Jermaine

Jermaine July 2021

Jermaine can be a bit particular about the way he likes things done. For example, he will NOT take corn unless it is shucked first. If you offer him corn that still has the husk, he will throw it on the ground then hold out his hand for one that meets his standards. He also has his “frequented spots” around the enclosures that he can always be found in, kind of like a grandpa who has “his chair” that no one else sits in. But Jermaine can also be very sweet and patient. He will let all the little girls get their food before him while he patiently waits his turn, and often the girls can entice him into a gentle play session. Jermaine is Kareem’s right-hand man, often helping to intervene in conflicts and keep the peace. Occasionally the two will butt heads, but they always make up with a big ol’ hug at the end.

This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. We rely on donations to fulfill our mission, including caring for our existing residents and expanding the sanctuary to accommodate those chimpanzees still waiting in the lab.
