From Fruruviks homepage:
Santino is the alpha male and leader of the pack. He was born 20-4-1978 in Munich Zoo and came to Furuviksparken at age 5. He is as strong as four adult humans.
He is a very smart chimp and we call him even for the thinker. Sometimes he shows up his dominance by blowing up the coat, jumping, banging and trying to sound as much and loud as possible. This is to tell you that he is the biggest, best and most beautiful. So take you only!
And he is a handsome chimpanzee, just look at his silver back, it is seen as very beautiful in the chimpanzee world.

Actually he is sitting outside (I made the background to for the portrait), Furuvik zoo has a very good ape enclosure and he is born in captivity. He is also a "painter" and his artist work income goes to aid to Africa. From Fruruviks homepage: Santino is the alpha male and leader of the pack.
