Photo of Charla Nash from 2016, seven years after she was almost killed by her friendβs pet chimpanzee, Travis.
Her injuries were incredibly horrific. Nash lost 9 fingers, her nose, eyes, lips, and mid-face bone structure and received significant brain tissue injuries. Doctors even had to remove chimp hair and teeth that had been implanted into her bones.
Nash required hours of surgery after the attack, and after her jaw was reattached she later flew to Ohio for an experimental facial transplant
