Description
A special moment was captured on camera of a 28-year-old chimpanzee staring in awe as it sees the open sky for the first time after being rescued.
Save the Chimps, an animal protection organization in St. Lucie County, released a video of Vanilla taking her first steps into her new life.
Vanilla, Shake, Magic, Jeff and Ernesta arrived last year from the Wildlife Waystation and are being integrated into Late's Family on Air Force Island, one of the larger family groups part of the organization.
"We are happy to share that Vanilla and Shake are now fully integrated into this large chimpanzee family, giving them the opportunity and freedom to explore the family’s 3-acre island," leaders wrote online.
Shake was able to go out onto the island with no hesitation, but 28-year-old Vanilla wasn't as brave – she became more apprehensive when the door opened to the new world.
