Jody has earned the nickname “Farmer Jo” due to her endearing habit during forages of collecting as much food as she can possibly hold and then hobbling bipedally down to the greenhouse to enjoy her spoils. She was very happy with the carrots, beets, and corn that volunteer Patti brought for lunch today.
Thank you Patti for bringing so much joy to Jody!
Ever thought of leaving a basket out with the forage to see if Jody uses it? Now that would be cool. Or maybe it’s too anthropomorphic although no more than wearing headbands or boots, I suppose. Cheers! Always love your posts.
Hi Francoise! There are usually various containers included in the chimps’ daily enrichment. As far as I know, Jamie is the only person we’ve seen using one to collect food. 🙂
I love seeing Jody when she has her lower lip drop; I know that she is one happy chimpanzee. But that last picture — it melts my heart. What a beautiful face.
