Volunteer Pam made these raisin logs for the chimps – she drilled holes in the logs and stuffed them with golden raisins. With Jamie’s love of fruit, I’m sure you can guess who got most of the raisins, but the other chimpanzees managed to get some too.
Burrito with raisin log and Jamie pant-hooting in excitement:
Jamie with her collection and Annie looking on:
Here’s a photo of Foxie in front of one of the windows with a raisin log. She managed to get one right away and sequestered herself ‘upstairs’ as Jamie searched for more logs on the floor below (even though you don’t see Trixie in this photo, she’s there – right at Foxie’s feet. Foxie is still carrying her wherever she goes. If you don’t know who Trixie is, you are very behind in the activities of the Cle Elum Seven and you should read some previous posts 🙂
Glad to hear (literally) that they were enjoyed… hopefully by all – although Jamie’s collecting efforts are impressive.
Want to give credit where credit is due – my husband Marc did the actual cutting and drilling of the logs… it was a joint effort for the Chimps.
Thanks for telling us that Trixie was not far away. I was wondering if she let go of her to eat, apparently only for a short time. What a great idea. Did they have small twigs to dig them out or did they just work at them with their teeth?
Well now those are some of the best food grunts and hoots I’ve heard yet ~ well done Pam and Marc!!
These videos are so much fun to watch & listen to!! 🙂 I love the idea of the raisin logs!
hats off to Pam & Marc.. too cool!
Jamie’s pant-hoot is priceless!
