Tony the Chacma Baboon is coming home to Franklin Zoo after living at Auckland Zoo since Feb 2007. We moved Tony to Auckland Zoo so he could be in a social situation with the then 3 old Chacma baboons, who have now all passed away. Tony has since been living in parallel with Hamadryas Baboons.
The Franklin Zoo Charitable trust will be fundraising to build Tony a new home so that going into the future he will have lots of enrichment and be able to watch the goings on at the Sanctuary. If you are interested in progressing the welfare of Tony, we are hoping to raise funds to build his new enclosure as soon as possible. You can donate via this web site or if your company is keen to sponsor Tony, please call Dr Helen Schofield at the zoo on ph: 09 236 8686
