Jamie, Foxie and Jody Play

November 23, 2009 by Jackie

Yesterday, Jamie and Foxie literally played all day. Jamie would steal Foxie’s trolls and was even spotted hiding them from her. In this video, you see Jamie just minding her own business when Foxie comes charging in to start yet another play session. They went on and on until finally Jody decided she wanted in the mix. Seeing Jody play is a rarity. She is, by far, the most serious chimpanzee at CSNW, but as you can see from the video, she’s coming around.

    It’s so interesting to watch the more playful chimps interact with the more serious chimps (Jody, Negra). It’s obvious they’re moderating their physicality in order to not scare or hurt others.

    The evidence of their compassion is pretty amazing.

    I noticed in Jody’s scene she didn’t display a ‘play face’, is that unusual?

    That’s interesting — Jody is even more serious than Negra??

    Jody definitely competes for Negra as our most serious chimp. However, I guess I think of Negra as a mother-figure of the group, rather than just serious. She’s more serene than serious, I think. Hard to say which is more serious… And you can definitely tell Foxie toned down her playing when she was playing with Jody. It seemed she was very unsure as to Jody’s intentions…. 🙂

    As for playfaces– sometimes chimps display a playface during play, sometimes they don’t. And for Jody, it’s fairly rare to see her with a playface. But you’ll notice Foxie made sure to keep her playface on when she started playing with Jody- probably as a signal to keep it playful, instead of it turning into something else. Smart cookie!!

    After all they’ve been through it’s heart warming to see them enjoy themselves. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!
