The
"royalty" of Africa U.S.A. was
Princess Margaret. Adopted as an infant
chimp by the Pedersen family, Margaret
was raised just like a human child. She
entertained countless people with her
personality and charm and that great
smile. She loved to wear frilly dresses
and especially enjoyed riding her bicycle
around Africa U.S.A. and on shopping
excursions to buy new clothes. She
appeared many times on the Tonight
Show with Jack Paar. During the day
she had her own Cape Cod style "house"
in the main entrance building where
arriving guests could watch her at play.
At night she went home with the
Pedersens, occasionally swinging from the
crystal chandelier!
