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.
Can we communicate with gorillas?
Wellness begins with a deep understanding of the preferences and needs of each species in the zoo. Optimal wellness is obtained when each animal thrives. The more the animal’s behavior resembles free-living wild animals, the more likely that wellness has been achieved.
