Baby Maisie Plays With Chimps Lola & Violet
MAISIE UPDATE: Baby chimp Maisie is currently spending her time in a social grouping that includes adult females Bunny & Raven, and their daughters Lola & Violet. This week, the group spent some time in the indoor chimp habitat together – it was Maisie’s first time exploring that space! She confidently crawled around, and youngsters Lola and Violet showed her a thing or two about how chimps play. Chimpanzee troop dynamics are complex and take time to develop. The Chimp Team continues to take Maisie’s integration day by day and monitor the chimps’ behavior to guide the process.
Maisie Message: Chimpanzees do not make good pets
MAISIE MESSAGE: While we love sharing the fun and amazing milestones baby chimp Maisie has been achieving, it’s important to remember that Maisie is being cared for by trained professionals and chimpanzees are wild animals that do not make good pets.
