Haylee is the perfect combination of chaos and sweetness. She is always excited to engage with her caregivers as well as the other chimps in her group. Some of her favorite things to do are startle people, wrestle with the other chimps, and drag her bright pink silky blanket around.
She is the youngest and smallest chimp in her group, but she does not let that stop her. It is not uncommon to see Haylee throw her weight around to manipulate her group members (especially Arthur) in order to get her way. Even on days where she is trying to intimidate everyone, she can be found afterwards grooming and making up with the other chimps.
Something that we have noticed from day one is Haylee’s bond with Tristen. The two are very good (best?) friends and tend to stick together. They will often share meals and enrichment, which is a sign of just how strong of a friendship they have.
