When some of the chimps are feeling a bit silly and relaxed, they have this little routine they do where they lay on their back and flail their arms and legs in the air and side to side for a few seconds. It’s sort of like a shiver of joy, contentment and energy runs through them.
Here’s Foxie’s upside down moment she had this morning on Young’s Hill:
With that out of her system, Foxie and Dora continued their day together:
I “ground” by standing or doing yoga on the earth, but this is one I will try for sure!!! The wisdom of Chimps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs and love to you all…..
That is simply delightful and I love your phrase “a shiver of joy”, totally brought the photos to life. Isn’t it wonderful Foxie can feel and express this silly joy — thank you!
