Caged chimpanzee for decades ‘amazed’ after seeing the open sky for the first time | ABC News



A 28-year-old chimpanzee named Vanilla was “in awe” when she saw the open sky for the first time at a sanctuary in Florida, rescuers say. According to Save the Chimps, Vanilla was a survivor of a now-closed research lab in New York where animals were kept in small cages. She was then transferred to a sanctuary in California where she lived “inside a wire cage.” Vanilla is “settling in very well” in her new home, caretakers say. #news #chimpanzee #animalsanctuary #greatape SUBSCRIBE to ABC News on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2vZb6yP Latest Updates: http://abcnews.go.com/ Watch FULL EPISODES on Hulu: http://abcn.ws /3bzvQQn
