Who's Who in Chateau Group 1?
About This Group
The Laurie and Carlee McGrath Chateau is the largest building at the sanctuary and houses two distinct groups! Chateau Group 1 is known for being one of the more rambunctious groups at the sanctuary due to a higher number of young male chimpanzees. However, in recent years the group has begun to calm down as these chimps continue to mature and settle into their roles. It has the reputation of being a little chaotic and challenging, but also a lot of fun!

Chimp Chatter About This Group:
-
When you spend your life in one place, a new environment isn’t just intimidating. It’s terrifying. Even if it’s the one you were born to be in. This is what many former research chimpanzees experience who never got to go outside. So when the opportunity is placed right in front of them, wouldn’t they be excited? For some, yes. For others, it can take a little while to warm up to the idea. That’s what we saw leading up to Kennedy’s first time outside.
