Here is the first picture of Lottie’s baby (sent by Matt our manager) born in the forest few weeks ago. Lottie was released in June 2008 and she is with 4 other released chimps at the moment.
She is a great mother as she already raised one son, Andrew, born the 14th of August 2000 at the sanctuary, and released with her in June 2008. Andrew left his mother’s group in November 2008 but he had been seen several times since then.
We are confident that Lottie will be able to take really good care of her baby (we still do not know if it’s a boy or a girl) as she was a wonderfull mother for Andrew.
Many thanks for all your messages of support for Fatim’s death. It means a lot to us.
Take care
Chris

Gorgeous!
Lottie is doing great things for her species, little does she know! I hope this little one grows up big and strong.
Quelle photo émouvante, votre Lottie avec son encombrant collier emetteur (qui servira de hochet au bébé) et cette petite chose qui tete en toute quiétude, ce petit ne sait pas quel immense espoir il donne à tous ceux qui ont décidé que les chimps doivent etre chez eux et pas chez nous, entre eux et pas avec nous….enfin le moins possible…
dites nous si c’est une fille ou un garçon…..toutes nos félicitations à la grand mère….
