Baby Raised With Chimp In Bizarre Experiment That Ended In Tragedy

The study was initially planned to last five years. However, the Kelloggs ultimately ended it early after noticing troubling changes in Donald’s behavior. He began grunting when asking for food, wrestling with Gua, and even displaying aggressive tendencies such as biting.

Another theory suggests that the parents feared Gua’s growing strength could eventually pose a danger to Donald.

Unfortunately, both Donald and Gua met tragic ends.

Once the experiment was abandoned, Gua was taken away from the home where she had been raised as part of the family.

She was placed in a cage, a stark contrast to the affection she had previously known.

Dumas noted the emotional toll of this separation, stating: “This was the second time she was stripped from her ‘mother/caregiver’ and she went from a warm affectionate family life to a relatively barren cage with other strange and not so well-behaved chimps,”

He went on to explain: “She died less than a year later, circa her third birthday, of a broken heart (the official cause of death was determined to be pneumonia).”

Meanwhile, Donald’s life also took a devastating turn. In 1973, at the age of 43, he tragically died by suicide—just one year after his parents passed away.
