Oh, no, Kathy! How sad that must have been. Is this something that happens often? I'm so glad Frank let go of this baby. You got a terrific shot of the action. #11292003

This was a scary moment for me. I was at the Los Angeles Zoo the day before a fight over a baby Chimp resulted in the death of the little one. Not wanting to let go, Frank at the San Diego Safari Park, had a tug of war with Mother Imani but let go right away.
