Rain

November 23, 2012 by J.B.

We’ve had a lot of rain at the sanctuary lately. We certainly need the rain, so I can’t complain, but the chimps are starting to remind me of myself when I was a kid and I couldn’t go out and play.

Today, when Burrito was outside in the rain, he made a face that we often see when the chimpanzees are uncomfortable. It’s close to what we would call a sneer but a sneer is usually seen more in fear or threat contexts. Burrito’s face says something more like “I know it won’t kill me but that doesn’t mean I have to like it.” Jody makes this face when she’s outside in the cold, and Annie often makes it when she has to walk through tall grass.

    It’s ok, Burrito – I hate going out in the rain too!

    Burrito has good reason to be afraid of going into the rain…….he’s soooooooo sweet and we all know sugar will melt if it gets wet! 🙂

    Oh, if they could mutter expletives, I bet Burrito would have some choice ones about that move!
