I remember on an ep of the zoo they showed the alpha male getting castrated not sure if it was or wasn't Lubutu. But after the process the male chimp didn't seem less lively,

how many other males are at Taronga?

That chimp was Lubutu. I'm not sure how many other males there are, believe Sandali has gone to Adelaide Zoo, and I know of two other adults 14 y.o. Shabani and 12 y.o. Chimbuka. Also there's a male infant, Sule.
How many chimps are there at Taronga? 20-ish?
