Jabari

Jabari has always been a wild card in his villa and sure knows how to stir things up! From his high-pitched pant hoots to his food squeaks, his excitement is contagious. No matter the time of day or the meal being served, Jabari’s enthusiasm never fails to shine through.

Jabari is very interested in colorful enrichment and will carry it around with him. He’s especially fond of key and ring toys, even carrying around the top of the toy rose in his mouth until asked to remove it by caregivers before they can give him his morning juice! He’s easiest to identify thanks to his distinctive large noggin, earning him the affectionate nickname “football head.”

His journey took a significant turn when he realized something that everyone else already knew: he’s big! In the past, he hesitated to come forward for food, even when lower-ranking females were present. But with newfound self-assurance, Jabari has become a bigger player in his villa’s social scene.

One of the most remarkable changes in Jabari’s behavior is his dedication to his groupmates, especially his female friend Jennifer. He is often the first to defend or offer comfort to any upset females. This change in him has gained the respect of his friends and might even set him on track to be the future “enforcer” of their crew.
