Not Funny

December 1, 2013 by Lisa

It’s days like today, when it’s pouring down rain relentlessly upon our heads, that being a chimpanzee caregiver can become even more challenging than it already is. Just imagine trying to keep otherwise generally active chimpanzees entertained when the weather isn’t cooperating!

As you can see here, the weather definitely didn’t feel like cooperating today. This is what Young’s Hill looks like this afternoon:

While many of the chimpanzees have taken advantage of the weather to engage in some indoor shenanigans others, like Jamie, are not having any of it. Here you can see Foxie & Negra playing while Jamie looks on:

Some days weather is just too much to overcome. I think, perhaps, Jamie’s having one of those days.

Video of Burrito thanks to Diana P.

December 1, 2013 by Diana

Diana P.  just became a Holiday Pal to all seven chimpanzees by taking advantage of our Candy Cane Weekend deal and donating $1500 towards our Holiday Pal fundraising! Thanks to her donation and the donations from the awesome supporters yesterday, we are freeing the blog and the Burrito video is posted below.

Don’t forget that you have until tomorrow (Monday) night at midnight to take advantage of becoming  an Alpha Pal to all seven chimpanzees at the discounted $1500 donation (normally $1680), or getting a bonus 2014 calendar for choosing the Best Friends Pal level of sponsorship. Donate now!

Without further ado, here is the always charming, Burrito Chimpanzee.

You may know from past blog posts that Burrito really enjoys popper toys, like these:

The other day we put out a new donated toy that has “bed bugs” that pop up when you push down on others. Burrito carried it around with him all morning, occasionally stopping to push and pull on the bed bugs.

See video below, and thanks again to all who participated in the Holiday Pal fundraising ransom donations!
