Four chimpanzees were recenty rescued from a roadside zoo. The video of their reunion is awesome.

Good News Network says they were found in Ohio at a roadside zoo. The owner received repeated complaints on animal welfare and was recently sentenced to prison time.

The Ohio Department of Agriculture ordered the custody of the four chimps, named April, Anna, Cash, and Lucy, to be transferred to Florida’s Save the Chimps sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida.

The sanctuary said the “very sweet” chimps range in age from 13 to 26, and are adjusting well to their new surroundings.
