Chimpanzee flies to Germany....

No mention of airline of course... From news.com.au

AIRLINE crew onboard a flight from England to Germany was shocked to discover a baby chimpanzee amongst the passengers. Three-month-old bonobo Bili joined bemused passengers as he flew from Birmingham to Frankfurt to meet its new foster family, reports the UK's Telegraph.

Bili kicked back and was left to enjoy the in-flight entertainment alongside his new German zoo keeper.

Twycross Zoo in England had nursed the tiny ape since birth after he was rejected by his birth mother Maringa.

But Frankfurt Zoo came forward and said they had a female bonobo trained in fostering, and Bili was soon on his way to meet his new family.

"We were so excited when we found out Bili had a foster family to go to," Kim Riley at Twycross Zoo to the Telegraph.

"We've never had any of our animals travel on board an aircraft before, but he is just like a little baby."

Bili will go into its own enclosure in Frankfurt and faces thirty days in quarantine when it arrives.
