Little neighbors

September 16, 2015 by Anna

In preparation for today’s blog, I revisited a few of the past posts about the different types of fauna that the chimpanzees have experience with in the Cle Elum landscape. There are plenty of birds and insects to be seen. As well as some deer and the neighboring horses. Of course there is Ellie the elk. And let’s not forget about how hard life can be for a snake in a chimpanzee enclosure!

During the dry days of summer we often find little tree frogs hiding on the playroom caging we call the Barn Doors. web_frog1_barndoors_awphone

These doors are next to the garden so the chimpanzees can look out and see their plants growing. In this photo, the barn doors are to the right of Missy.

While the frogs may think they are safe from danger hiding on the dark caging, caregivers know better. Every morning during cleaning, we relocate these little guys to a safer spot, like this squash plant.

    Rescued a little brown froggy from above one of the barn door locks on Sunday. Just one wrong hop and he would have ended up in the playroom. Yikes.

    That cute frog is in fact a Pacific Tree Frog . Very common on the West Coast and Washington’s state frog! How lovely that you endure their safety..

      I knew someone would be experienced with frog identification. Thanks for the info!
