The chimps celebrate Love a Chimpanzee Day!

April 23, 2020 by Anna

After yesterday’s light rainfall, Central Washington is positively bursting with green today! The majority of the deciduous trees seemed to unfurl their leaves overnight and I even got a whiff of cherry blossoms as I pulled into the parking lot this morning. This fresh wave of spring and a party for the chimps was the absolute best way to celebrate Love a Chimpanzee Day!

Over in the Phase 1 part of the building, Willy B, Mave and Honey B were treated to a special “Love a Chimpanzee” lunch that featured fresh coconut, an all time favorite! Honey B was seen cleverly stomping on her coconut chunk to get it to loosen up. For the 7 chimps on the other side of the building, watermelon bowls were a big hit on Young’s Hill and the most fun part of the day to photograph.

    As always, Love A Chimpanzee Day does not disappoint! Monica, thanks for bringing me so much joy today too. Foxie, Negra, Burrito, Annie, and three-fisted-Jamie (with watermelon spilling out from everywhere) all look over the moon with their watermelon, but yes, Jody’s expression is as good as it gets.
