History & character/b>
Arrived in Edinburgh Zoo in 2010 from Beekse-Bergen Safari Park in the Netherlands. Frek is very easy-going and playful but is supportive to Paul in disputes. Generally he has a relaxed demeanour.

Frek was the most-recently introduced member of the group from Holland, so has spent less time with his group than any other chimp.  It remains to be seen whether this will have an effect on his behaviour when the two groups are integrated.
