Special and ordinary, all at once

May 28, 2020 by Anna

Sometimes morning patrols around Young’s Hill are busy! There are wild edible plants that need picking and territories that need to be checked up on. There’s something special about seeing the chimpanzees go on outdoor adventures, both together and apart, each with their own idea of how to spend the morning.

Young’s Hill will be featured on the Virtual Tour of the Chimp House auction item. Don’t forget to register for The Queen’s Brunch . Online auction bidding begins June 1st (this coming MONDAY!!).

    Do chimps mark territories like other animals do?

      Hi John – Chimps don’t conspicuously scent mark the way that dogs do, but there is evidence that chimps do pay particular attention to olfactory cues – perhaps places where chimps have urinated – when near the territory of neighboring communities.

    So in these times we need to follow the chimps’ example and go out in the sun and stretch out our legs and go for a walk. They are inspiring!

    Do you mow the lawn on Young’s Hill? Or do you just keep it long? Do the chimpanzees eat the grass?

      Hi Kristin – We try to mow everything near the fences and the building before fire season for extra protection but we leave some grass in the middle tall. The chimps love to eat spring grass.
