Jamie’s new boots!

January 31, 2010 by Jackie

Today, volunteer Stephanie P. brought a pair of amazing cowboy boots for Jamie. The pair she got on her birthday had worn out, so her eyes lit up like it was Christmas when she saw them and she’s been carrying them around with her all day. She loves her boots! Thanks Steph!!

Foxie and Jamie playing with Diana

January 30, 2010 by J.B.

The other day, Diana was playing chase with Foxie when Jamie decided to join in on the fun. Many of the chimps at CSNW will wear clothing when they are feeling playful. In this video, you’ll notice Jamie tying a sarong around her waist just before she invites Diana to chase her.

New look to the blog

January 29, 2010 by Diana

Mark Lehm of Nettle Design volunteered his time to redesign our blog! Now when people land on this page, they will be able to easily get to other pages on our main website and explore more about the chimpanzees and the work of the sanctuary. Big, big thank you and pant-hoots to Mark!

Burrito comes out of his shell

January 27, 2010 by Elizabeth

When it comes to play partners, Burrito tends to prefer his human friends. It is pretty rare to see him join in with the girls’ games (it’s hard to say why — perhaps he’s a little intimidated). Although he spends a fair amount of time grooming and being groomed by the other chimps, once things get playful, he usually withdraws a bit. So I was quite excited this morning when I caught him playing with Foxie in the front rooms. Apparently it looked like such a good time that Jody and Jamie tried to join in, too.

Chimps making news

January 26, 2010 by Sarah

Want to see a movie made by chimps? As part of a project at the Edinburgh Zoo, a group of chimps were able to record video clips by manipulating a camera inside a “chimp proof” box. Though the full footage is being reserved for a BBC special, you can watch some clips here. It’s pretty interesting! We’ll have to look into whether we can recreate a chimp proof camera here at CSNW. I bet some of our residents would have some visual messages to share!

Also, check out a nice write-up on us on the Times Union blog, written by Patrick Battuello, the same person who wrote about chimps in entertainment earlier this week.

Foxie- the next “Lord of the Dance”

January 24, 2010 by Jackie

Today, I popped in a video of “Lord of the Dance”, donated by one of our many wonderful supporters and volunteers, Stephanie Perciful. We put it on our wishlist in hopes that Negra would enjoy it, because she sometimes enjoys watching her caregivers’ dance. So far Negra hasn’t shown much interest in it and is usually too far away to see it. Foxie on the other hand, seems to thoroughly enjoy it and looks like she kind of wants to join in! Someone recently commented that Foxie may be musically inclined- I think I agree. Thanks, Stephanie! I’d say Foxie seems pretty enriched!

Note- I orginally said that the video was donated by Tamela, but it was actually Stephanie who donated it! So sorry Stephanie and Tamela for the confusion! Guess I am indeed human. 🙂

Foxie nesting

January 23, 2010 by Diana

Today Foxie nested in straw, following Jody’s lead. I’m pretty sure this is the first time we’ve seen Foxie nest with straw! See video:
