Orphan chimpanzee flown from Kenya to new Dorset home in ‘VIP’ crate
An orphan chimpanzee has been rescued from the illegal bushmeat trade in the Republic of Congo and delivered to her new home at a UK animal sanctuary by courier.
Chocolat spent 20 years in Kenya, being looked after by her original rescuer, after her family were hunted and killed when she was an infant.
Now DHL Express has delivered her to Monkey World in Dorset in a tailor-made “VIP” crate.
The journey, which was planned to reduce the amount of time Chocolat spent in transit, began at Nairobi airport on August 15 and involved a brief stop in Bahrain before arriving at East Midlands Airport the following day, with the chimp then being transported to Monkey World by road.
