The new mother and baby chimp are said to be in good health.

Natasha is estimated to have been born in 1990. She originated from Kibale at Itwara National Forest and was rescued from Arua. She is among the first 19 chimpanzees to arrive at the sanctuary on October 12, 1998.

Very popular at the sanctuary especially amongst the males since, Natasha is also known to continue cycling even while on contraceptive implants.

Natasha’s pregnancy was confirmed early in the year after conducting a routine pregnancy tests on the female Chimpanzees.

The new born will be named soon.
