Alamogordo Primate Facility Chuck Chimpanzee's records were obtained thru a FOIA request to the Department of Health and Human Services. Chuck was identified by id#2065 and CA0222. His birthday was 07/08/1973 and his date of death is 6/10/2002. We received little information about Chuck but will continue to investigate his death. According to documents from APF, "Cardiac disease; valvuilits and dilated cardiomyopathy." Documents about APF chimpanzees tell us: "3. Most of the chimpanzees have either been infected with one or more chronic viruses, and even if they were negative controls the chimpanzees have been subjected in the past to many invasive procedures such as punch biopsies of the liver and anesthetic events. These procedures are thought to contribute to long-term prolems in some animals with liver and renal failure, and various blood abnormalities."
