Full Speed Ahead!

October 13, 2011 by Jackie

On day 1 of Young’s Hill, we saw a lot of wrestling from Annie and Missy (shocking, I know!), but since then, we haven’t seen a whole lot of playing on the hill, most likely because there has been so much to do and explore out there that they just haven’t “had the time”. Over the last few days, however, I’ve been noticing them get more and more playful. Chase has been a favorite game lately (apparently, even Gators make good chase partners!). I’m sure after watching the construction all summer, the chimps (or Missy and Jamie at least) have just been waiting for the opportunity to get up to a full speed run! But with 2-acres to explore, even just walking around is such amazing exercise for them. I’m sure they are sleeping like babies at night!

    Such happy girls. How are Negra and Jody adjusting by now? And Mr. Burrito? Thanks for keeping us updated–it is very heartwarming to see them so happy.

      Burrito and Negra have both been staying inside or in the outdoor area a lot lately. Jody on the other hand is loving the hill! In fact, she was pretty dead set on not letting me close the door the other day. It was cold, windy and rainy and no one was on the hill, but Jody had set up camp in the raceway and did not want me to close the door. I think she just wanted to option of going out there– sanctuary is about choice, after all! She even tried to put blankets in the doorway to prevent it from closing, which I’m sure was the perfect solution in her mind, considering she often helps us out when there are blankets in doorways and we can’t close our other doors. 🙂

    i do love how chimps always make it look like they are taking time out to amuse us humans ! this is a lovely clip , im so glad the chimpsters still enjoy their games of chase as much as they did before the hill , i agree i bet they sleep well with all the fresh air exercise 🙂
