[Fotografer]

Cinder, a favorite chimp at the St. Louis Zoo, died unexpectedly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>She was 14 years old.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cinder was completely hairless. She had &quot;she had a condition called Alopecia universalis. An autoimmune disease, it also occurs in about 2% of the human population&quot; according to information from the zoo's website.</p>
