When She Says Jump

July 8, 2018 by Kelsi

Jamie is truly an amazing person, there is a lot to her. She is always surprising us, for being a more “serious chimp” a lot of the time, I kept catching her doing silly little things throughout today. For example, we had a donor visitor group this afternoon, during which she proceeded to make each visitor try on her favorite boot. (This is not something she normally does. Normally Jamie might give them some attention, look at some shoes, and then get back to foraging.) I never know what to expect from her, which is the best part about her! But, what I can usually expect is a fierce and fearless Jamie.

Jamie wearing her boot and foraging for nuts:

Jamie was practicing her tight rope walking this morning (she picked a spot where it was hard to see her, so she could practice in private):

This is a photo of one of our visitors wearing Jamie’s favorite boots upon her request:

    Thank you Kelsi for all these photos. What a day. I would be honored to have Jamie ask me to wear her favorite boots. And I am happy to see Annie wearing her head band still! We need a photo of Missy with her sock on. How is it you have the most stylin’ chimps at CSNW.

    I am always amazed by the beauty of the chimpanzees. Jamie, in particular, has a grin on her face as beguling as the Mona Lisa’s.
