Nico



History: Born in captivity in 2000 and he arrived at Mona in 2004. He was previously raised like a human child so that could be easily trained for the entertainment industry just like Marco , Charly, Toni, Romie and Sara. Had lived in a small cage in a house before his rescue.
Personality: He is very sociable, outgoing and courageous. He is tirelessly playful with Juanito and insensitive to pain (partly due to the illness suffered). He suffers from Chiari malformation a degenerative disease. We have had to amputate four fingers of his left hand, the result of a chronic infection caused by frequent episodes of self - mutilation.

Likes: He loves cooked rice balls, cheese andyogurt.
