Jambo has got his way with the women :-). He's been well looked after. First by Tojo.
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. Jambo's siblings from his father's side are William who was born on the 30th June 1982, Holly was born on the 27th of December 1982 and Jomar was born on the 28th of December 1990 all are in the same habit as Jambo.
Jambo's first son Peter is in the next door enclosure.
Jambo started to lose his ear in November 2018, which the 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 that much that he lost all of it.
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.
