Wild animals such as chimpanzees and other monkeys find it very difficult to adapt to our world. They are used to living in nature and they hate being placed in human controlled environments. This is what happened to Jenny, the 10-month old chimpanzee that we are going to tell you about today. However, Jenny’s story is a little bit more heartbreaking than this.

One of the main reasons why Jenny isn’t allowed to play with the other chimpanzees is because of the elders. The elders have a reputation for being mean to newcomers and the rescue center staff wanted to make sure that Jenny is welcomed to the group.

The most important thing that Jenny will get to do at the ape rescue center is to learn the ways of the monkey from other chimpanzees. They are going to teach her how to act and how to defend herself, something that the caretakers can’t do on their own.
