I used to have to visit a place at work that had a bunch of research chimps. When we went near the cages, you had to really watch out because those frickers would sometimes pick up one of their own turds and throw it at us!

There are over 6,800 non-human primates housed at the Center which makes NIRC one of the largest primate center in the US.  Active breeding and/or research holding programs exist for the following species: Cebus apella, Chlorocebus aethiops, Macaca fasicularis, Macaca nemestrina, and Macaca mulatta.

Disney + has a cool documentary series on chimp life there.

I don’t remember what it’s called though.
