Romie


History: Born in Equatorial Guinea in approximately 1979 and she arrived at Mona in 2001). She was previously trained for the entertainment industry (circus, photographers, television etc ....). However her main role was to have babies who were quickly taken from her to start their humanisation process before being trained. She lived in the dark inside a small cage in the same truck as Marco, Toni and Charly.

Personality: Grateful for small things, such as on a sunny day, eating fresh lettuce and have a bottle of juice or water.Very tolerant with new group members (especially those who had never been before with other chimpanzees).She usually collaborates with her carers. She has some joint and bone problems because of their age, her previous poor diet and confinement. Although she is Nico and Sara's mother she does not recognize them as her children because they were taken from her at such a young age .  She does have a very good relationship with them now.

Likes: She loves cooked rice balls and cheese. She enjoys gathering straw to make it big nests at night.
