch in diameter, had permitted the apes’ rendezvous.“We think it’s very likely that on one of the days that Itoh was in the exhibition space, they copulated through a hole,” the zoo superintendent stated.
