Amy

Amy2 July 2021

As the smallest chimp in Harmony villa, Amy is usually easy to spot. She’s full of energy and loves to play, both with her caregivers and her best friends Sarah and Loretta. Whenever they get new stuffed animal “babies”, you can usually bet that one of them will have it in their possession, and they typically rotate between the three of them on whose turn it is to play with the doll next. Often, she will run up to a caregiver with a very enthusiastic play stomp then go flying across the room expecting a game of chase. 

Amy can also be a bit on the dramatic side, taking on some of the older and more dominant chimps in her group. She is definitely an instigator and likes to stir up trouble when things seem too calm and quiet. For being one of the smallest chimps in her group, it can be quite a sight to see her trying to rile up the biggest male, Kareem. One of her cutest quirks includes her eating habits: she’s a proper lady, taking the daintiest bites and always being the last to finish her food.
