So the man, who lives in Liberia, bought the baby chimp and, because the little animal’s family had been killed by wildlife traffickers, named him Survivor. The man said that Survivor’s forehead had even been grazed by a bullet when poachers attacked his family. He truly was a little survivor.
But keeping Survivor as a pet turned out to be much more complicated than the man expected. As Survivor grew, he became stronger. Because he had no trees to climb, he tried to climb all over the house, leaving destroyed furniture in his wake.
