Buttercup

Buttercup July 2021
In the heart of the Cedar Tree Villa, a pair of identical twins captures the attention and curiosity of all who encounter them. Buttercup, one-half of this dynamic duo, distinguishes herself with a unique freckle on her right cheek. Alongside her sister Charisse, Buttercup showcases not only her individuality but also her playful and independent nature. Join us as we explore the world of Buttercup and discover what makes her such a captivating and spirited chimp. Buttercup’s “beauty mark” on her right cheek allows caregivers and sponsors to easily differentiate between the two sisters. It becomes a small but significant detail that adds to the charm and individuality of Buttercup. While the twins have grown more independent, they still share a strong bond and prefer to remain within close ear-shot to one another. This connection serves as a source of comfort and support as they navigate their surroundings. Vocalizing at each other brings a sense of security and familiarity, allowing them to explore their individuality while knowing they have a constant companion by their side.
