Carol

Female. DOB: 09/23/99. She arrived at the sanctuary in 2004 along with her brother, Lucas. Later, they were integrated with two other chimpanzees – Johny and Matheus – forming a new group. Carol did not find her new home strange at all, and from the moment she arrived she adapted very well, always interacting with her fellows. Currently, Carol lives with Caíque, Leila and Tota. The four spend most of the day grooming each other. At bedtime, Carol chooses Caíque to share the room. During all these years she has shown a strong personality and plenty of intelligence. She climbs the palm trees and picks jerivá coconuts, then shares them with her friends. When she doesn’t like some fruit she gets on a tray, she doesn’t think twice about giving it to Tota.
