Snow

December 13, 2012 by Debbie

With winter at the sanctuary comes snow, though this year there really hasn’t been much so far. I don’t want to jinx it, but we have only had a few days of snow fall and not much has accumulated at all. But fresh snow is a delicacy for chimpanzees! A few days ago after one of the snow falls, Diana, JB, and volunteers Connie and Lynn collected a some snow and incorporated it into a forage for the chimps. We have been lucky so far to have some really nice days, but even on the colder days we make the best of what nature hands us. I still will never forget when the chimpanzees had their first snow experience, for some probably the first time in their lives! Thankfully even though this is the fifth winter for the Cle Elum Seven, they still get excited about snow and will food grunt happily to get to taste some. Here’s some pictures from the forage I mentioned:
