Victoria came to the PRC in 1998—along with Debbie (now deceased), Donald, Hazel, and Zulu—from Dahlonega, Georgia.

Jenny was born on May 19, 1995, at LEMSIP, a former biomedical research laboratory in New York. Separated at birth from her mother.

Donald’s exact age is a mystery, since pet chimps were usually wild-caught in the 1960s and early ’70s, rather than bred in the United States.

Martina was born on January 21, 1991, at the Laboratory for Experimental Medicine and Surgery in Primates (LEMSIP).

Ike was born on June 6, 1994, at LEMSIP, a former biomedical research laboratory in New York. Like many chimpanzees bred for research.
