A Morning of Play

March 15, 2015 by Keri

All of the chimpanzees have been in a playful mood today despite the rain. Shortly after arriving this morning, I spotted Missy and Annie playing chase in the loft and along the catwalk areas of the playroom. I could hear the echos of them foot stomping on the floor and their breathy pants (laughter) as they chased each other back and forth. Then I caught a glimpse of Burrito and Foxie playing chase between the playroom and front room areas. I watched for a bit, while still listening to the echos of foot stomps coming from the loft area. I thought Missy and Annie were still playing chase, but these stomps and laughter weren’t coming from the two of them. Instead, they were coming from Negra and Jody who were also busy playing on the catwalk.

It’s always nice to see Negra in a playful mood. She was also very excited for the kale forage we put in the playroom after cleaning.

    Seeing Negra and Jody play is the perfect ending to my day! Looks more like Negra is trapping Jody so she can’t pass, giving Negra time to tickle.

    What is floating on top of Negra’s water bottle…… ice….. Kale? She is doing her best to fish it out.

      Hi Kathleen. Good eye. We put pieces of kale in various containers as part of the forage.

    Hi!
    I can’t find my post or the reply that I sent last year asking if it was ok to use photos from the blog as references for paintings.
    Someone replied that it was ok and that I could donate a painting for one of your auctions.
    Well, I’ve finally finished a painting and would like to donate it.
    Could someone reply with contact info?
    Thanks!
    Cheryl
