About Me

I arrived at Save the Chimps in April 2023 after the Ohio Department of Agriculture awarded STC custody of me, Anna, Cash, and Lucy. We settled in quickly, embracing and grooming each other while warmly greeting the sanctuary staff. One of my favorite things is my pink stuffed monkey, which I love to carry around, often draping it across my back as I walk. After completing quarantine, which is standard for new arrivals, we began the process of integrating into Seve’s family. Each day, we spend time with new friends, building relationships so that someday we can live with the full group and have full-time access to the island.

I’m an intelligent and social chimp who loves meeting and interacting with others. During introductions, I made fast friends with nearly every chimp I met, always quick to embrace them. Exploring my island home for the first time, I excitedly ran from structure to structure, enjoying the wide-open spaces. I have a soft spot for blankets and stuffed animals and can be a bit mischievous—sometimes dropping my toys on the care staff’s heads if they pass under the overhead tunnel! Most of my time is spent interacting with my family members, and I love being surrounded by my growing chimpanzee community.
