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:
-
Playing with chimpanzees can often prove to be dangerous. Both humans and chimpanzees are at risk of harming each other, even if they don’t always mean to. Despite this, Haylee has found a safe way to have fun with caregivers. Her secret? A winning personality and some creative tool use.
-
“Cool guy” Taz is one of the higher-ranking males in his group, and it isn’t hard to see why! We’re thrilled to celebrate his 29th birthday by sharing a little about what makes him so unique.
