Twycross Zoo Chimpanzee group sizes

[lorna_wilkie]

I'm doing an analysis of captive chimpanzee group sizes throughout the world, and was wondering if anyone here knows the group size(s) at Twycross Zoo?

I've been able to find an article from 1998 saying there were 26 chimps, split into 9 different groups of various sizes, the largest being a group of 7. According to the data I've collected from ISIS, they now have 29 chimpanzees, so what is the group structure now?

I've never been to the zoo myself and I've been unable to find anything on their website or from an internet search - apart from that journal article.

Really appreciate any help!

Twycross Zoo now houses 28 Chimps with 2 groups of 6, and a few Chimps split into pairs.

I have a list of all the Chimp names if you want me to send you them, or a list of the Chimps groups.

Do feel free to PM me.

If your looking for stats through out the world this site ChimpCARE.org has a listing of all the facilities in the US that have chimpanzees and the total number of chimpanzees, most of the zoo's are all in one group with the exception of the LP Zoo in chicago and probably one or two more, but most are all in one group.

If you could send me both, that would be great! Thank you. The more information I can get, the better!

Thanks for the website, would be really useful, but for the analysis, I've got to base the data solely on what I can get from the ISIS website.

Do you know how many chimps are in each group at Lincoln Park zoo?
