One of the chimpanzees’ front rooms was closed off for maintenance recently. For seven straight days, the chimps watched as Co-Directors J.B. and Diana stripped the walls and gave the room a facelift. Most of the chimps took it in stride, but boss Jamie is always very interested when maintenance is happening, and she did not appreciate being locked out of the room (on principle only – it’s not a room where Jamie chooses to spend any significant amount of time). Because chimps are very strong and very destructive, any maintenance done to their enclosures has to be chimp-proof. Jamie, especially, can always be relied upon to point out any flaws in workmanship.
Jamie Tries to Undo the Humans’ Hard Work: A Photo Essay
It’s always nice to see Negra playing. Thanks for the video.
Ellie is so lucky to have Burrito and Co. as neighbors!
It’s always nice to see Ellie and the other wildlife that visit.
Ha-ha! Yes, theirs are the very faces of innocence…at least when they picture was taken….
Ellie!!! Always cracks me up to see Ellie walk right up, close and personal, to you all. The Elk that thinks she’s a human, or a chimp? ????. After watching this video there is no doubt — Sanctuary is Paradise.
oh my goodness that last photo is priceless!
very nice!
Oh my, what a grumpy face in the last picture. Apparently change is not good for Jamie.
Hahaha! I love the “on principle only”
This reminds me of my two rescue parrots.
I have to cover everything they’re on with towels to protect from their chewing.
More than once I’ve said “And THIS is why Mommy can’t have nice things!”
(I’d have better luck of them taking me seriously if they’d stop making me laugh with the Who me? looks)
Jamie and Burrito are hysterical. I could watch them all day long no matter what they were doing, be it good things or getting into mischief!! Haha
