Role Reversal

May 17, 2012 by Debbie

Jackie got some excellent footage of the chimps switching roles the other day. As many of you know, The Cle Elum Seven chimps all have unique personalities. Negra usually keeps to herself, is quiet, and likes to rest a lot. Missy is super playful, loves to run, and tries to get the other chimps to chase her. Foxie (not shown in this video) is a troll connoisseur. In this video, we see Negra initiating play, holding trolls, and stealing nests. Missy forgoes play with her best friend Annie in order to take a nap Neggie-style. Even though they all have their individual personalities, they definitely continue to surprise us!

    I think Negra is saying….”I don’t know what she see’s in these things!!” 🙂

    It is wonderful to see Negra participating in play, and also end up with the blankets!!

    I have watched this video over and over. I just love it. I also love hearing Jackie chuckle while she is filming. 🙂

    Wow, Negra was almost downright feisty! Must be the fresh air and all that spring grass she’s getting!
