We couldn't do this without your support. Thank you for helping us give these chimps the best life possible!

We are grateful for our care staff every day, but especially when they have to cope with a hot spell that’s brought triple-digit temps for days as well as keeping an eye on what’s happening with Hurricane Beryl!

Here are some of the fun, creative ways they’re keeping animals cool: hanging sprinklers on the outside of chimp habitats to give them the option of playing in the water when they want; splash pads hooked up to hoses for lemurs, vervets and small birds; icy pops and treats all around, and pool parties!😎⛱
