kuki

Kuki is a female chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) who arrived at the park on 18/01/04 and we estimate that she was born during 1997. She was smuggled from the wild for the illegal pet trade in Turkey where she had several different owners. As a baby she was used on a disco boat to entertain tourists and when she grew too big she was sold to a family in Istanbul. Luckily for Kuki, the family was very caring and made arrangements for Kuki to be re-homed with others of her own kind.
