Little Mama


Little Mama was an American chimpanzee at Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee in Palm Beach County, Florida, known for being considered the oldest member of her species ever recorded by the time of her death, where she was thought to be in her late 70s.
Her age was estimated at between 30 and 35 by primatologist Jane Goodall in 1972, and the Safari settled on February 14, 1938, as her birth date for commemorative purposes. She arrived at the Safari in 1967, after having spent time performing as an ice skater, possibly in the Ice Capades.
