Hello, my name is
Angie the 1st

About Me

Angie was born on December 21, 1987, to her parents, Foxy and Spock, at the Coulston Foundation research lab in Alamogordo, New Mexico. She was allowed to remain with her mother for only two days before being taken from Foxy and brought to the nursery. While in the nursery, records indicate that she was used in an “x-ray and measuring study.” When she was just over two years old, Angie was removed from the nursery and placed in a cage. At three and a half years old, she entered a research study in which she was anesthetized every other day for two weeks, then every week for a month. Two years later, she was used in another research study where 10% of her blood volume was taken on more than one occasion.

In 2002, Save the Chimps rescued Angie from the Coulston Foundation after they closed their doors. Now, as part of Kiley’s Family, she loves exploring the island and has taken up painting, an enriching activity offered at the sanctuary. Angie is a very sweet chimp, with a peculiar habit of shaking her fists at her caregivers and gazing deeply and intently into their eyes.
