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:
-
In the chimp world, females control a lot. Even though chimps live in a patriarchal hierarchy, the girls have a lot of influence. This understanding allows us to perceive chimp life and how it works.
-
Chimps, like humans, enjoy a good movie. Their abilities to comprehend films helps us understand chimpanzees and how they think.
