The Truth About Burrito

June 9, 2014 by Elizabeth

Burrito is a handsome guy. When you see a face like this:

you might think it belongs to a suave and dignified gentleman. But Burrito has a silly side. In fact, he’s all silly side. And he, like the rest of us, loves a good slinky.

    I have a question. How do chimpanzees maintain fingernail length? They always look so smooth and even in your pictures. Given my weekly manicure sessions, I wondering how they do it!

      Hi Pat. Some of the chimpanzees bite their nails, and their fingernails also break or wear down naturally.

    The TRUTH about Burrito is that BURRITO is my favorite male chimpanzee in USA <3
    I love, love, love, that beautiful face,,of his, his freckled snout, makes him recognizable,
    and there is something unique about his eyes, and his hands, that I can recognize immediately ..
    that pilo erect fur,, is always stunning,
    as is his unique bi- pedal swagger,, like he is King Kong,
    Plus, BURRITO has overcome many of his fears, with the help of Foxie who is always there to give him a re assurance hugs which encourage his courageous and brave efforts
    Burrito is valiant and stronger now, I'm so proud of him,
    I ve gotten to know him so well via CSNW blog posts, pics and videos..
    YES I LOVE BURRITO,, and I support Burrito by sending care packages of toys, blankets, etc
    and Nuts .com delivery's of delicious, fresh shelled nuts, dried fruit,
    and my most recent a 25 lbs box of jumbo shelled Peanuts + 2 lbs of Turkish Figs . . .
