Instead of idlyawaiting banana handouts, the chimps get to manipulate tools, just as they do in the wild. Last year, when 13 gorillasmoved into Zoo Atlanta’s new $4.5 million rain forest, they mated and formed families—a rarity among captives. “Zooshave changed from being mere menageries to being celebrations of life,” says John Gwynne of the Bronx Zoo. “As thewild places get smaller, the role of zoos gets larger, which means intensifying the naturalness of the experience for bothvisitors and animals.”
