Activities:

I am only three years old and have only recently arrived at MONA after being rescued from the same travelling circus as Waty.

Interests:

I love playing with and tormenting my adoptive mother Romie and my big sister Waty.

About Me:

In the circus I was kept in a small dog kennel, barely bigger than my body, alone and in the dark. When I first arrived at the sanctuary, I exhibited the typical stereotypical behaviour of any traumatised baby chimpanzee, taken away from their mother too early. Wild chimpanzees normally stay close to their mothers until they are at least five years old. My new mum Romie now loves and cares for me and I am behaving like any other boisterous baby chimpanzee.
