Baron
Est. Date of Birth 2002
Male
My name is Baron and I arrived at Ngamba in 2008. I love other chimps and hate to be left alone! I especially love the company of Indi but when I am being bullied by other chimps I will run to Tumbo for protection. I also love to mess with my caregivers and will often be the very last one out of the holding facility in the mornings. I always end up out in the forest but it’s a fun game making them work to get me out.
My Story
Baron/Leo (Profile of the Baron of Ngamba Islands)
Dating way back to the 11th Century, men and women battled hard to be named Baron’s and Baroness’s during the rule of William the Conqueror.
These titles were originally bestowed on noblemen to acknowledge the loyalty they had pledged to the new Norman king. But for me I had to look cute and interesting enough to make a Baron give me his name.
My name is Baron and I was originally named Leo but my name was quickly changed after being adopted by a one Baron who gave me his name and continues to sponsor my welfare all through these years.
You might say some Chimpanzees are lucky but I think I’m the luckiest Chimpanzee to ever live at Ngamba Island. Most of my friends don’t have sponsors who support their welfare but I do and I receive the same amount of support or more every single year since I arrived at Ngamba on 28th July 2008.
