In the past, we’ve talked about how we occasionally mistake one chimpanzee for another at first glance. A great example of this is when we catch Missy doing a “fake Neggie.”
The other night I snapped a couple photos of Negra in her evening nest. The camera angle and Negra’s posture reminded me a little of a facial expression I’ve seen a lot with Jamie. Maybe if you squint and cross your eyes a bit, you too can see the similarities. I’m sure the more seasoned blog readers won’t be fooled one bit.

Jamie in a similar pose:
Looks as if Jamie is doing a Fake Neggie with that blanket over her head!! Negra looks as if she is deep thought. Did she receive her Night Bag yet? If not, I bet she was thinking (or day dreaming) about it!! ; )
It must be difficult to identify the chimps, especially from a far, in every situation. I don’t know how you do it.
