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:
-
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.
-
Just like humans decorating a bedroom, chimps create their own spaces too. Each chimp has a specific preference when creating their nests. Knowing this helps us understand unique qualities among chimps and their habits.
