Jambo the hairless chimp #shorts #HairlessChimp

Jambo was born at the Twycross Zoo in England. He has alopecia, a form of hair loss he had since his youth. He was born on the 9th of June 1982. His daughter Genet, a brown chimp with a bald back and his mother Coco (1965) are in the same habitat. Coco is the oldest animal at Twycross Zoo. Jambo’s siblings from his father’s side are Holly who was born on the 27th of December 1982 and Jomar was born on the 28th of December 1990 both are in the same habitat as Jambo. William his half-brother was born on the 30th of June 1982 and Jambo’s first son Peter is in the next-door enclosure. Jambo started to lose his ear in November 2018, which some staff believes happened accidentally, it got ripped by his mum in a group fight. Twycross Zoo tried to glue it back on with skin glue, but unfortunately, as time went past he picked on it so much that he lost all of it. In October 2022 Jambo lost a toe, it’s unknown how exactly this happened. They have been some fights and agitation when Samatha the female chimpanzee is on heat, which might have been the reason. In 2018 The chimpanzees got their new “Chimpanzee Eden“ habitat. A 1,160sqm area with two seven-meter-high indoor spaces which are linked to a large outdoor area complete with huge climbing frames and huts. Jambo videos at:
