The animal rights organization was alerted to Tonka’s whereabouts by the “Chimp Crazy” producers, who feared Tonia Haddix was going to euthanize the ape. Haddix told the cameras that her ...
Technically, in a human–animal hybrid, each cell has both human and non-human genetic material. It is in contrast to an individual where some cells are human and some are derived from a different organism, called a human-animal chimera.

In the 1997 movie “Buddy,” Rene Russo plays a wealthy, eccentric collector of wild animals. Hoarder might be a more fitting description. Chimpanzees are among the animals in her possession.
