Who's Who in Chimps Ahoy Villa?
About This Group
Chimps Ahoy Villa houses one of the largest groups at the sanctuary, particularly after the introduction of six new male chimpanzees from the lab in 2025. The group is led by alpha Kirk, who also happens to be one of the oldest chimpanzees at the sanctuary. You may spot this group in the North Yard of Peachtree Habitat!

Her unwavering presence and innate ability to defuse conflicts makes her a formidable force within her group. Her interventions ensure that harmony is restored and the well-being of all members is protected.
