rdf:langString Julius (born 26 December 1979) is a chimpanzee at Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park in Norway. As a baby, Julius was rejected by his mother, and was eventually adopted by the family of Edvard Moseid, the director of the zoo. The baby chimpanzee became the subject of a children's documentary on the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in 1981, and was soon the park's most popular attraction. As Julius grew older and became more aggressive, attempts were made to reintegrate him with the flock. First attempts were unsuccessful, and Julius had to be isolated. The Zoo subsequently decided to build a separate facility so that Julius could live on his own, separated from the rest of the chimpanzees held at the Zoo. Over the years, Julius was partnered with a number of female chimpanzees, which resulted in the birth of his sons Julius Jr. in 2003 and Linus in 2005 by two different females. Julius would continue to live separated from the main social group until the leader of the group, Champis, died in 2005. Julius was once more admitted with the others, and although there were initial difficulties, he successfully managed to take the role as the group's new leader.
