I arrived at Save the Chimps in April 2023 after the Ohio Department of Agriculture awarded the sanctuary custody of me, April, Cash, and Lucy. I was the first to enter our new home, immediately running the length of the play yard and exploring the upper level. We settled in quickly, embracing and grooming each other while greeting the sanctuary staff. One of my favorite things is the variety of enrichment we’re offered, especially bamboo toothbrushes and scarves. After completing quarantine, we began the process of integrating into Seve’s family, spending time with new friends and building relationships.
I’m an intelligent and curious chimp, always eager for a mental challenge and quick to learn new things. I love scarves, using them in playful and creative ways, and I’m extremely loyal to my friends. On the island, you’ll often find me using the ropes to climb to the highest parts of the structures. I have a playful side, especially with my human caregivers, and I’m always attentive when grooming my chimp friends. I engage with enrichment activities frequently, particularly anything water-based like misters and bubbles, or items I can wear. Each day, I embrace new opportunities to play, explore, and strengthen my bonds with others.
