chimpanzees

Hi all, I’m wanting to do some research about the Chimpanzees at the Oregon Zoo, and this forum was recommended to me. I’ve gone to visit them quite a few times recreationally, but I’m hoping to learn more about them in the hopes of doing some research in the future. If anyone is familiar with...

Hi everyone, I’m Faith and I’m an amateur primate enthusiast and anthropology student. I’m hoping to talk to some people who love the chimps at the Oregon Zoo! Nice to meet everyone and I hope I’ll get to talk to some of you more :)

Hey everyone I am a medical student from Germany studying in Wroclaw and I would love to work on a personal research project focuses on animal behaviour in captivity versus natural environment. Im hoping to observe and document for at leat a year.I’m looking for advice on: Which two species...

Chimpanzees thrive in zoos and are not traditionally though of much. However, populations of wild primates are declining fast. In the lifetime of one chimpanzee, they could be in a dire situation. Most chimps in zoos are generic mixes or unknown subspecies. Europe has a rather developed plan to...

Lush 1300m2 (13400ft²) chimpanzee exhibit at Belo horizonte zoo. The zoo houses 2 chimpanzees nowadays (the picture is from 2018. The exhibit has changed nothing since then, but at this time there were three individuals)

Hi all, Does anyone have information on Twycross Zoo's current chimpanzees? I can't find an up-to-date list of names anywhere and I know a few have passed away in the past 5 years or so. I have this list, but I'm not sure if it is correct. Coco Peter Jomar Tommy Kibali Noddy Rosie Tojo Lottie...

Apparently there is a chimpanzee sanctuary outside of Montreal, primarily home to around fifteen chimpanzees and several other animals. At least one chimp came from Savauge in 2002. Has anyone visited this sanctuary? On an aside note, I first learned about this today at a vegan convention me...

Hey so we now have a lowland gorillas in Europe, a bonobos in Europe and an orangutans in Europe page, so there's clearly one that we're missing! This will without a shadow of a doubt be the hardest to update/get 100%, as there are around 1000 chimps currently living in Europe...! I will attempt...

Every so often, kids hear about famous people buying chimpanzees, and decide they want one, too. The Kardashians were photographed with a pet chimp, and that Louis kid in One Direction said he wanted one "just like Michael Jackson had." (Guess he doesn't know that even MJ couldn't keep up with...

Do we need a new ZooChat forum dedicated to zoo history? Not to memorabilia, which are the products, but a place where we can chat about the lives of the animals, the issues swirling around zoos in the past, and how the zoos evolved? I write a blog, Chimp Trainer's Daughter, and it gets...

Why did zoos feel compelled to dress up their primates, as recently as the 1980s? Or for that matter, why do marketers now know that their ads will score big if they put clothes on chimps? As I grow older (and older), I vote for au naturel for all, in my blog post, For Ladies Only! (Men are...
