She arrived at the sanctuary in 2007, very weak but pregnant, and managed to give birth to a healthy baby, chimpanzee Marcelino. She lived in a Zoo in Fortaleza, Ceará, northeast of Brazil where she suffered greatly along with the chimpanzees Peter and Judy, as the zoo was closed and left in a precarious situation, causing them to suffer from lack of food and water. Additionally, they lived in an enclosure with little shade, forcing them to stay in the heat and to be thirsty.

She lived happily and peacefully with her family at the Sanctuary for 14 years. She was a great mother, very dedicated, calm, and peaceful. She loved to drink water from a small bottle.

She passed away in 2021.
