    awww, that was so cute to watch… was that Jamie pulling Foxie around by the finger? I’m new to this blog and the chimps so I don’t always know who is who.

    Oh that Foxie! Always one for play. I just love the somersault to start it off and then the twirl at the end. Thanks JB.

    Making up for lost time when they couldn’t move around much, let alone play. It’s wonderful to see them having fun and laughing.
    I do have a few questions that are off topic of the video though. I noticed Jamie is in estrus. Does Burrito ever mate with the girls? Also, has he had a vasectomy or are the girls on birth control? These may have been asked before and I apologize if they have answered. I will blame on it memory loss with age. 😉

      We saw one attempt at mating early on between Jamie and Burrito, but nothing since then. Sadly, many captive chimpanzees are raised in such unnatural conditions that their normal social and sexual development is stunted. Burrito definitely responds to changes in the girls’ cycles, but he does not engage in copulatory behavior.

      Burrito had a vasectomy before coming to the sanctuary.

        Thank you, J.B. It makes perfect sense that their sexual development would be as stunted as their social development. It is sad indeed.

    Love the last bit when Foxie? does a little 1 foot twirl! I kept pulling the curser back so i could watch it again and again!

    It is wonderful to see the girls playing with each other, and laughing with joy!
    O, how great I feel just having watched that wonderful video. For sure, their lives are filled these
    days with the joy they deserve, thank you for caring for them!
