Intern caregiver Grace came up with this cool new enrichment puzzle for the chimps! This bag was originally a slow feeder bag for horses, but to make it into a chimp puzzle, we added fresh vegetables (in addition to hay), locked it closed, and hung it on Young’s Hill! Thanks to Grace for her brilliant idea, our supporters for purchasing everything we ever dream up on our Amazon Wish list, and JB for making it all come together today!

Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary for primates.
Hear, hear! They are all works of art and wonder.
Grace, this idea is pure genius! Love it, and it appears to be challenging too. And I have no idea how J.B. manages to make everything chimp-proof, genius as usual! Kudos to Jody for discovering the tomatoes, green onions and hay. Jamie looked as if she scored too. But did Missy find any tomatoes?! (Clearly Jody was enrichment enough for Burrito! 😉)
Oh that was so lovely, thank you. Negra savors her juicy fruit and I savor every second as I watch her. I swear my heart beats faster when I see Negra. Precious beyond words.
Loved the video! The beautiful Queen Negra really enjoys her fruit!
