Jazzy arrived in 2002 with T.J. Chota and Babou. They were bought from a local by a Pakistani commander who was stationed in Koidu, and kept them for 8 months. The U.S. Embassy assisted with a helicopter to rescue these chimps. Jazzy is unique in that he shares the role of alpha male with Chota. Chota is the true alpha, and the largest in the group, however he is physically disabled. Jazzy is physically fit, but a weaker leader, and the two of them respect each other enough to lead the group peacefully, unless they start fighting over the ladies!
