Meet the Chimps
The Houston Zoo has brought chimps back to our city and into a state-of-the-art facility which opened in December 2010 in the new African Forest.
In their new home, the chimps have first-rate bedrooms to tuck themselves in for a good night’s sleep and a community space for engaging in activities and fun with their keepers.
Having chimps at the Zoo will do more than delight and entertain visitors; it will help raise awareness for their endangered counterparts in Africa, and teach us all the importance of protecting wildlife!
