Jacob

Jacob is regarded by his caregivers as one of the most intelligent chimps — not only for his social group, but across the whole sanctuary. How do his caregivers know he’s one smart cookie? He excels at removing obstructions from the chimp shift doors when caregivers shine a laser pointer on the object blocking the track.

He also solves puzzle enrichments with focus and expertise, and he tries his best to befriend all the chimps, especially the highest-ranking males by grooming them frequently
