Kyrstin

Kyrstin July 2021

Kyrstin is quite the little firecracker! She is a full sister to Leo and while she is the spitting image of him, the two also share quite a few personality traits. She is very playful — both with her chimp companions and her human caregivers — and she tends to get very excited during particularly intense play sessions. She is also a very loyal friend, often defending and offering reassurance to everyone after a conflict within their group. Kyrstin still hangs out with her best friend Roxy, but she has also made new friends over time. Moonie, Kirk, and the young females (Arielle, Mandy, and Roxy) all enjoy spending time with Kyrstin and playing with her. Kyrstin loves exploring the habitat and collecting small sticks throughout the day. She has been more active in body presentation training and has a favorite reward of dates and figs.
