The Queen Needs Her Rest

January 25, 2018 by Elizabeth

We give the chimpanzees 70 clean blankets each day. I wouldn’t be surprised if Negra claims over half of those for herself. One of the perks of being the Queen…

    It is good to that Negra “appears” to be relaxed and comfortable. Yet, I wonder about the state of her health. After all that she has been through, I can understand that she requires a lot of healing. I only hope that she can allow the veterinarian to attend to her. I love her and her neighbors dearly…

    Great folding arms photos Great idea too to compile such a collection. It amazes me how you peope come up with so many different idea not just in entertainment (enrichment) but in photography My favorite video was the Christmas Day opening microsecond of the chimps all looking at the party room as you guys were setting up. Just like little kids. It was priceless

    Ah, so they do cover themselves routinely with blankets in their bedding?

    • Elizabeth says

      Hi Gabi – It comes down to personal preference. Negra loves to cover herself with blankets, and Jamie and Missy do it sometimes too. Some of the other chimps prefer to lie on top of their blankets, while Foxie prefers no blankets at all.
