“Trixi is a confident and high-ranking matriarch,” said Carter. Mother-daughter duo Trixi, 50, and Tanya, 29, both adult females in the troop, showed interest almost immediately. The carefully planned process began with observing potential surrogate moms in the Detroit Zoo’s 11-member chimpanzee troop and their responses to Zane. To prepare Zane for life with the other chimpanzees, the Detroit Zoological Society consulted with the Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ Chimpanzee Species Survival Plan and other zoos that have integrated rejected infants into social groups. “He was always near the other chimps even though they physically could not be together.” “Every day, the other chimpanzees could see us caring for him,” said Carter. During this time, the chimpanzees could see him up close through the mesh of their enclosure. Over the five months, Zane lived in the Great Apes of Harambee building instead of a nursery so he could be around the other chimpanzees. The Detroit Zoo’s primate care staff stepped in to give Zane 24-hour care, which included carrying him constantly, as a mother chimp would, and teaching him to take milk from a bottle. Chiana was treated by veterinarians and recovered, but after she recovered, she showed no interest in caring for her little son. But soon after Zane’s birth, Chiana became very ill and was unable to care for her newborn. Zane was born on January 7, 2020, to Chiana, 26, who is also the mother of 6-year-old Zuhura. And now it’s a very heartwarming story of a baby who has found a devoted, adoptive chimp mom and family.” “Nights, weekends and through a pandemic -Detroit Zoo primate staff cared for the baby chimpanzee around the clock. “It’s a story of great dedication,” said Scott Carter, chief life sciences officer for the Detroit Zoological Society. That’s how long the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) animal care staff hand-reared a male chimpanzee born in early January before they successfully transitioned his care to an adoptive chimpanzee mom in June. I want to be able to show up.Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for five months (and during a pandemic).
It will take some time to live in the herd, but everyone is fine.
Yasuyo Oguri, a keeper of Hitachi City Kamine Zoo, said, "I am very happy that the chimpanzees are also living with new lives. The time when the baby will be open to the public is still undecided, and the zoo plans to post photos and videos on its website in the future. The baby chimpanzee born at the zoo has been named after NHK's taiga drama, and this time it was named "Chiyo" after the wife of Eiichi Shibusawa, the main character of "Reach Beyond the Blue Sky". The baby wrapped in a towel occasionally showed a lovely appearance, moving his limbs vigorously and staring at the keeper who approached him. The baby is a female, is 26 cm long and weighs 1750 grams, and will be artificially bred in an incubator for a while to make it easier to observe her health. Seven chimpanzees are bred at the Kamine Zoo in Hitachi City.Ī female chimpanzee "Strawberry" gave birth on August 8, and the baby was released to the press on August 28. A baby chimpanzee was born for the first time in nine years at a zoo in Hitachi City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and is growing well.
