Loretta

Loretta July 2021

Loretta is easily identifiable by her striking face and big, distinctive ears. She is very friendly and playful; she always runs up to the mesh to greet carestaff in the morning. She’s low ranking among her social group, but is always very patient in waiting her turn to get her food at meals and (mostly) stays out of the way of the older, more dominant chimps. She’s also a really loyal friend. Her best friends are Amy and Sarah, and the three of them take turns playing with their “babies” (stuffed animal toys).

This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. We rely on donations to fulfill our mission, including caring for our existing residents and expanding the sanctuary to accommodate those chimpanzees still waiting in the lab.
