The many uses of enrichment

October 11, 2017 by Anna

The chimps are not known for being gentle with the enrichment they receive. Many of the toys they get each day have a primary use (to be examined and played with) and a secondary use (to be destroyed by any means possible). I imagine there’s something pretty enjoyable about making a huge pile of fun destruction and then have housekeeping come in every morning so you can do it all over again.

Happy Birthday, Vicki!

October 11, 2017 by Diana

We are sending birthday wishes to a very special person today.

Happy Birthday to Vicki Fagerlee, one of our favorite visitors, from all the chimps (and your loving family)!

Thanks to Vicki’s (human) family, Jim, Kim, and family for sponsoring the day in her honor!

 

May you take some time to rest, like Annie:

 

play, like Burrito:

 

spend some time with a loved one, like Foxie and Jamie:

enjoy a treat (or three), like Jody:

have an adventure, like Missy:

and end your day as comfortably as you began it, like Negra:
