Getting To Know Them Better

Kenzy, Hannah, and Bentley started their lives working for a chimp trainer living in Missouri and Nevada. For most of their infancy, they were moved around in small, single crate cages inside a van while the trainer tried to get work using the chimpanzees in Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Las Vegas.

Often, chimpanzees with these early life experiences have many difficulties to overcome. We know that with patience and compassionate care, these chimpanzees will become more confident and normal in their interactions with others of their own species.

Bentley is a handsome and playful chimpanzee who loves to hang out with his best friend Kenzy. He is also meeting new friends – Stryker, Jacob, Ellie, and his favorite
new playmate, Bella.

Bentley’s favorite food is his primate chow biscuits— he absolutely loves them!  He also likes his greens, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes, but he hates broccoli.

Presently, Bentley is the youngest male chimpanzee at the sanctuary…
