We try to use this blog to share meaningful stories about the Cle Elum Seven — what they went through during their time in laboratories or how they’re experiencing sanctuary — or to talk about some interesting aspect of chimpanzee behavior. But sometimes I’m just so astounded that we get to look at these faces every day that I have to share.
Here’s Foxie enjoying the last good bits of a pomegranate peel from this morning’s breakfast.
The title says it all. Thanks for all you do!
So beautiful!
The last pic is the BEST!
