If you’ve liked us on Facebook, you’ve probably seen some posts recently about Foxie’s reaction to the new GoPro camera in news articles around the world. Today, the article was posted on Huffington Post. (Click the link to go to the article).
Just to correct a misunderstanding—Foxie does still love trolls and other dolls (like Dora!) but she is not still carrying around Trixie, her original troll. She will sometimes find a troll or doll that she likes enough to carry around for a few days, but not much longer than that. (Also, as many of you know, the chimps were rescued close to four years ago—not just last year like that article says. However, it wasย just last year that they were given access to a 2-acre habitat of relative freedom).
In this picture, Foxie’s got her tongue out, and both a troll and Dora doll in her hand.

Wow, what a photo of Foxie on the Take Part site (which is where you go when you click on the link in the Huffington Post article.) Not the most flattering of photos for Foxie, however, despite that and the incorrect facts (the chimps were not rescued last year, we all know), I think it’s great that Foxie’s silliness catapulted Chimp Sanctuary NW onto THREE more news websites. The more people who know about you, the better it is, and the better it is to bring the plight of Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act.
Way to go Foxie!

We know that she likes Troll’s and Dora. Does she like Barbies ?
Debbie says
Kathy, we’ve had some barbie dolls in the enrichment before but Foxie hasn’t really taken to them as much as trolls or Dora dolls. I’m not sure why!

Foxie is no dumb lady, I’m sure she recognizes that Barbie’s figure doesn’t belong on anything remotely real. ๐
Nancy says
Foxie likes Dora because she is the explorer! Barbie is…. well barbie ๐
