Waiting for the rain to stop

May 13, 2015 by Katelyn

As is happening in many parts of the world, we’re have already been experiencing a dry start to the season. The past couple of days have brought much needed rain to the area and while the humans are thrilled, the chimp house has been particularly quiet today. In between rain showers, several of the chimpanzees have enjoyed quick jaunts around Young’s Hill while trying to avoid the tall, lush (but very wet) grass. They’ve been up for one lap at a time and then quickly return to the chimp house and tuck away in corners for a nap.

Missy has spent much of her time at the top of the greenhouse, her little runner’s legs stretched out before her, as she watched the rain fall over Young’s Hill from the comfort of her nest.

These feet!

Just waiting for that break between showers, she decided to make herself really cozy:

    The canines and humans in this household also watched and waited for the rain to subside.

    I feel like Missy whenever it rains.

    Wonderful blog. So sweet – she’s so patiently waiting … Her face says it all.

    I can only wonder — and despair — at how awful it must have been for Missy and the others, and all exploited chimpanzees still not rescued, to not have the comfort and security they find in their nests and tucked under the blankets. I know how I feel when I am in bed snuggled under the covers. What torture it must have been to not have that.
