Wellington Zoo 30

The chimpanzees weren’t talking, but neither
were they screeching or grunting or hoo-hoo-
hooing. As far as somewhat distant human
ears could tell they had opted, the entire
lot and totally, for silence. Add to
which serene countenances, and movements
graceful-deliberate enough to be
part of a ritual, and the steep path to
the enclosure began to seem a matter
of attaining the high altitudes
favoured by gurus—while one might think a
gaping hole existed in the zoo’s
perimeter-management systems that
levitation not taken into account.
