A female chimpanzee has arrived to Jungle Park to be a partner to the male who has been with us since  the beginning of 2003.

The new female comes from the Barcelona Zoo and she is 21 years old (she was born in May 1987). Our male is 15 years old (born in August 1993) and came from a German zoo with another female chimpanzee who unfortunately died last summer. The team of Jungle Park, in order to improve the animal's well-being, decided it was important for him to have a partner since chimpanzees are social animals and need to have a partner or belong to a group.

With this new arrival, the risk of isolation is very low now. The couple is now sharing an area of the park and so far their relationship is very good. Come visit them soon to Jungle Park.
