Liberius

Liberius relaxes in the Budongo Trail facility at Edinburgh Zoo

Adopt a chimp!Born: 20 January 1999

Appearance: Liberius is the smallest chimp with the pinker skin on his face, hands and feet.

History and character: Liberius is the (not so!) baby of the group. His mother is Lucy.  He still has slightly pinker skin then the rest of the chimps, signalling to them that he is still young and learning. However, he is now having to toe the line and is learning a few harsh lessons about chimpanzee hierarchy and where he fits in to this……pretty near the bottom!

He can still be seen playing with the older males, especially Louis and Ricky, who seem to take great delight in having an excuse to relive their childhood with Liberius.
