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!

Chimp Chatter About This Group:
-
There is normally not a lot of space in this area of the ear so when it fills, it can be very tight and cause an uncomfortable amount of pressure. If due to trauma, there could be bacteria trapped inside and potentially lead to an abscess. As the body tries to fix itself, it sends a lot of its helper white blood cells and tries to remove the blood and repair the aural hematoma.
-
Chimpanzees eat their food in multiple ways. Each method is unique to that chimp. This helps humans learn more about the chimpanzee as an individual.
