Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Does anyone have contacts in Korea who might be able to help us find out about Kigogoro's baby who was shipped to Korea, date unknown. This " profile " appears on the Uganda Wildlife Education Center's web site http://www.uweczoo.org/bio/chimpanzee.html Profile Information: Kigogoro Kigogoro was found in Kasese in January 1970 and hand-raised by a Ugandan doctor. She was then taken to Entebbe Zoo on 8th September 1976. When Kigogoro first arrived at the Zoo, she lived in a cage with a concrete floor, next to four other chimps. However, when Entebbe Zoo became the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre (UWEC) in 1994, an exhibit was built for the chimpanzee group and they now live together in a naturalistic setting. Kigogoro has produced one baby with Zakayo and this infant was given to the government of Korea. She is very protective of new and young chimpanzees and is very gentle with them. She does not fight for food and does not like conflict. One of her little fingers is missing, but it is not known for sure how this happened. The CITES web site www.cites.org lists faxes and phones for the Korean MA, does anyone have an e-mail address so I can ask about this baby chimp?
