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:
-
Wow! That was amazing to watch them out in the yard today. This group is such a quiet, calm bunch of apes. No one was quite sure who should be in charge of the patrol this morning so there was a bit of a pile up in the tunnel at first, but then Maverick, Justin and Rocko maneuvered around everyone to take the lead and Roxy, Arielle, Tabby, and Moonie joined them. But Lindsey pushed ahead and was at the helm as this group of eight took a stroll to visit the residents in the DJ&T Villa who were watching with amusement from the safety of their outdoor porch.

The group is ready to go outside for the first time together! I wonder if Rosemary will finally be brave enough to go into the habitat with the support of the boys?
