Twycross Zoo


In past threads we have discussed the unfortunate Chimpanzee, Cinder who died in 2009 that lived at the St. Louis Zoo. If you recall she had a condition called Alopecia universalis, a autoimmune disease, that also occurs in about 2% of the human population. It now appears that there is a Chimpanzee with the same condition at the Tywcross Zoo in England as indicated by this photo taken this year. Does anyone know any more about this animal?
