    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

      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.
