Naps vs. Exercise

September 22, 2015 by Anna

As caregivers, we love to see the chimpanzees doing an activity. We try and provide them with enriching toys, food, and other things to bring something new and exciting into their lives. Like Elizabeth said yesterday, Jamie is always looking for something to do and we do our best to satisfy her. The rest of the Cle Elum 7 aren’t quite as restless as Jamie. They spend a great deal of their day napping, rather than traveling and foraging like they might do in the wild.

While it is lovely to see a photo like this of Annie lounging on a comfy blanket in the playroom…

It is even more exciting for us to see her out on Young’s Hill, foraging, climbing, and taking in nature…

But part of being in a sanctuary, is that the chimpanzees get to choose how and where they spend their day. And today, Annie gets to take naps, pick bamboo, and be with other chimpanzees.

    Inside or outside, amongst the bamboo or eating the bamboo on your back from your cozy nest, CSNW provides the best environment possible for a captive chimpanzee! Annie is very fortunate indeed.
