Character Information Gender: Female ♀ Status: Alive Hair: Gray Occupation: Chimpanzee researcher First appearance: "Simpson Safari" Voiced by: Tress MacNeille

Dr. Joan Bushwell is a chimpanzee researcher. She ran a "refuge" for chimps in Africa, which later was discovered to be a diamond mine, and the chimps were her miners.

Biography

Her daily schedule involves her getting up at 5:00 am and watching the chimps. She then eats roots and water for lunch and watches the chimps some more. At night, she thinks about chimps until it is time for bed. During a visit from the Simpson family, potential poachers come and destroy the refuge. It is revealed that they are from Greenpeace, and are actually saving the chimps, as they are being exploited and are being used to be diamond miners.

Behind the Laughter

• Dr. Bushwell is partly based on the renowned primatologist Jane Goodall.
