Tiffany

Tiffany July 2021

Tiffany’s caregivers would say she’s gregarious, sassy, and very smart and observant. Her close relationships with some of the male chimps, such as Arthur, gives her certain advantages within the group. Caregivers learned not to serve some of the males their chow if Tiffany is behind them, because sometimes, she pulls the bag right out of their hands (and they let her)! If they ignore her and hold onto their food, she might start slowly whining, which later turns into a full-blast shriek. 

Tiffany is something of a drama queen and isn’t afraid to cause a little chaos. One day, it was seemingly quiet, but Tiffany took a leftover plastic bottle from enrichment and used it on the ground to be noisy and get the boys riled up. She’s also been known to tease care staff by coming over when they ask her to just before running away mischievously. 

However, Tiffany can also be a good friend, especially to Torian. The two can regularly be seen scooting together. She really enjoys blankets and stuffed animals. She’ll find a pile of blankets, boxes, and some woodwool and start building her nest.
