Communicating about boots

January 16, 2018 by Anna

On most mornings, Jamie is the first chimpanzee the lead caregiver sees when they open up the human door leading from the kitchen to the hallway in front of the chimps’ enclosures. She is often in the loft overlooking the kitchen, and she has a simple goal in mind: make sure her caregiver puts on one of her boots. Lately she has been pretty specific about which boot she wants some of us to wear, so instead of stomping and gesturing at her boot collection located in the kitchen, she sends us a more obvious message.

    Oh what must it feel like to be in your shoes (or should I say boots!) and start your day by making Jamie so very happy?! Loved your little happy dance as much as Jamie did.
