Collin

Collin July 2021

Collin is a very lively chimp that loves to make raspberry sounds. He’s the youngest male chimpanzee in his group and likes to test how far he can push his groupmates’ boundaries to cause chaos. He’s also a huge foodie! 

During forage, which is how the chimpanzees are served lunch, he goes around and collects as much of his favorite food items as he can. There’s no limit to how much food he can fit in his mouth! He likes to sit on his huge purple ball and wait patiently for his caregivers to serve him breakfast and dinner.
