Ms. Julie is a joy
to have around Tacugama.
At 20 years old, she
is one of the oldest
chimps at the Sanctuary
and along with Bruno
was partly responsible
for the sanctuary’s
inspiration. A Scottish
businessman, originally
owned Julie, but when
his contract ended,
he simply left her in
a cage and returned
to the UK. Bala immediately
took her into his care.
Bruno and Julie have
now lived together for
17 years and are extremely
close to each other.
Julie gave birth to
Jumu in 2004 and has
proved to be an excellent
mother. She is wise
& fair. During feeding
time all those chimps
who are unable to compete
with the bigger boys
and girls will surround
Julie as she is so gracious
in sharing her food
with the have-nots.
