She was born on March 17, 1988 at the Columbus Zoo to Lulu (mother, from the Bronx Zoo) and Sunshine (father, from the San Francis- co Zoo). And Binti Jua means “Daughter of Sunshine” in Swahili. After being hand-reared at the San Francisco Zoo, Binti was moved to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago to be trained for mother- hood in 1991. Her humanitarian act of rescuing a little boy in the summer of 1996 made the headlines and her gentleness made the 8-year-old gorilla an animal heroine. Her 17-month-old baby, Koola, clutched her back throughout the incident. If a Lion Could Talk If a Lion Could Talk (1998) is a book written by Stephen Budiansky which investigates the animal intelligence and consciousness. Budiansky’s cover story in this issue surveys the often counterintuitive findings of the new science of dogs.
