Meals at the sanctuary, as you might expect, are pretty exciting events. There is usually a fair amount of jostling, and banging going on (especially by the boisterous Burrito chimpanzee), and of course, boss Jamie is always on hand to make sure caregivers (and sometimes the other chimpanzees) remember their place at the bottom of the hierarchy. Missy in particular, seems to prefer to escape the commotion of meals. While many of the other chimps will wait and eat expectantly in front of their server, Missy often whisks her portions away to a quiet nest so she can enjoy them in privacy.

Aahhh, but I think I see Missy’s brilliant plan in this. If she gets a little bit of exercise in between each portion it keeps her slim and athletic! Ingenious right?!
Francoise says
Missy shows more restraint than I often can when I’m hungry. She must truly like to eat in peace, with a nice view, too. My kind of girl.
