Today is International Women’s Day! I feel so blessed to work in such a female dominated field, it is truly empowering. Not only is our field dominated by women, but so is our chimp house, sorry Chad and JB :).
In the wild, males are usually the most dominate, however in captivity you can find females leading a group or allowing a male to think he the one in control, when really the female(s) are really calling the shots ;). Let’s meet the real individuals that run the show in this chimp house!
Obviously, Jamie rules this Sanctuary:
Negra, our true queen:
Jody, our forager:
The adventurer Missy:
Foxie, the prankster:
The ever so kind Annie:
Mora, besties for life:
Miss popular Mave:
The friend to everyone, Dora (but mostly Mave):
Rayne, the calming presence:
Lucky, the sweetest of sweet:
Honey B, the master of mischief:
The care staff ladies aren’t so bad either!
