Check out the Chimpmas parties we set up for the chimps!
Check out the video of Ike’s and Zulu’s Birthday Gardening Party! Everyone had so much fun exploring all the enrichment items that our wonderful donors sent to help us give the chimps an engaging and enriching experience! It truly was a very happy (belated) birthday party for Ike and Zulu?❤️
In general, primates are social animals. There are many benefits for being a part of a social system, one being protection. Of course, there are some exceptions to this general principle, for instance, the male orangutan, perhaps for the purpose of restraining the number of members competing for the same recourses, but this is not a common theme among the primate order.
The Primate Rescue Center rescued its first monkey, Gizmo, in 1987 and began a journey which has now spanned 34 years and given refuge to hundreds of primates along the way.
