Some people are known for being adventurous, curious, open to new experiences. Negra is not one of these people. Negra is an old lady who is stuck in her ways, and she loves her ways, thank you very much. Her ways include curling up with a pile of blankets and napping the day away. She doesn’t like interruptions, delays, inconveniences of any kind.
Negra is not the outdoorsy type. She likes the comforts of home, and to her, home is the indoor playroom of the chimp house. She rarely ventures outside unless the conditions are just right: perfect weather, delicious food. Luckily, the conditions were ideal this morning. The weather in Cle Elum today could not be more beautiful – warm temperatures, light breezes – so we scattered a breakfast forage on Young’s Hill. Not only did Negra go outside, she led the rest of the group out the door.
