There is nothing better than watching the chimpanzees go out for their first exploration of the day on Young’s Hill. Each new day in their outdoor enclosure is full of potential, and you can really sense the excitement that each chilly morning brings.
This time of year the chimps almost melt into the Autumn shadows as they explore the upper reaches of their home. For a little while after breakfast, I could only spot them by a rustle of tall sand colored grass and the shake of bamboo branch.
Eventually the chimps headed back inside to build nests and take their post-meal naps.
