Burrito is pretty irresistible. He also tends to be a bit shy at times. When he is feeling playful he will often initiate play with his caregivers by biting on a toy or a firehouse as he shyly looks in our direction. If he is feeling particularly playful he will add a foot stomp and a head nod in for good measure. One of my favorite moments is when I go out to the greenhouse to see what the chimps are up to and upon first sight, Burrito grabs something to bite on, stomps his foot at me and takes off running for a game of chase, laughing all the way.

You captured some lovely photos of Burrito..
He is so handsome.
Its about that face…
Look at him ,,, how can ya not love that face!
I love anything Burrito does. He certainly knows how to get everyone’s attention. I have tracked back to early Burrito moments, wow, what a transformation ,, in just the 15mos Ive been following CSNW chimps Burrito has conquered fears, overcome insecurities, developed such a stronger sense of self and confidence, he is braver, he’s just become far more pronounced in his entire tone of being,., wow, he has made such tremendous progress. All the CE Lady Chimps ,, have given Burrito so many re assurance hugs. especially, Foxie ! Its what I love most about this troop of chimps, its how they LOVE and SUPPORT and RE ASSURE HUG each other ,, although, they do have conflicts ever now and then, they truly and genuinely, care and love one another.
They share so much history together, its incredible.
