Gregoire (c.1942–December 17, 2008) was up until his death Africa's oldest known chimpanzee. For the last years of his life he was a resident of the Tchimpounga Sanctuary (part of the Jane Goodall Institute) in the Republic of the Congo. Previously he had lived in solitary confinement for more than 40 years in a cage at the Brazzaville Zoo before being rescued by JGI staff. He died peacefully in his sleep at the Sanctuary's rehabiliation center on December 17, 2008 aged 66.[1]
