Celebrating TIFFANY’s 17th birthday!
It’s November 25th, which means it’s another double birthday at Project Chimps! Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Dorothy Jo and Tilly villa as we celebrate Tiffany’s 17th birthday!
Tiffany arrived at Project Chimps when she was 10 years old, making this her 7th birthday at the sanctuary. She’s a very social and outgoing chimp who loves hanging out with her fellow group mates.
Tiffany is best friends with Torian, another teenaged female chimp in her group. In the past, Torian would sometimes take Tiffany’s food when Tiffany wasn’t eating it fast enough. When this would happen, Tiffany often took it as her cue to find Sophia and “share” food with her! However, according to their caregivers, this cycle has become much less common!
Tiffany has spent the last year developing her group relationships and controlling her urge to “share” food with other chimps. She’s become especially close to Arthur, a young male chimp who’s been moving up in the villa’s social ranks. She spends a lot of time grooming him and fostering their relationship. While she’s still besties with Torian, the waters have grown rocky with Krystal as they’re both vying for Arthur’s attention.
Tiffany is an avid outdoors enthusiast and loves the habitat. Her caregivers can often spot her outside enjoying the sun with Torian. She really enjoys blankets, peanuts, and juice, but lately isn’t too interested in playing with or chewing on toys. She’s also become more interested in behavioral training this year. When Kris Pritchard, our Behavior Coordinator, stops by the villa, Tiffany runs up right away to check things out!
Today on November 25th, we hope you’ll help us celebrate Tiffany’s special day! If you’d like to send her a birthday gift, please consider some blankets or a snack from our Amazon Wishlist!
Tiffany, we’re so glad to be able to celebrate your 17th birthday with you here at Project Chimps! Here’s hoping you enjoy your celebration filled with fun, laughter, and all your favorite treats!
