🎉 30 Years at Monkey World! 🎉
Hananya is a male chimpanzee who was smuggled into Israel for the illegal pet trade. He arrived at Monkey World in 1996, on this day, alongside Semach.
In 2004, Hananya became the dominant male of his group. He is very protective of his family and is a wonderful role model for the younger members of his group.

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
Dolly Parton never wavered in her belief that everyone deserved to live openly, love freely and be accepted exactly as they are. As the world mourns the loss of an irreplaceable icon, her words remain as powerful as ever.
Rest in peace, Dolly.
Our whole family is devastated to hear of Dolly’s passing. Dolly was an icon, a legend, a world unto herself. But even more, she was mom’s friend. She was her “mountain sister”. They understood each other. Our hearts go out to all of Dolly’s family and team. We take comfort in knowing the Honky Tonk Angels are together again and that one day, we will hear them live again. Sending our love, The Lynn Family
Well, I just got the news that my buddy Dolly passed onto the higher and greater side.
Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth.
Your love, your music and you gave so much with your huge huge heart.
There will never ever be another you.
We will remember and cherish every memory and every note you ever played and sang.
Thank you, Lord, for Dolly.
She’s gonna have a blast in heaven singing all her favorite songs with all her family and friends who have gone on before her.
I’ll never forget the first time I met you and I’ll never forget our last conversation. I hold it with love in my heart.
I will always love you,
Reba
It’s hard to imagine many people having a bigger impact than Dolly Parton. Born in a one-room cabin, she earned 11 Grammys and an Emmy, built a business empire, helped millions of kids learn to read, and — as if that wasn’t enough — helped accelerate the research that led to the Moderna COVID vaccine. What a life. Michelle and I are thinking of Dolly’s family and her many, many fans.
Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

It is indeed rare for the world, collectively, to express sorrow for someone’s passing. I knew her to be the angel that they think she was, and I’ll miss her. Dolly, I’ll always love you. -Trace

"I absolutely loved working with Gillian- She was so much fun: intelligent, warm, and always with that sparkle in her eyes. A truly lively lady, and these photos bring back such happy moments. "
Oh, Archie! We get it girl. We get it.
As we were making this record, I kept finding myself thinking about you. Every song we recorded, every story we told—I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to stand onstage and share it with you face to face. I am honored to finally invite you to…The Hard Truth Tour. 💙
