Edith the Chimp's Healthy Check-up
Description
Edith, a 29-year-old chimp at Edinburgh Zoo, passed her vet check-up with flying colors. The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland team performed a heart ultrasound and contraceptive implant, finding no issues. Edith, now back with her crew, resides in a state-of-the-art habitat that mirrors wild forests. The zoos partnership with Ugandas Budongo Conservation Field Station since 2005 focuses on research and protection for wild chimps. Ediths advanced age is not uncommon for captive females, who can live up to 80 years with proper care.
