full mouths, happy bellies

March 2, 2013 by Diana

We’ve been taken every opportunity with the not-bad weather to spread food over Young’s Hill so the chimpanzees can forage for their meals. They LOVE forages, and it’s nice to see them doing a little bit of what they would do if they lived in the wild. Of course, free-living chimpanzees rely on the bounty of nature to provide their meals. At the sanctuary, the Cle Elum Seven rely on the humans to provide their food. Their food squeaks and full mouths are an indication that we’re doing an okay job.

This morning we spread out a breakfast forage of strawberries, grapefruit, and chow biscuits.

Here’s Jamie collecting strawberries:

Annie put an impossible number of chow biscuits in her mouth, then attempted to also eat strawberries:
