- Ellie is one of the most beautiful chimpanzees at the sanctuary. She is clever and smart and great at tool use but she is also an instigator. Ellie likes to stir things up just for fun.
- Ellie currently lives with a group of young chimpanzees Bella, Stryker and Jacob. This group of friends are in the process of creating a larger group with Bently and Kenzy.
- She is an expert sand-thrower, a dead-on spitter, and is very capable of using sticks and other tools to draw attention to herself. She loves puzzles, games, and searching for hidden treats. She’s very determined and won’t stop until she has the puzzle solved.
ADOPT AN APE
It costs $22,000 a year to care for one of our apes. By symbolically adopting the ape of your choice for a one-time donation of $300 OR just $25 a month for one year, you are helping ensure the health, safety, and well-being of your orangutan or chimpanzee.
Can't Adopt?
In addition to cash donations, the Center for Great Apes is always in need of food, enrichment items, and supplies. We welcome gifts of all kinds.
