Breakfast in the rain

March 15, 2013 by J.B.

Negra was enjoying this morning’s breakfast forage on the hill:

But she soon found herself caught in a spring rain shower, so she headed for the greenhouse and grabbed as much food as she could along the way:

Jody and Annie took their sweet time, since they were already hanging out in the cabin:

Even though the rain didn’t last very long, most of the chimps spent the day in the greenhouse, where they knew they would remain warm and dry. Burrito was kind enough to let me take some close up photos:

Jamie can’t sit still all day so she ventured out and made Diana walk a few laps around the perimeter of Young’s Hill with her. Every time Diana got back down to the building and thought she was done, there was Jamie waiting for her to go again. How could you say no to Jamie?

    Do most of the CE-7 comprehend that Negra’s Cabin can serve as shelter from the rain and that it can keep them fairly dry..

      I think they’re all just starting to figure that out. The problem is that they tend to want to stay together as a group when something frightening or unpleasant happens (and that includes rain), so until they ALL head into the cabin, they will probably keep going back to the greenhouse to be with the rest of the group.

      But I think they are really starting to understand that the cabin will protect them from the wind and that it will be dry inside even when it has rained or snowed overnight.

    Thanks J.B. for your reply. It makes perfect sense, safety in numbers!
    Its quite thrilling for us,, to watch, and read, videos and staff posts, re the chimps development and progress, Negras’ Cabin is an absolute delight,,
    I’ve been conducting my own, independent studying, about chimps..
    I watch allot of Dr.Jane Goodhall’s early years where she observed the Gombe chimps, we’ve all come to know by name,ie,Flo,Glitter,Fifi,Prof etc, I’ve noted, that quite often, the CE-7 behaviors are very much like wild chimps , re food begging,sharing or not
    comrades, allies, BFF’s,
    Alphas, and food. respect of hierarchy and position, alliances, tree TOP nesting positions, based upon that days conflicts vs peace,, Its all so VERY interesting,
    Chimpanzees are such amazing beings, and ever so precious, I’ve truly come to love and care about them all,,Thank You so much for being such good teachers and primatologists,
