Patrick2 July 2021

Patrick’s white beard and droopy lower lip serve as his unique identifiers. Caregivers describe him as a confident and cunning leader with a fair and balanced approach to his role. His rise to the top of the male and female chimp hierarchy is a testament to his intelligence and persistence. As the alpha male, Patrick takes it upon himself to ensure that everyone in the group receives their fair share of food, challenging his caregivers to outsmart him in their efforts to maintain balance and harmony.
