Winter’s morning light

March 4, 2015 by Katelyn

Our days here at the sanctuary couldn’t be sunnier or brighter. But Lady Winter is still reminding us she’s around for a little while longer with some extra cold temperatures during the night this week. If the temperature is predicted to drop below 20 degrees, we close off the greenhouse before we leave at night just to help conserve heat in the chimp house. With the mild winter we’ve been experiencing we haven’t had to close it very often this year, but this week has been in the teens at night. The chimpanzees wouldn’t be out there in such temperatures anyway, but this morning when we opened it up again during breakfast they were particularly excited.

The door to Young’s Hill was already open for them and the chimps decided to take their chow bags to go after breakfast and raced outside into the chilly morning. Well, Negra wasn’t about to race outside, but she did run up and peek out the door with a hopeful look on her face so it was a bit like our version of Groundhog’s Day, Negra style. Everyone else quickly came back and chose to sit in the raceway to Young’s Hill together where they could enjoy their chow with the sun on their faces.

This is often a favorite spot of Negra’s where she can luxuriate in the morning sun streaming into the greenhouse and this morning she seemed particularly happy:

Annie looked so serene as she enjoyed the sun coming up over Young’s Hill and spilling into the raceway:

Jody was one of the first onto the hill and enjoyed the sun on her shoulders and the view of the valley as she ate her chow:

Today is in memory of George Hendry

March 4, 2015 by Katelyn

Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Pat Cattolico, in memory of her father, George S. Hendry. Pat is a long-time supporter and friend of the chimpanzees and shared the following message: “This day is in memory of my Dad. He loved and respected animals, and I learned that from him.” 

Pat, thank you so much for all that you do to contribute to the chimpanzees’ lives. Your support and dedication to their well-being means so much to us. What a wonderful gift of compassion your Dad shared with you and we are honored that you would share your special memories of him with the chimpanzees today.
