The infectious joy of grabbing feet

March 27, 2018 by Anna

Last week after the chimps’ enjoyed a St. Patrick’s Day party in the greenhouse, Jamie and I went for a walk around Young’s Hill together. Like many of Jamie’s walks, this gives some of the other chimps an excuse to spend some more time outdoors as well. Missy was a bullet of energy, running around starting games of chase with Foxie and Annie. Her signature move of the day? The foot grab!
Missy going in for the “kill” on an unsuspecting Foxie:

Foxie chased Jamie down the hill making similar moves to grab Jamie’s feet:

Annie yanking her foot from Missy’s grasp:

    The last photograph provides an explanation as to why Annie’s hair seems to be in a recurrent state of pilo-erect anticipation. One just never knows when one’s foot will suddenly be in the grasp of Dr. Missy Chimpanzee, DVM, Veterinary Podiatrist-in-Residence!

    Hi Anna, your description “Missy was a bullet of energy” paints the perfect visual. I can see her now. Thanks for sharing the days shenanigans.
