The calm before a storm

July 19, 2016 by Anna

As I write this blog, lightning is flashing and thunder rolling along the surrounding mountains near the sanctuary. Jamie of course, has convinced staff member Katelyn that this is the best possible time to go for a fast walk around Young’s Hill before the rain really hits.

This cooler weather made for a nice afternoon lunch forage (earlier before the storm hit). All the chimpanzees ventured out onto Young’s Hill to collect fresh garden lettuce, snap peas and broccoli (not everyone made themselves available for decent photos).

*Don’t worry about Jamie and her accompanying caregivers, they took a quick walk and made it safely indoors as I finish up this post!

    It fills my heart with joy to see these chimpanzees being cared for with such love, compassion, and respect. Thank you so much for being their caregivers. If only all who come into contact with chimpanzees could share your attitude and intention.

    Hm, is Foxie part Chimp, part Bonobo? Her legs seem a bit long for a Chimp. That, her slim build, and she is friends with everyone. Could she be?

    Every time we see the chimps on the hill, we get goose bumps! It is the single most liberating project at the sanctuary which has allowed and encouraged every chimp to grow in ways we never thought possible. You have done an amazing job with adding structures that the chimps love to use. Thanks for all that you do for these lucky captive chimps, the Cle Elum 7!
