Support Spanish Primate Sanctuary

We are very pleased to report that Hugo has settled in very well since his arrival at the sanctuary in June of last year. Hugo is very gentle; in fact, his caregivers say that he seems more like a gorilla than a chimp. He is always very calm and sweet. Hugo is a peace-loving individual who does not like disputes with other chimps and he will always allow others to win a disagreement. Hugo was the first chimp at the sanctuary to accept Suzie another recent arrival, who can be very stubborn and socially difficult. Hugo is very social and enjoys grooming new arrivals at the sanctuary but he is also respectful if they are not ready to groom him back. He has adapted very well to his new environment and diverse new diet at the sanctuary. He eats all kinds of food but he loves leeks. Hugo especially enjoys sleeping in a nest made with lots of straw on the floor in the same spot every night. We are enjoying getting to know Hugo, the gentle giant.

Other great news is that Caline, Hugo's previous female companion and Hugo's daughter will be joining him at the sanctuary this month. The team at the sanctuary are very busy preparing everything for their arrival. We can't wait to see his reaction when they arrive. We will keep you updated.

Hugo and his family's rescue would not have been possible without your support. Thank you for your generosity, which allows us to care for our ever-growing chimpanzee family.
