Bobo is a mean, vicious baboon who resides at the zoo. Despite Bobo’s rather hostile demeanor, Mr. Pignati considers Bobo his friend and frequently visits him and feeds him peanuts. He perhaps does this because it reminds him of his late wife, Conchetta—Mr. Pignati and Conchetta both loved animals, and before she died, they’d go to the zoo together. At the end of the novel, Mr. Pignati learns that Bobo has died, and the shock of this revelation causes him to suffer a fatal heart attack.
