Loretta

Loretta is easily identifiable by her striking face and big, distinctive ears. She is very friendly and playful; she always runs up to the mesh to greet care staff in the mornings. She’s low ranking among her social group, but is always very patient in waiting her turn to get her food at meals and (mostly) stays out of the way of the older, more dominant chimps. She’s also a really loyal friend. Her best friends are Amy and Sarah, and the three of them take turns playing with their “babies” (stuffed animal toys). 

Loretta loves to play air hockey with toys under the doors and spending time in the habitat running around or sunbathing with her friends. She also loves onions so much that her caregivers say she’s starting to smell like one!
