What’s in a wadge?

July 10, 2018 by Anna

The chimpanzees all enjoy wadging fibrous materials in their bottom lips. When something is too tough or dry to eat, but has some flavor left in it, they make a chewed up ball by adding water and sucking out the juices through their teeth. It’s got to be pretty relaxing to finish a meal and kick back with a nice wadge.

Here are just a few popular wadging materials:
Bamboo (Annie):

Alfalfa cubes (Burrito):

Primate chow (Foxie):

Corn cob (Negra):

Pine needles (Jody):

Pineapple peel (Jamie):

Chow bag paper (Missy):
