Thanks again to Foxie’s friend Tracy Headley for sponsoring today, and to everyone sending happy wishes to the birthday girl. Foxie’s feeling the love.

Happy Birthday, Foxie!

Today was sponsored by Tracy Headley in honor of her Chimpanzee Pal, Foxie! Foxie turns 37 years old today, although she has the spirit of a juvenile chimpanzee! Despite all she has endured in life, she brings so much joy to those around her, human and non-human alike. All the primates here at CSNW are gearing up for a big celebration so be sure to tune in later today for photos of the festivities. Tracy, thank you so much for thinking of Foxie and for helping us provide all of the chimpanzees with a special day!
