Bounty of trolls

July 6, 2010 by J.B.

This morning I watched Foxie gather what may have been the largest number of trolls she has ever carried at one time. She had a troll scarf, a sock full of trolls, and probably seven or eight loose trolls. It took her a few minutes just to figure out how she could hold them all at once.

In case you were wondering, she did it by holding the sock and scarf in one hand, a couple trolls in the other hand, one troll in each foot, and one in her mouth.

She seemed quite satisfied with her collection. She spent the rest of the day passing trolls to her caregivers and initiating wild games of chase throughout the sanctuary.

Fourth of July Celebration

July 5, 2010 by Jackie

Yesterday got a little hectic, as often happens when working with chimps, so we decided to postpone our Fourth of July Celebration until today. Brandon Wood (check out his blog!), our amazing 9-year-old supporter, sponsored our party in honor of supporter Theresa Strunk’s birthday (surprise, Theresa!). He sent this awesome box of goodies for the party.

We feel horrible we couldn’t do the party on her actual birthday, but hopefully we’re making up for it now! It was a great party!

For the forage, we set out blue cups filled with red Gatorade and soy milk (red, white, and blue!)

And Brandon found this awesome Elmo pinata, which we filled with cherries and nuts!

…which Jamie, of course, thoroughly enjoyed!


But Jody managed to steal a few of the last bites. 🙂

Brandon also sent several Kong toys, which I filled with peanut butter. Annie LOVED it!

Thanks again, Brandon! And Happy (belated) Birthday, Theresa!! 🙂

Cute chimps!

July 2, 2010 by Jackie

The weather has been so wonderful today! After breakfast, I caught nearly everyone out in the greenhouse either grooming or resting. We have some pretty cute chimps here at CSNW. 🙂

Foxie cracks us up

July 1, 2010 by Elizabeth

I just found this footage from the coconut forage we did the other day. Note Foxie’s toes while she’s enjoying the coconut.
