Chimp ID: Negra

November 3, 2013 by Elizabeth

Today we conclude our series of blog posts on chimpanzee identification with Negra. (If you missed the posts about Annie, Burrito, Foxie, Jamie, Jody, or Missy, click on their names.)

Negra is the oldest of the chimps at the sanctuary, and because of her wise and regal air, we call her our Queen. Negra has a mostly dark face with white freckles on her chin and in her ears:

She is missing the top half of her left ear:

She has more bottom lip than she knows what to do with:

She’s a big lady with an ample belly:

Here you can see how her girth compares with Jody’s:

She loves to relax with a blanket draped over her head:
