Watching Missy run uphill amazes me. I’m not sure how it looks on video, but the volunteers that helped build the enclosure can tell you that just walking up that hill will wear you out. It’s just another sign of the chimps’ inherent strength, and their desire to experience the simple joys in life.

That’s beautiful. Thank you.
Whew!… she wore me out watching her 🙂 She most definitely was feeling it today.
This video fills my heart with joy!
What a beautiful sight to see her fly up and down the hill. Does Annie try to keep up with her, they usually have so much fun together. These are scenes of pure joy. Thanks for this happy video!
Yes, Annie tries to keep up, but no one can keep up with Missy.
Go, Missy, go! That is the best thing to see. I could just hear her thundering by….one of my favorite sounds. And now I have to go lie down after watching her!
awww, you can just see Missy’s joy in being able to run whenever and wherever she wants to 🙂
Way to go Missy! She is experiencing her Chimpanzee-ness to the Max! Thank you Guys for making this possible.
She’s a running machine!!!
Why run?
Just because she *can* 🙂
The song “Born Free” just popped into my head and now I’m crying tears of joy for all my friends. Thank you for this video.
It looked at one point like Annie cut her off to say “Wait a second. You WILL play with me some.”
The joy of being alive and FREE! You folks are awesome! Thank you for all you do for these chimps (and us).
Absolutely wonderful to see Missy runing free in the wind, in the outoors.
Obviously the cold does not bother them too much.
I’m amazed that JB could film all of that and not laugh at how joyously she runs. She runs because she can, and that gal doesn’t seem to want to stop! She must be the track and field star of the group.
That is one happy girl! Go for it, Missy!
