Chimpanzee Kareem Scrubs Cares Away

  • Watch what happens when former research chimp Kareem and his group mates are given a special enrichment activity of tubs filled with water and ‪@MrBubbleBubbleBath‬ suds! After nearly three decades spent in research labs, Kareem now lives at Project Chimps, a 236-acre sanctuary for former research chimpanzees, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every day, Kareem and other chimpanzees roam the sanctuary's forested, 6-acre habitat and receive varied enrichment activities designed to keep them active and engaged, indoors and out.
    You can make moments like this possible for former research chimpanzees by donating needed enrichment items from our Amazon Wish List or making a recurring donation in any amount at projectchimps.org
    It's their time to live.

    Who would have thought that Kareem would be so observant watching and learning from the human care givers at Project Chimps. He seems to be the only one in the group smart enough to figure out the use of a bucket of soapy water and a scrubbing brush. This is why Project Chimps is the right place for these abuse animals. It gives them a chance to live outside being caged in labs for experiments. This small discovery shows why Kareem is the rightful Leader in his group of chimps.
    He's a bright lad.🐒🤓😘

      He probably would already be dead by disease, or another rival male, or perhaps a whole group of males would of attacked him, and ripped and tore him limb from limb, they tend to bite off the digits and face first, then they go after the testicles on another male chimp, it's extremely violent and gruesome. But that's how wild chimps do.

    Humans think that they can do whatever thy want to animals. This sanctuary has given hope and created awareness to turn this cruel and unforgiving practice around. Shame on the National Institute of Health and affiliates that did and do this to animals. It was never their choice to be tortured and killed and abused. Shameful practices that need to stop permanently.
