For Michael Aufhauser, it was Martha who ultimately persuaded him to agree to the takeover. When he looked into Martha's eyes during his visit, he was deeply touched and recognized her grief. He already knew her biography. When she was less than a year old, she experienced the attack by ape traders in her home country in Africa. Every adult chimpanzee who tried to protect her was shot. In all probability, her mother was too. Martha's nature has changed in a very positive way. She has completely conquered the living space and maintains intensive social contact with Clyde. Martha even forces him to show her affection. She is sometimes jealous of Pünktchen. Her limited motor skills have also improved considerably. She has become braver, more active in the group, looks for friends on her own and has overcome her fears over time. Martha was the first to go to the outdoor area and enjoys being outside. She loves looking for food in the holes in the trees and thinks that she is undiscovered and unobserved.
