Who's Who in Dorothy Jo & Tilly Villa?
About This Group
Dorothy Jo and Tilly Villa (DJT) was made possible by the DJ&T Foundation and named for Bob Barker’s wife and mother, both of whom loved all animals. The group is led by alpha Patrick, who looks out for his groupmates while taking a laid-back approach to leadership. You may spot this group in the North Yard of Peachtree Habitat!

Chimp Chatter About This Group:
-
We have “chimp chimps” and “human oriented chimps”. Chimp chimps prefer interacting with their fellow troop members over interacting with human caregivers. Human oriented chimps like to focus their time and energy on human caregivers.
-
At Project Chimps its not uncommon to see a tattoo here and there. Like many people some of the staff are tattooed. Did you know some chimps have tattoos as well? Why would a chimp have a tattoo? Chimp tattoos seem very odd. This blog will explain. We’ll also look at some of the interesting tattoos our staff have that celebrate their connection to chimps.
