Jambo The Hairless Chimp In A Huge Brawl Which Caused More Injuries

Jambo the hairless chimpanzee hasn't got it easy. The chimp from the Twycross Zoo ended up in a huge brawl again, resulting in some more injuries including big cuts. So please be aware that the video shows the injuries. This isn't Jambo's first injury, he has enough battle scars to show. The biggest one losing an ear in a battle. I always thought he lost his ear, fighting with his challenger Kibali, as this is what the educational talks were saying, but it turns out this wasn't true. The actual keepers of the chimps said that it was his mum that did it. Yes, his mum Coco. Who would have thought? Not sure how or why. Maybe just an accident in all the confusion of a fight. Twycross did try to save the ear, as it was the only party ripped at first, by stitching it back on and even using skin glue, but Jambo kept opening it up again, so they just had to let it heal naturally. Which it does quite quickly in Chimpanzees. I'm sure they do give him something for the pain. The bite he received this time looks quite bad and deep, but unfortunately, this is a common thing among chimps and not just captive chimpanzees. Wild chimpanzees just like other animals fight to stay on top and even kill. I'm sure you're aware of lots of wildlife programs that show this behaviour all the time in different types of animals. Jambo got in a fight with a male, when all the rest of the troop joined in and a massive fight started. Some of the troop jump on top of Jambo, biting him and others like the females trying to protect him. The chimp on the left is taking a bite out of Jambo and pulls his leg, you can just see this to the left. You can also see Rosie (the chimp with the pink face) cutting in, to defend Jambo. You'll also see Jambo's Daughter Genet ( brown chimp towards the camera) try to get the others off Jambo as well. As quickly as it started it stopped again and everybody dispersed. Jambo licking his wounds and making his way to the outside. With the cold winter air, his breathing looks like he's having a smoke and a quite moment for himself. Charlotte his half-sister coming to check on him and licking his wounds, but Jambo moves away. Jambo who has alopecia, a form of hair loss was born on the 9th June 1982. He has a daughter named Genet. A brown chimp with a bald back). His mum is Coco was born in 1965. Coco's offspring are Jambo and his half-sister Charlotte. She was born on 28 Sep 1978. Jambo has more siblings at Twycross from his father's side who is William born on the 30th of June 1982, Holly was born on the 27th of December 1982 and Jomar was born on the 28th of December 1990. He started to lose his ear in November 2018, when he had a fight and his mum Coco ripped it. Twycross zoo tried to glue it back on with skin glue, but unfortunately, as time went past he picked on it that much that he lost all of it.
