Close Shave - Jambo’s Tumble and Recovery

Jambo the hairless Chimp from Twycross Zoo moves from the hammock to go to the new enrichment. A log with some holes, probably filled with sticky oats or similar. He sticks his finger in to get some out. When he had enough he moved on, balancing on the strap. He climbs down, past his mum Coco (65). He soon climbs back up, walking on the log behind the netting and past Samantha. He sits down for a second before he’s on the move again. That’s when he suddenly slips from the strap but manages to catch himself. I’m wondering if it was that they all were feeling a bit under the weather as lots of them including Jambo had a runny nose. Jambo carries on by sliding along the strap. Samatha in the background is not worried at all. She didn’t even look up from eating. Jambo goes back inside, tending to his runny nose. #HairlessChimpanzee #HairlessChimp Hairless Chimp Jambo, the alpha male was born at Twycross Zoo in England.
