It can be a challenge to get photos of the chimps this time of the year. When it’s as cold as it has been, the chimps tend to hunker down and make themselves comfortable throughout the indoor enclosures. Often times, that means they are out of our sight, other than a foot or hand, or some other various body part. So, I consider it a success when I can get some photos, especially closeups, to share on the blog, because who doesn’t like looking at these chimps?

Hi Jo. Good eyes! We are not sure what happened to Negra’s ear. Mostly likely an injury during her time spent in the lab.
Jo says
I figured as much! It makes me so happy to know they are no longer subjected to the lab!!! They are lucky chimps to have found their way to CSNW and it really does make my heart SING!! Thank you for all your good work!

The chimps are a wonderful subject but the photographer is exceptionally talented and, more importantly, attuned to each individuals personality. Thanks for sharing this gift!
