Punia
Chimpanzee
Punia, her companion, Pweeke, and her daughter, Zuri, came from an Argentine zoo. There, the family shared the enclosure with two other chimpanzees, but while they were in the indoor area, the other two had to stay outside the enclosure. Due to this management difficulty and the impossibility of integrating all five individuals, Anami was requested to take in the three of them. They are the newest residents of the Institute, having arrived in 2018. She, along with her companion and daughter, adapted very well to the new home and new routine. She is a present and protective, yet calm mother. She spends hours grooming, a characteristic shared by all three family members.
