January 7, 2019 by Elizabeth

Every chimpanzee deserves a territory – a home space worth defending. One measure of welfare in a captive chimpanzee is whether they demonstrate territorial behavior. If they take ownership over their home, that’s a sign that they consider it home.

Here at the sanctuary, boss Jamie does the work of defending her family’s home. Every day, often multiple times a day, in all weather conditions, day and night, Jamie takes perimeter walks around the two-acre outdoor habitat to make sure everything is on the up and up. Sometimes she brings friends, and sometimes she goes it alone.

    I think that Ellie feels secure that Jamie keeps watch over her land.

    With land so incredibly exquisite, I can see why Jamie wants to patrol numerous times a day, 365 days a year. Jamie’s home is paradise!
