"Many of the Alamogordo chimps [are] in their 50s and 60s, with the same kinds of medical conditions seen in aging humans." Thank you to everyone who worked to see these chimpanzees, once used for research, spend their remaining years in kind, safe sanctuary. #chimpanzees #primates #animalrescue 🧪

Aging former research chimps move to Chimp Haven

All of the former research chimpanzees that had been living on an Air Force base in New Mexico have finally arrived at a sanctuary in Louisiana. Many of these chimps are in their 50s and 60s.
