Flirt is Fifi's eighth child and was born in the summer of 1998. She was a huge baby, even at birth, and continues to grow at an astonishing rate. Her size is especially magnified when she is around Gremlin's twins, who are the same age, but very small. With her huge size comes an even bigger personality! She is a very rough and tumble little chimp and has no problem holding her own when playing with her older brother Ferdinand or any of the other young chimps. One particular behavior is very telling of Flirt's personality. While other young chimps will ride on their mothers' backs in a crouched over, jockey-like position, Flirt often stands when they are traveling and stamps her feet on Fifi's back - like she is ready to take on the world.
