Flashes Of Fur

January 7, 2020 by Chad de Bree

It was a busy day in the Chimp House. We spent most of the morning cleaning up after Burrito’s super birthday bash yesterday, as well as training new interns enrolled in the Captive Care Certificate at Central Washington University.

When I found time to check in on the chimpanzees, it was almost difficult to find them. The Seven mostly kept close together the entire day, in nearly every hard to see spot in the nice, warm Playroom. It was almost like spotting glimpses of Sasquatch at the sanctuary. An arm here. A flash of fur there. A head poking out around the corner every so often.

Negra, on the other hand, is a tried and true type of person. She spent most of the day in her favorite spot in the Playroom soaking up as much sun as she could while waiting for caregivers to finish cleaning and preparing lunch.

Willy B also spent most of his day resting on one of his favorite benches in the Phase 1 area, waiting for the caregivers to finish cleaning and preparing lunch.

I did spot Honey B and Mave a couple of times out in the Chute area, but Honey B decided playing games of chase with me instead of allowing me to take photos (other than today’s main photo) was a better plan.

    I’m interested to know what kinds of enrichment the 3 new residents enjoy. How are they spending their time? I will be happy for them when they brave going outside, even if it won’t be until spring.

    Oh Neggie…You beautiful sweet girl…I’m a woman of a “certain age” myself, & the animals & I love snuggling under our big pile of warm, old cosy quilts against the bitter cold of the Midwest…There’s something so special & endearing about you…Like a favorite Auntie or Gramma…

    Beautiful pictures and fun post to read. I sent some blankets several years ago and will
    send some more soon. Nothing like a blanket to snuggle with in the winter. Each of my
    dogs does the same with theirs. Love the pictures of the chimps.
