Roxy

Roxy July 2021

Roxy used to be one of the more reserved chimps in her group of 10 females. But when the group was introduced to the group of nine males that they now live with, Roxy began to make her move. Previously choosing to mainly play and hang around best friend Kyrstin, Roxy now has cozied up to males such as Maverick and Kirk. She has been bolder with her actions, which can occasionally lead to poor decisions, including throwing a rubber toy at Lindsey, the most dominant female in the group. But sometimes her boldness pays off, allowing Roxy to realize that she can steal food from Armond, the enforcer and largest chimp in her group. She also still gets away with stealing food from Kyrstin, who never seems to mind. The two often can be found sitting together and even sucking each others’ thumbs. Roxy loves playing chase with her friends and swinging from all the firehouse hanging in her enclosures. She usually stays out exploring the habitat for longer than most of the other girls in her group, too.
