Parviz’s death, Iran’s oldest chimpanzee

Ali Taheri, veterinarian of Eram Zoo, said:

Despite efforts, Parviz, the oldest chimpanzee in Iran, one of the symbols of the Eram Zoo and was moved to this place since its inception, died calmly while resting in her bed. Parviz has been suffering from anorexia for the past 7 days. The very weak pulse, the pale mucosa and the examination of his heart showed severe arrhythmia.

Qassim Mohammadi, then manager of Eram Zoo, also noted that 5 % of Eram Zoo animals are old:

Replacing the flock of chimpanzees is one of these measures, and we have done correspondence with Kenya to transfer the old chimpanzee herd to the center of this species in Kenya and receive a young herd, which unfortunately has not yet achieved results.

– Qassim Mohammadi, Eram Zoo Director

Is to say; Parviz also had a history of playing in the movie.
