Luke 🐵, 33, is one of the oldest chimps at our sanctuary. He's also one of the most extroverted chimps when it comes to people, and he's always curious about someone new walking around the habitat. He recently showed his excitement by giving a tour group a fun encounter to remember! #LukeChimp | Project Chimps

The chimpanzees recently received a stuffed chimpanzee toy from a generous donor. Jennifer, the youngest chimp at the sanctuary, seemed to like the toy and took to carrying it around on her back, similar to the method female chimps use to carry their young in the wild. | Project Chimps
