Venturing Out

February 13, 2014 by Elizabeth

Before the chimpanzees go out onto Young’s Hill, they’ll sometimes stand at the door and contemplate for a moment. I often wonder what they’re thinking during this pause in their busy day. Considering that they spent the first few decades of their lives in tiny cages barely bigger than their bodies, I like to think they’re taking a moment to relish two acres of possibility.

Today the ground is wet from the melting snow, so Missy’s excursions outside were brief and purposeful.
