Who's There?   Yerkes National Primate Research Center
A listing of 121 chimpanzees held at Yerkes -- separated by decade of birth.
The current population is 96, according to a 2009 facility progress report.
(Data source: originally gathered by Stop Experimentation on & Exploitation of Chimpanzees (SEEC) in 2001. Information obtained from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicated a total of 160 chimpanzees at this facility in the 2002, but no further details. A September 2005 article in Nature noted a total of 109.)
A FOIA inquiry was sent to Yerkes on 4/20/10 requesting the names and other identifying information for chimpanzees at the facility. Yerkes did not respond to our request.
Yerkes holds 25 chimpanzees born prior to the 1975 ban on capturing free-living chimpanzees in Africa, indicating that some may have been captured from the wild as infants. The facility also holds four chimpanzees born after the 1995 voluntary federal breeding moratorium. Many chimpanzees believed to be at this facility have no recent data available. Of the current population - that we know of - there are 32 elder females and 15 elder males.
Chimpanzees are considered elderly beginning at 25 years for males (DOB 1985 or earlier) and 30 years for females (DOB 1980 or earlier).*
If you have current or historic information on the chimpanzees held at this facility, please email releasechimps@neavs.org.
