Ditty was one of the female chimpanzees used for breeding at the Marco Schwartz Commercial Chimpanzee Breeding Facility, which existed in southern Brazil.

Shortly after birth, her babies were taken away from her and sold throughout Brazil. Only when she arrived at the Great Apes Sanctuary of Sorocaba, in 2001, did she have the opportunity to raise her last three children more naturally and live in peace.

Ditty is a good mother. She is dedicated but strict, and closely watches her children all the time.
