Last Saturday, Zakayo, the poster boy of the Uganda Wildlife Education Center (UWEC) in Entebbe, celebrated his 44th birthday among his human and non-human primate friends.
Zakyao has been a resident at the UWEC since 1976 and has made it his mission to take care of 8 other chimpanzees who became residents since their rescue.
Zakyao's reaching maturity is proof of the hard work the UWEC has been doing to preserve the declining population of chimpanzees.
Zakayo likes to climb trees and likes to spend time with two females, Amida and Ruth, whom he is particularly fond of.
Happy Birthday Zakayo and may many chimps live and prosper as you do!
