Jambo has more siblings at Twycross from his father's side who are William born on the 30th June 1982, Holly she was born on the 27th December 1982 and Jomar he was born on the 28th December 1990.EgyptSearch Forums: Is this hairless chimpanzee black or white? It is a big group and some chimps are still in the second group which I'm not that familiar with. She was born on the and there is a male called Kip that is supposed to be there too, but records are pretty outdated and to be honest I'm not familiar with this name and don't think he's still at Twycross.
Cocos offspring's are Jambo and his half-sister Charlotte. His daughter ( the brown chimp with a bald back) is Genet. Charlotte his half sister coming to check on him and licking his wounds, but Jambo moves away. With the cold winter air, his breathing looks like he's having a smoke and a quite moment for himself. Jambo licking his wounds and making his way to the outside. You'll also see Jambo's Daughter Genet ( brown chimp towards the camera) try to get the others off Jambo as well.Īs quickly as it started it stopped again and everybody dispersed. You can also see Rosie (the chimp with the pink face) cutting in, to defend Jambo. The chimp on the left is taking a bite out of Jambo and pulls his leg, you can just see this to the left. Some of the troop jump on top of Jambo, biting him and others like the females trying to protect him. Jambo got in a fight with a male, when all the rest of the troop joined in and a massive fight started. I'm sure you're aware of lots of wildlife programs that show this behaviour all the time in different types of animals. Wild chimpanzees just like other animals fight to stay on top and even kill. The bite he received this time looks quite bad and deep, but unfortunately this is a common thing among chimps and not just captive chimpanzees.
I'm sure they do give him something for the pain. Which it does quite quickly in Chimpanzees.
Twycross did try to save the ear, as it was only party ripped at first, by stitching it back on and even using skin glue, but Jambo kept opening it up again, so they just had to let it heal naturally. Maybe just an accident in all the confusion of a fight. The actual keepers of the chimps said that it was his mum that did it. I always thought he lost his ear, fighting with his challenger Kibali, as this is what the educational talks were saying, but it turns out this wasn't true. The biggest one loosing an ear in a battle. This isn't Jambo's first injury, he has enough battle scars to to show. So please be aware that the video shows the injuries. The chimp from the Twycross Zoo ended up in a huge brawl again, resulting in some more injuries including big cuts. Jambo the hairless chimpanzee hasn't got it easy.
