Negra isn’t featured on the blog as much as some of the other chimpanzees because she’s often not part of “the action” at the chimp house (unless it’s spring and she’s outside eating grass – we can’t wait for those days!).
Negra seems to prefer solo quiet time. She also spends a lot of her time high up where it’s not as easy to get good photos and video.
And she operates on her own schedule. While the rest of the group might eagerly line up by the raceway in the morning to get the first pick of the snow, Negra instead chooses to go back to bed.
But then, an hour or so later, we’ll see her with some snow of her own – maybe she ventured out and retrieved it herself, or many she convinced one of her friends to hand over some of their haul (she can be very convincing). Either way, she doesn’t miss out on what each day has to offer, she’s just on Negra Time.
Sweet to see lovely Negra, and that she’s also enjoying some snow. That bottom photo is an exquisite portrait! Pretty Lady!
Such a beautiful noble face…
I’m always so happy to see the beautiful Queen enjoying herself. Such a lovely face!
Any picture that shows Neggie’s cute belly is a great pic! It only gets better when it has sunflower seed shells on it!
Negra time is my favorite time. I would willingly hand over my haul with just a glance from Negra in my direction. Anything for our Queen!
Truly a classic beauty!! So lovely! Love and hugs to you all
Beautiful Negra! 🙂
