Flirt - b. 1998	Image 1 of 1


Privileged child Born in the summer of 1998, Flirt is a huge baby and grows fast. She is perhaps the most privileged chimpanzee in the Kasekela clan. Her mother, Fifi, is the dominant matriarch and her brother, Frodo, has just replaced another brother, Freud, as the Alpha male. Flirt's a larger-than-life character. She's independent, confident, loves playing rough and tumble with her older brothers and unlike most juveniles who jockey-ride their mothers when on the move, Flirt stands, stamping on Fifi's back, egging her on!
