Kennedy

Kennedy July 2021
As Kennedy is in his teenage years, he has seamlessly transitioned into a role of leadership within his group, A Side of the Laurie & Carlee McGrath Chateau. Kennedy is admired and respected by his peers.
 
Kennedy may appear tough on the outside, but those who know him well understand the soft and sweet nature that lies within. Like a chocolate Easter egg, he carries around plushy animals, cradling them on his hip as if they were his precious companions. This endearing trait showcases Kennedy’s nurturing side and highlights his ability to form deep emotional connections.
 
Just like humans, chimpanzees have their own unique preferences. Kennedy, for instance, has a disdain for green vegetables, often opting to relax in his favorite hammock or platform instead. However, after some time, his appetite for food kicks in, reminding him of his culinary delights. Additionally, Kennedy has a special affection for stuffed plushies, particularly chimp plush toys. These cuddly companions accompany him during naps and even mimic the behavior of real chimpanzees.
