CHI CHI
 |
Chi Chi is one of the most cherished monkeys here at Jungle Friends. She is probably the oldest monkey we have here at Jungle Friends. We estimate her to be in her late 30s. Despite her old age, Chi Chi is a spunky girl! Her history is vague. As the story goes, she was in a circus or carnival for many years until she started biting people.

She is very dependent on human attention, and very set in her ways. She was extremely happy when she was finally socialized with an old male of her own species named Pablo; however, he died of old age in the winter of 1998. Since then, we have tried socializing her with other monkeys here at Jungle Friends, but none of them have been successful. Until a successful socialization can be made, we human primates give her a lot of attention. Chi Chi will serenade you with her songs of love, she will dance and twirl and practically stand on her head, Chi Chi fully expects anyone in view to join in the dance! She will groom volunteers for hours at a time, making sure she picks off every scab and freckle! She just loves the attention! We recently introduced her to the world of TV. And now she will sit and watch her cartoons from time to time through out the day. She is also very nifty with her tail and uses it to pull things inside her cage. She even had a very impressive rock collection going at one point!
