Miguel Chimpanzee
He is very similar to his brother Marcelino, both physically and in personality.
Date of birth: 10/09/2010
Origin: Great Apes Sanctuary of Sorocaba, SP, Brazil.
Sanctuary: Sorocaba, São Paulo/Brazil

Second son of Táta and Peter, brother of Marcelino and Milan. He is very similar to his brother Marcelino, both physically and in personality. He is a bit more introspective than Marcelino, but very docile and sociable with people and chimpanzees he trusts.

After entering puberty, Miguel needed to change groups, as he was confronting his father. Cecilia, who was also changing groups, was the perfect company for him at that time. Miguel also spends part of his time with Cecília (Argentina), with whom he interacts very well.
