Foxie loves mirrors and tends to immediately make funny faces at herself whenever she sees her reflection (one of my favorite videos of Foxie in a mirror is this one from 2009– check it out). She’s been particularly interested in mirrors lately because she has an injury on her forehead that she has been inspecting, so today I put out a few extra mirrors so she could check herself out if she wanted to. Not to my surprise, she did just that – only she wasn’t as interested in looking at her wound as she was making funny faces at herself.
Maybe she’s studying to be a dentist? 😉 She’s such a beautiful, but silly girl. <3 you foxie.
She is just amazing . I love her and all of them there.I just wish I lived closer to help out. God bless all of you.. Hugs, love and prayers to all of you.
It is so amazing that she knows that that is HER!! Animals are so smart!! What a sweet girl!
Thats my girl. Such a pretty gal. LOVE the last photo.
Foxie has always been one of the more expressive of the Seven. Wonderfully so.
Has Foxie ever seen herself full length in a mirror?

We do have a full length mirror that we have set up on the outside of the enclosure, plus there is a larger mirror in the playroom. I haven’t seen her spend much time in front of the mirror in the playroom that often, but check out these two blog posts from 2009: https://chimpsnw.org/2009/03/foxie-playing-in-the-mirror/ and https://chimpsnw.org/2009/03/foxie-playing-in-mirror-continued/ 🙂
The last photo is just perfect of her perfect face (all the photos are great, of course). What sort of injury does she have on her forehead?
Foxie has a large cut/gash on her left side of her forehead. If you closely look at the last photo, you can sort of see it. There was a fight a week or so ago and Foxie ended up getting hurt. She is the peacekeeper of the group, yet sometimes that puts her in harms way. She is getting much better though!
