Finally, the official end to winter is upon us and the first day of spring arrives tomorrow! The chimpanzees have been very quiet today and have spent most of the day lounging in the warm greenhouse and playroom, in between “sun showers” and brief runs on Young’s Hill. There has been a lot of grooming with each other and their caregivers, stretching out lazily in cozy nests, and just gazing out the windows. Jamie, of course, has still managed to get several walks around the hill in with her caregivers. In between projects of her own making she has also successfully managed to keep track of everyone else and what we are all doing. It’s hard work being the boss. But her ability to pull it all off as only Jamie can is never questioned.
I can’t wait to see what another spring in sanctuary brings for the chimpanzees and their lives. Something tells me it’s going to bring even more forms of growth and renewal for them.
This is a fantastic picture of the Genius!
You guys have done a great job, They look really good. When you guys first got them, they looked like were not going too make it. Now they all look beautiful and look like chimpanzees again. It is because they are around one another, love, proper medical care, and most of all diet and nutrition. I love the NW seven.
She’s a piece of work!
Always impressed on how photogenic Jamie is.
