Foxie started the troll doll trend years ago, and no one has ever matched her passion for the odd little toys. Occasionally, we do find some of the other chimps with a secret friend hanging out around them.
This afternoon, Negra lounged in the greenhouse with a brightly colored fellow tucked in her pelvic pocket:
Beautiful Negra. What an adorable image. I love seeing pictures of the chimpanzees expressing affection, even to an inanimate object.
Good afternoon Tobin…I also get much enjoyment seeing the Chimpanzees showing any kind of affection & playfulness…It fills me up with so much pure & genuine happiness…What affects me the most though is when they show affection for each other…I get tears in my eyes every single time…
I guess like most people who follow these magnificent animals on a regular basis, I often wonder if they still carry any of the trauma from their unimaginable lives before their being rescued & ultimately given the best lives possible for captive Great Apes????
Lovely seeing Negra finding a little bit of comfort with her pink haired friend. And sweet seeing Jody resting close by, so it looks as if Negra has two good friends to nest with today.
So awesome!
