Darwin

Darwin, a 26 year old male is without question one of my favourite male chimps - he's up there in the leading group of males but he was a small adolescent and as such was dominated by the others. Part of the reason I like him is of course who he was named after but he also has relaxed charming nature who appears to enjoy life. He was the last chimp to provide support for the previous alpha male - who was an evil and nasty tyrant they had to get rid off.
