Burrito may be the strongest chimp at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, but when hes scared, he always runs to his best friend Foxie for help...all 95 pounds of her! Burrito was born in a laboratory, raised as a pet, leased to a circus, and then sent back to a lab where he would remain for another 20 years. When he got to the sanctuary, he had a difficult time adjusting to life in a social group, and he often found himself in trouble with the higher-ranking females. But he could usually count on his friend Foxie to come to his rescue or comfort him when everyone else was against him. Thanks to Foxie, Burrito is learning how to be a chimpanzee. Best friends come in all shapes and sizes! #FriendFriday
