The continuing adventures of Negra Chimpanzee

May 17, 2016 by Anna

Just off to the side of the newest Young’s Hill structure (aptly named “Twister”) lies another “garden” mound of prickly lettuce. As caregivers searched to identify all seven chimpanzees so we could safely enter and clean the chimpanzee-free front rooms this morning, this is where we found Negra! It’s the farthest I have yet to see Negra travel on Young’s Hill (in my first year of employment at the sanctuary) and it’s pretty amazing to see this homebody continue to throw off her blankets and go just a little deeper into her 2 acres of green.
