We’re continuing our series of blog posts on chimpanzee identification today with Jody. (If you missed the posts about Annie, Burrito, Foxie, or Jamie, click on their names.)

Jody is one of the larger females in the group, though not as muscular as Jamie. She has a very sweet face, with her eyes a little closer together than those of the other chimpanzees.

She’s missing parts of some of her toes due to old injuries. On her left foot, she’s missing the tips of her three middle toes (I couldn’t find a good photo). And here you can see that the second toe on her right foot is shorter than the rest.

Jody has distinctly pink nipples:

Her bottom lip is often droopy:

If there’s one thing Jody is known for, it’s her love of comfort. She spends a lot of time reclining. When she’s eating, she likes to lie on her belly:

    I think I’m finally learning how to tell them apart now thanks to your blog posts! 😀 Does the fact that Jody is missing parts of her digits bother her at all, I mean does it stop her from doing what ever she wants? I hope not! Hugs and Kisses to all the Cle Elum Seven! 😉
