A Chilly Fall Morning

October 25, 2015 by Whitney

It is a beautiful, chilly fall day here at the sanctuary, and the chimpanzees spent some time on Young’s Hill enjoying the crisp air. We have a lot of help with cleaning this morning, which means Jamie has many walking companions to choose from!

Here is Jamie on her second walk of the morning:

Jody also ventured out:

Missy and Annie spent a lot of time climbing on the hill, and then settled in the greenhouse to groom. Missy:

Annie (with Missy behind her):

I wonder if this view may be part of the reason why Jamie goes on so many walks:

Ah, fall!

    The view is beautiful. Do chimpanzees see color like we do?

    • Whitney Emge says

      Yes, chimpanzees also have color vision.

    It’s wonderful that the chimpanzees have such beautiful surroundings and people who take care of them so well

    How many acres are there on Youngs Hill? It looks beautiful, and way big enough for full open chimp running!!!

    • Whitney Emge says

      October 25, 2015 at 5:10 pm

      Young’s Hill is two acres.

    How does Jamie let you know who she wants to go around Young’s Hill with her ?

    • Whitney says

      October 25, 2015 at 5:26 pm

      Usually Jamie will wait for a caregiver to walk by and then stomp her foot to get their attention. Once she has the caregiver’s attention, she will gesture toward where we usually store the cowboy boots and she waits for the caregiver to model various boots before she walks over to the door to go out onto the hill!

    Ahhhh that beautiful view!!! That view would inspire anyone to walk around Young’s Hill.

    I wish were as flexible as Annie!
