Chimp Attack Update -- Victim Could Die

21 March -- Latest Update -- Prior Warning Existed

Out of Ohio comes the sad news that Travis The Chimp's victim Charla Nash's survival is in doubt. Newly released details from the hospital reveal the attack left Nash suffering from a traumatic brain injury, along with her hands being torn off, and most of her face being savagely ripped off her skull.

In the latest release from the Cleveland Clinic, we learn "The full extent of these injuries and her potential for recovery, if any, remain unclear at this time." Nash lost her nose, upper and lower lips, eyelids and the bony structures in her mid-face in the attack. "While these wounds have been stabilized, critical issues still remain related to a significant traumatic brain injury and injuries to her eyes that threaten her vision," the Clinic's statement said.

Below is a news conference with Charla Nash's family. No other single news source has more comprehensive coverage of the tragic Connecticut Chimpanzee attack. We've been the #1 site in the world for people seeking information and updates on the Travis The Chimp Attack.

Please Take A Moment To Look Around

DCRTV & St. Marys Today Readers, Check Back Often

In an attempt to maintain whatever little journalistic integrity this site may have ever had, I have been advised to execute a moratorium on crazed ape stories. After speaking by phone with Editor In Chief, T.R. Mencken vacationing in Brasil, I was afforded a compromise.

For all the monkey lovers, I've put together a special picture gallery. Here you can see Travis in all his glory, with a few bonus pics of some other apes thrown in.

New details have emerged in the aftermath of the ape attack. The attack victim had most of her face ripped away. She is also reported to have lost all of her fingers as they were so badly bitten.
We learned after Travis was shot by the police officer he attacked, Travis limped away to his playroom where he crawled back in his cage and died.

Travis' mom, who had a license to keep him, had previously claimed he was completely domesticated. 'He loves baseball. He likes anything with action (I bet he does). If I cry, he'll lick my tears,' she said. Angry family members have reportedly been calling up Travis' mom yelling, screaming and threatening her for being responsible for the monkey's death.


In summary, here's a few fun facts on Travis the killer ape;

• Travis was potty trained and could log on to a computer, and use the TV remote to change channels.

• He could brush his teeth

• He was able to dress himself and drink wine from a glass
  

• Travis starred in several TV commercials including; Old Navy & Coca Cola

My apologies to you for all of the monkey posts. There will be no more for the time being. I think today I might have gone just a little bananas. ;-)

Is this woman part ape?

She calls herself his mother, and refers to the now famous chimpanzee as her son? Pictured above is Sandy Herold, the owner, and another beast, though not the monkey in question, a more fitting picture than the actual.
