Roses with dessert!

February 15, 2017 by Anna

Before caregivers close the chimp house each evening, we make sure to hand out or set up an evening puzzle for the chimps to work on. Yesterday, as the chimps came forward to get their peanut butter/banana filled PVC tubes, they each were offered a fresh Valentine’s Day rose to go with their puzzle.

Annie:

Chimpanzees appreciate roses in their own unique way..

Missy:

Several members of the Cle Elum 7, discovered a practical tool to scrape out the delicious contents of their treat tubes.

Clever Missy:

    What a beautiful way to end their Valentines’ Day. I am so thankful that they have such amazing caregivers. Yes that picture of Annie with the rose is remarkable. I think I will have to print it and frame it! Hope you all had a lovely Happy Valentine’s Day?
