Eat, Play, Love

February 18, 2020 by Chad de Bree

Burrito is really such a snow fiend. His first order of business for us today was to give him his pre-breakfast snow. When he gained access to the Greenhouse and Young’s Hill, he seemed unsure if he wanted to venture outside to collect his own snow.

He then thought of the most perfect plan. He can sit in the Greenhouse, and just have his human caregivers deliver him his post-breakfast snow. That way he had access to the outdoors, but the pesky wind would be blocked by the winter paneling, and he could enjoy.

Really though! He really loves snow.

Jamie, being the Boss, also wanted to partake on the snow harvesting the humans were doing for Burrito.

As usual, Negra decided to stay inside, nice and warm, under a blanket in the Playroom.

On the other side of the Chimp House, Honey B and Mave have been in super silly moods lately. They engaged in an intense play session with tons of laughing.

Willy B was not a fan of all the noise they were causing as he was trying to take his pre-lunch nap.

Luckily for him, Honey B and Mave stopped playing and began grooming.

It’s days like today when all the chimpanzees are happy, that my day feels complete and I have a constant smile on my face.

Today is for Dr. Jessica Mayhew!

February 18, 2020 by Katelyn

Today was sponsored by Alexandra Sacco in honor of Dr. Jessica Mayhew! Jessica (colloquially known around here at least, as “Mayhew” 🙂 ) is currently an Assistant Professor in Anthropology at Central Washington University where she also serves as Director of the Primate Behavior and Ecology Program. Not only is Jessica a dedicated advocate and mentor for so many students, many of whom serve as volunteers and interns here at the sanctuary, but she serves as a volunteer caregiver as well as a member of the sanctuary’s Board of Directors.

Alexandra shared this note about her gift today: “To an all around amazing person. Thank you for everything you do for all primates, including all the graduate students that are lucky enough to work with you!”

Alexandra, thanks so much for honoring Jessica today and making a difference in the chimps’ lives, just as she does!

Jessica, we’re incredibly lucky to have you as part of our chimp family and happy to get to celebrate you and your wonderfulness today!
