At age five, Mowgli still had an active working-life when his California owner decided to get out of the apes-in-entertainment business and retire all his apes to the Center's sanctuary in Florida. Mowgli had worked in the first CareerBuilders TV ads, was a "regular" on the Dennis Miller Show, and had just finished the movie "Shaggy Dog" before he arrived in Wauchula with eleven other chimpanzees in March 2005.Mowgli arrived in the company of then 2-year-old infant Kodua, and the two of them were inseparable. But, babies don't raise babies so when Kodua was introduced back to her original family (Oopsie's group), Mowgli was introduced to several older youngsters - Natsu, Brooks, and Angel.Mowgli is a very friendy and gets along well with many of the chimpanzees he has met. He has lived with Natsu, Angel, Brooks, Daisy, Roger, & Mickey. Currently he is living in Grub's group which is made up of Grub, Noelle, Kenya, & Toddy. Mowgli's best friend is Kenya and they are usually found off together playing or grooming in the chutes.Mowgli enjoys swinging in his hammock while looking at photographs in magazines and he loves toys and balls.
