When Wildlife Waystation, an unaccredited wildlife facility in California, closed in August 2019, more than 40 chimpanzees were left in need of long-term care. Lincoln Park Zoo offered support and will be home to two of the chimpanzees, Eli and Susie, beginning this spring. “A group of zoo and sanctuary experts has worked for months to determine rehoming options for the large number of Wildlife Waystation chimpanzees,” said Erika Fleury of the North American Primate Sanctuary Alliance (NAPSA). “We are happy that Eli and Susie will receive the high-quality care, appropriate social integration, and lifetime support they deserve at Lincoln Park Zoo.” Eli, an 11-year-old male, and Susie, a 13-year-old female, were both trained performers prior to their move to Wildlife Waystation, having appeared in music videos, advertisements, and movies.
