History: Born in captivity in 1998 and she arrives at Mona in 2004. She was previously owneded by the same animal trainer as Marco, Charly, Toni, Nico and Romi. She was trained from a baby to appear in  many TV shows and adverts.

Personality: Quiet and calm, she has a sweet and gentle nature. Although when she has a precious object) she can be very stubborn and she will not share it at all.  When she arrived she had a fractured rib, has shown some abnormal growth and irregular lower teeth. She also has a strong stereotypic behaviour brought on by stress where she rocks constantly with a repetitive sound while holding the wall. It also has a visual impairment that makes it difficult for her see distant objects. She has many lonely moments ...
