Chimp ID: Burrito

September 16, 2013 by Elizabeth

This is Part 2 of our series of blog posts on chimpanzee identification. (For last week’s post on Annie’s distinguishing characteristics, click here.)

Burrito is the only male in the Cle Elum Seven, and he is probably the easiest chimp to identify. For one thing, he’s a guy:

People often comment that Burrito is “fluffier” than the other chimpanzees, and that’s because his hair is often pilo erect (standing on end due to excitement):

Unlike Annie, Burrito has lots of white coloration on his face:

He’s missing the top of his right ear:

And of course you can always tell Burrito by his charm:
