Quintin

Quintin July 2021

Quintin lives with his groupmates in Dorothy Jo & Tilly villa, where he continues to have new adventures every day! He has been growing into his own as an adult male chimp and supporting his best friend Arthur during hierarchical disputes.

The other chimps must appreciate this new development, because Marlon has started going to Quintin for support as well. Despite his busy social calendar, Quintin always makes time to sit with the older females and play with the younger ones.

He loves spending time in the forested habitat and strengthening his bonds with his fellow groupmates. When he’s not engaged in a rowdy play session or game of chase, he loves interacting with bubbles and other forms of enrichment. Everyone feels safe taking their food in front of Quintin because they know that the only food he ever tries to steal is his favorite—corn!

December 27, 2016

Dear Friend, Providing sanctuary for chimpanzees is so humbling.   I like to look for signs that a resident feels home.  Sometimes, you can tell they feel at home when they are comfortable enough to tell you what they really think of that raw eggplant (by banging at us) or when you see them doing…
