In Search of The Perfect Snow to Eat

January 18, 2015 by Keri

It didn’t take long for the chimpanzees to make their way outside today once the sun came out. Jamie, Jody, Annie, Missy, Foxie and Burrito all made their way onto Young’s Hill. While Jamie continued on to do her first perimeter walk around the hill, the other chimpanzees were more focused on eating the pieces of crusty snow they found. Missy seemed to be on a mission to find the perfect piece.

Missy took her time making her way across the logs, eating chunks of crusty snow along the way.

Then she moved on to Negra’s cabin in search of more pieces. Of course, as many of you know by now, Missy has a knack for climbing. She climbed up one of the posts and made her way up to the roof of the cabin.

Lo and behold, there it was, another big piece.

She took her time enjoying the morsel, taking in the scenery and scoping out where to find the next piece.

When she finished, she climbed onto the roof of the cabin and then proceeded to check for more crusty snow chunks on the other side.

After that, she continued up to the top of the cabin.

    Hi Guys, I hope you guys are having a good new year so far. I am thinking about you guys a lot lately. I hope you guys start a program for people who want to come up for a week and volunteer maybe quarterly or bi-weekly. I hope you guys do something like that. Please think about it. I will clean poop. I do not care. 😀
