Keeva was born March 12 at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, but she recently made the journey down to Tampa Bay’s Lowry Park Zoo to get acquainted with her new troop and mother — a 32-year-old chimp named Abby that knows a thing or two about raising orphans. It’s a fairy-tale ending to a long journey.
