Happy World Chimpanzee Day 2021 From The L.A. Zoo
We’re celebrating #WorldChimpanzeeDay (July 14) with a look back at the past year with our troop, one of the largest multi-generational troops living as one group in the U.S. We’re also giving a “pant-hoot” to the @Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ Chimpanzee SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction) program, a collaborative effort to raise awareness of these critically endangered apes while supporting efforts to save them in the wild. The L.A. Zoo is a proud partner.
