Q: How do chimps stay clean? A: Chimps stay clean by grooming themselves and each other! A common misconception is that chimpanzees pick bugs off each other while grooming, but they are usually removing dead skin and making sure any cuts and scrapes are clean. They have the remarkable ability to detect even the smallest wound on a fellow chimpanzee and they love to tend to each other! Grooming is also a social behavior and has many benefits, including social bonding, stress reduction, and confli

The caregivers provide the chimps enrichment often. Even though the chimps have ample natural space to enjoy, enrichment is important as it provides positive stimulation necessary for an animal’s mental and physical health. You can see the chimps are engaged in their Enrichment on this particular day which happens to be dried shell peanuts. 🥜😊 | Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge Liberia / Save the Abandoned Chimps

Our colleague, Joseph Thomas, was a fiercely dedicated chimpanzee caregiver who cared for the chimps from 1979 until his passing earlier this year. 💔 We lost an advocate, a leader and a friend that day – and so did the chimps. We are committed to carrying on Joseph’s incredible legacy. We hope you are as inspired by his story as we are. | Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge Liberia / Save the Abandoned Chimps

The chimps were all feeling good and excited when the caregivers arrived with their meal. Poor Boy and Marshal were feeling extra playful having a good-natured play session right before feeding. It is always good to see the chimps enjoying their life after many suffered for years in the research lab. 🩷 | Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge Liberia / Save the Abandoned Chimps

We recently shared a video showing one way the chimps enjoy cooling down during the warmer weather. Spright was not feeling the need to cool down the other morning. He was actually feeling a bit chilly while waiting on their meal. Typically, chimps will hide in the undergrowth in nests they have created to keep warm when they are feeling cold. Rest assured that Spright did warm up after eating his nutritious diet. 😉 | Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge Liberia / Save the Abandoned Chimps

While their dense muscular bodies make chimpanzees terrible swimmers, they do enjoy water in other ways. We often see many of our chimps, like Kowura, soaking in the shallows of the river cooling off. Though it seems Kowura did not like having an audience and prefers to do so in privacy. 😆 | Second Chance Chimpanzee Refuge Liberia / Save the Abandoned Chimps

Chimpanzees have a complex family dynamic. Like our own human families, there are often conflicts and disagreements. As you can see, most disagreements can be resolved without turning physical.

Sixty-five chimpanzees live on uninhabited river islands south of Liberia's capital Monrovia. They are the survivors of a group of 400 test subjects of a US-funded research project. Some of the animals underwent several hundred biopsies. Years on, the former lab chimps now enjoy veterinary care and two daily meals. | AFP News Agency
