The chimpanzees welcomed in the first day of autumn with a breakfast forage on Young’s Hill complete with chimp approved weather – cool air and warm morning sun. Negra, in particular, was exceptionally active, climbing structures and venturing to parts of the hill that we don’t usually see her in. With each handful of food she found she would take the time to sit and enjoy it in the warm sun as she took in the view of her beloved valley below.
After all that activity, Negra came in for a well-deserved rest with the sun streaming into her nest and onto her belly. A day befitting the queen.
I wonder if she knows these days are numbered and is just taking advantage while she can?
No matter…. Any day Negra is on the hill its a good day.
Ah, the light is amazing, what beautiful pictures of a beautiful lady! Great job!
Great pictures of the lovely Queen Negra!
‘Negra Light’ on Young’s Hill!! So delighted to see her foraging about on such a beautiful day. Oh what I’d give to see her enjoying this sunny day. These photos are the next best thing to being there…..
Happy Autumn Everyone.
Nothing better that a nice nap after an afternoon of foraging.
Love you Negra .
