For the thrill of it

April 10, 2018 by Anna

When Jamie decides she wants to go for a walk with a caregiver, there is almost always one chimp that decides to join the hike. Quite often, it’s Missy, but it isn’t always so obvious at first. Instead of following close behind, Missy makes sure to give Jamie a big head start so she can properly race to catch up.

Missy finds so much happiness in simply running as fast as she can, it’s hard to imagine her previous life spent warehoused in a basement.

    Your beautiful site popped up on my computer after I started following Project Chimps in Georgia. I love what you are doing for these amazing creatures. I look forward to seeing updates. Thank you for giving these beautiful chimps a forever home.
