    Kirk and all the former research chimps in sanctuary got some yummy soup, made by Caregiver Joseph! We also serve them our award-winning, plant-based Chimp Chili made with ingredients chimps can eat. Want the recipe?

    Leo gathered all the blankets around him for a late morning nap.💚It's hard to get Leo to move to another space so caregivers can clean his favorite room. All the other chimps followed the food but was perfectly happy to nap as his caregivers cleaned elsewhere first!

    Former research chimps Jermaine and Taz don’t know it’s but they’ve still scored - in a big way! Their donated Hol-ee Footballs are now stuffed with nuts thanks to everyone who helped us restock the pantry. You even sent big tools! TY!

    When twins Buttercup and Charisse first arrived from the lab, they clinged to one another and rocked back and forth in fear. After living in sanctuary, they are becoming bolder and more independent. Help them continue to grow by sponsoring them today at

    3/3 Jason then chased out of the room as Buttercup hid behind him. Low-ranking chimps like the twins often seek the protection and support of higher ranking chimps. You can support the twins too by being a Valentine's sponsor! Photos: Crystal Alba

    O.M.G. this story! One of our supporters, Jean of Little Rock, AK, just DROVE 205 bags of whole nuts to the chimps! Our amazing volunteers Dave & Jane agreed to meet her halfway, in Mississippi, so it would only be a 550 mile RT for each of them. We are blown away and grateful!💚

    2/3 Latricia and Samira have shared their leadership roles since their group of nine female chimps was the first to make it to Project Chimps in Sept. 2016. Together, they ruled their group of females until they were integrated with Bo's group of six males. Now it's complicated.

    1/3 Latricia and Samira are both high-ranking female chimps. They're a duo because they get along well but have uniquely different leadership styles. According to Caregiver Alan, Latricia is the calm and gentle leader while Samira is the more forceful one.

    Tender moment: Leo sucking his thumb while relaxing in the sun. Photographer & sanctuary volunteer Joan Miller captured this moment and we're grateful. As with humans, thumb sucking is a self-soothing behavior - one that brought with him from the lab.
