William How one feels about zoos is likely inversely proportionate with one’s place on the food chain (the more likely one is to be eaten, the more positive one feels about carnivores being caged). Kumanichi notes that a male baby chimpanzee dubbed “Ren” has been moved to public display at the tender age of one. Apparently, Ren was born between Marc (male, estimated 43 years old) and Milk (female, 16 years old) - so you old guys out there: Don’t get your hopes down! The zoo has free parking and is a brisk 15 minute walk from the eponymous tram stop. It was located there due to its abundance of water springs, providing an unlimited amount of pristine water (it was originally located near Suizenji Park but moved due to lack of space). Bring some change to enjoy attractions such as the glass house and elevated tram. Kumanichi has a dozen adorable photos of the lil’ guy (pro hint: humans should avoid posing like this in public to avoid jail - but, hey, he’s only one). https://kumanichi.com/articles/977376
