Shirin
Shirin is a notable chimpanzee known for her calm demeanor and solitary nature. After surviving a catastrophic event in the 1970s that resulted in the death of her fellow chimpanzees at the Tehran Zoo, she has lived a long life. Shirin has developed a unique habit of carrying a blanket that she uses during sleep, a behavior established since her youth. Currently, she is undergoing treatment for diabetes as she ages.
