She Alloparents - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

A female Francois langur is
A monkey always ready to
Assist in the parenting biz
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
Called alloparenting, each she
Cares for other langurs' offspring,
So Mom can take a break and be
Knowing an 'aunt' will give caring.
Meanwhile the Dads and other guys
Don't really want to get involved
On offspring issues that arise,
Knowing the gals will get it solved.

In the he or she parent game,
A lot of humans play the same.
