If you got close enough to Talking Chimp’s cage, she’d throw dirt, food — anything her baby paws could fit around — while her companion, Rudy [Ekornes], made loud sounds that resemble what some call a ‘raspberry.’

Talking chimp did all her own stunts.

She was the featured beast in the movie Barfly.

Upon her release Talking Chimp left the industry and went on to Oxford.

Talking Chimp was seen with a lot of gentle creatures wearing jeans and racing through the wood, building paranoia.

“Let’s not do this, let’s not make hurting each other impossible to resist,” the real talking chimp enjoined, unable to stop herself.

Unexpectedly, she took me home to meet her family.
