Teresa, a wild-born chimpanzee in her late 40s, delivered a baby girl Jan. 8, Chimp Haven announced Tuesday, eight days after the birth. Mother and daughter, named Tracy, are alert and well. The father's identity is unknown. All male chimpanzees receive vasectomies before they arrive at the sanctuary in southwest Caddo. A Chimp Haven news release dated Tuesday says information for paternity testing is being gathered "to determine who the father is, so that we can address the vasectomy failure immediately." Local philanthropist and major donor William Robinson will provide costs for the care of Tracy, the 11th baby born to Teresa but her first in 13 years and her first since entering retirement in the sanctuary near Keithville. Upkeep costs average about $5,000 per year per resident. Tracy's arrival makes 90 chimps at the haven; she is the only one not in retirement. Chimp Haven officials were hesitant to release the information until they were "sure mom and baby were doing fine," said Rick DelaHaya, the organization's public relations manager. Had the birth or first week of life resulted in complications or death, DelaHaya said, Chimp Haven "probably would have" released that information. It is not unusual for females to have babies at Teresa's age, he said; behaviorists at Chimp Haven are aware of a female in captivity giving birth at age 60. Males can reproduce into their 50s, DelaHaya said. Also, unplanned pregnancies have happened at other retirement homes, despite the males having had vasectomies, he said. Chimp Haven personnel "suspected in late fall" that Teresa might be pregnant but were still "kind of surprised" by last week's birth, he said, "because of the age of Teresa ... plus the males all had vasectomies." A timeline of determining the father is uncertain but "they've narrowed it down to three or four of the seven males in that group because of their interest in the female," DelaHaya said. Blood and hair samples are being collected from the males and will be collected from the baby, he said. A special ceremony is not planned for the father once paternity is discovered, DelaHaya said when asked. "I think the ceremony will be that particular male having another procedure. Doesn't sound like much fun, but we do what we have to do." http://shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070117/NEWS01/301170001
