Fauna’s matriarch, Sue Ellen is a remarkable chimpanzee whose life has been so hard for so long. It’s hard to imagine that she has gone through such a life of cruelty when you look at her cute round ears and a tiny button nose. Sue Ellen has displayed unparalleled resilience despite losing the use of her legs in 2018. Due to her ever-evolving lifestyle, she spends a lot of time with caregivers. They spend time serving her meals, grooming and interacting with her. Sue Ellen enjoys life’s simple pleasures, such as sitting out in the morning sun and eating her breakfast leisurely while the day unfolds around her. Sue Ellen is able to interact with her neighbours through the enclosures when she choses to do so. Sue Ellen is respected by all of her Fauna family. She loves to dress up like royalty. She is often found wearing scarves, beaded necklaces, purses or even something exotic, like a hula hoop wrapped around her waist.
