Babs

With her towering presence and strong-willed nature, Babs has managed to secure the top spot among her female peers. She skillfully appeases the males while maintaining order among the younger females. With her trusted friends Sky and LB by her side, Babs patrols the habitat, ensuring that peace and harmony reign supreme. Sky, LB and Babs are tight. You’ll often catch them chillin’ together or maybe even helping each other out with a quick grooming session.

One cannot discuss Babs without mentioning her love for food. While she has been known to indulge in stealing morsels from her groupmates, caregivers have been diligently working to curb this behavior. Although Babs is known for her playful naughtiness, she’s been getting better at keeping her hands off other people’s stuff. However, she still can’t resist attempting to snag someone’s last bite, with one exception: Amy, the smallest member of the group. In her dual role as leader and caregiver, Babs has a unique connection with Collin. He’s the youngest chimp in their circle but this bond makes her even more pivotal within their group dynamic.
