Stevie Takes Baby Chimp Jeff On An Adventure

Baby Chimp Jeff is adored by the chimpanzees at Chester Zoo
They all want to look after him and play with him - especially the young chimps - 5 year old Stevie (his sister) 3 year old Toyah (his Aunt) and unrelated 4 year old Annie
In this video his big sister Stevie wants some time alone with him. Big sister Stevie has had a close bond with the baby chimp since he was born in December 2022 and has had a big role in helping mum ZeeZee to care for him. She is often seen cuddling him, playing with him and as in this video taking him off on an adventure, carrying him like mum on her back!
There are so many wonderful moments in this video - look out for the scene when Stevie tries to get Jeff up onto her back and the scene when they both look at each other with so much sibling love - and baby Jeff was interested in what Stevie was eating!!
Another heartwarming moment in the video is when Jeff sees mum ZeeZee and runs back to her!
baby chimp Jeff - the youngest chimp in the group at nearly 10 months old, is now growing up fast but is still adorable, tiny and cute!
Baby Jeff is now exploring his environment and spends a little more time away from mum ZeeZee, but under the watchful eye of the group.
There is always a chimp looking out for him! and he regularly runs back to his mother ZeeZee - if he doesn't get grabbed by one of the other chimps first! (mainly by adults Sally and Pattie or the younger chimps Stevie and Annie)
In this video we see Sally, an unrelated female who has had a close relationship with the baby since birth, go get Jeff and bring him back to be near his mum ZeeZee 2 times after Annie runs off with him!
at the end of the video - and the third time Annie takes him, Jeff returns to his mum on his own, its adorable to watch him running back to her!
ZeeZee is a laid back experienced mother chimp who has had previous offspring and as she gets so much help with her baby from the other chimps, she was happy to let Annie play with Jeff and have some responsibility with looking after him and in doing so she is helping Annie and the other younger chimps gain the essential experience of rearing young themselves. This chimpanzee group have a strong family relationship which is wonderful as it helps to give other chimps who have yet to have babies and teach the young chimps much needed skill to raise families of their own
Baby Jeff is such a little cutie, and he is growing in strength and confidence by the day, Stevie is certainly helping him with this.
The whole chimpanzee troop have a role in watching out for the little baby chimp and some Adult female chimps play a bigger role in helping mum ZeeZee raise him, especially Pattie and Sally who are often seen with Jeff and taking him back when the younger chimps Stevie and Annie run off with him or are playing a little too rough with him
filmed on the September 2023
