Memphis Zoo temporarily closed its bonobo habitat after one of the animals smashed a layer of safety glass at the exhibit, according to the zoo. The bonobo was not injured, and no guests were hurt. The zoo said that the bonobos may have been triggered by “disruptive behavior” and emphasized the importance of respectful conduct around the exhibits. Josiah Long, who captured the video, said he and his friends were beating their chests “a little bit, not really expecting anything” to happen before
