Most mornings at the sanctuary are filled with the raucous sounds of Burrito’s displaying. He seems to think that the mornings are the ideal time to rattle doors and chase the girls around the playroom. For a chimpanzee, especially a male chimpanzee, this is typical behavior. Some mornings are quieter than others though, and on these more peaceful mornings (or in breaks between Burrito’s whirlwind of chaos), caregivers get the chance to say proper hellos to the chimps.
Negra and volunteer caregiver Yuri:
Sooooooooooo sweet!! Lucky Yuri!!
So glad to see Yuri is still around and didn’t quit after getting a smoothie spit all over him on his first day there. That was one of the funniest pictures ever
Oh lucky Yuri! I would so enjoy waking up to little touch of Negra time. Look how pleased she is to be with her close friend. Sigh……
I am also laughing about Burrito. Why not wake up and celebrate your manhood every morning?! I remember past posts when you used to worry about Jamie’s mood as you entered the chimp house to start the day. They are just like us, some days are good…. some days, not so much.
