From BBC

“It’s amazing how well Tonka is doing,” says the head of the Florida animal sanctuary where the chimpanzee now lives.

Though caretakers had set up a cozy space filled with hammocks and blankets for the chimpanzee, upon arrival at his new home — an ape sanctuary on Florida’s Treasure Coast — he eschewed this private room.
