Catching Up with 4-month-old Alizeti

@SedgwickCoZoo Sedgwick County Zoo excitedly welcomed a new member of the chimpanzee troop - a baby girl born August 20. Her name is Alizeti which means “sunflower” in Swahili.
Chimpanzee Chuckie gave birth in the presence of the troop during the early morning hours. The animal care team at SCZ observed mom and baby for a short time before coming to the conclusion that Chuckie was not exhibiting appropriate maternal behavior. In order to give Alizeti the best chance of survival, the team made the life-saving decision to remove her from the troop and provide human-assisted rearing during this first crucial stage of her development.
Human-assisted rearing involves round-the-clock care and attention for baby, designed to mirror how a chimp mother would naturally care for her infant. Just as mother chimpanzees never let baby out of their arms, caretakers will do the same until Alizeti is developmentally strong enough to be reunited with the troop. At that point, she will be raised by a foster mother with support of the rest of the chimpanzee family.

She is just too frickin’ cute. I hope she lives a long, happy, and healthy life.

[@buttercupj6208]

I know 😊

[@alyssarosengard6674]

She is a beautiful sunflower. Very appropriate name for her.

[@hadessahf3549]

And what is the appropriate name for your folly…

[@2degucitas]

Those front teeth are about to bust out of the gums! Her little whisper laughs are precious.

[@hadessahf3549]

And yu are deceived beyond sanity. Is this whwerevyou people come to worship. Your baby savior.

How cute is she! 🫶

[@urban_fox4658]

Oh my gosh, that laugh starting at 1:17 is too precious! And the toothless yawn! 🥰 So sorry that the little one wasn’t being cared for appropriately. That’s always such a shame because truly the ideal situation is for her to be with her mom and troop from the start. So thankful that she’ll be reunited with her family in the future, though! She looks very healthy and happy. Congrats, Little Bit! ❤🐵❤️ Welcome to the world!

[@hadessahf3549]

This deception Humanizing apes. Shameful. The work of the fallen ones.

[@hadessahf3549]

That toothless yawn is not permanent. You folks are playing with gote. Come to a world of deception of people who worship apes.

[@Jan-iu5hc]

this is the cutest one I've ever seen

[@VA4LVRS]

She is the most beautiful,precious little baby ever ❤❤❤

[@robertpreston2220]

agree!!

[@hadessahf3549]

It is an ape infant, that when it becomes an adult is capable of destroying you. Now how precious is that. They are wild animals that people have a tendency to humanize. Respect them for what they are.

[@hadessahf3549]

Laughing at you and the other ape worshippers. Deception is strange

[@lindaclause8269]

I would love to spend a day with these baby chimps, help them and teach them things they can use as they grow,!

[@hadessahf3549]

If it is an adolescent male, you would be in trouble. Humanizing wild animals is not prudent. Even Mother Nature knows if you make them angry, they can and will rip off your face.

[@suzanneking6693]

Gorgeous lil girl!

[@user-ny7rt6rt2e]

How perfect is she

[@hadessahf3549]

Only if you could be that perfect. How do you know the infant chimp is perfect. These are wild animals that are capable of killing each other and humans. They become very aggressive as they age Instead of looking at pictures and awing over them do some research.

My goodness, she is absolutely gorgeous! ❤ It's a hell of a lot of work for a human to raise a baby chimp. Hopefully within the year she'll be able to be reunited with her family.

[@hadessahf3549]

Bingo. That is why human raise their babies and ape takes care of and nurture their infants. ape worshippers got it twisted. Fallen angels at work.

[@elisaan725]

precious beloved little one. ❤

[@susancedio3801]

She is beautiful! ❤

[@marioncapriotti1514]

OMG, what an adorable, precious baby! I wonder, what went wrong with her birth mother? I hope she can be reunited with her troop and brought up to healthy adulthood by chimpanzee foster-parents, aunties and uncles, etc. And what a lovely name - Alizeti sounds as pretty as a sunflower looks! 💕❤🐒🌻

Gosh are they born with so many teeth? Poor nursing mama. The newborns are so precious and cute I can barely stand it. I would get one of those baby carriers that look like a cloth sling. Carry her everywhere. ❤

[@hadessahf3549]

There is a reason for that. Their diet may require this. Go live in a troop for a while and see what cuteness is really about.
