Dreaming of Cooler Times

June 23, 2020 by Chad de Bree

With another hot, summer day, there was very little activity to be had to try to escape the heat. Early in the morning, the Group of Seven were given access to Young’s Hill, with Burrito leading the charge.

Negra however, decided to stay in the shady Greenhouse to escape the morning sun with a yellow-haired Troll Doll. None of the other chimpanzees stayed out for long, with Jody being the first to retreat back to the Greenhouse.

In one of the few instances where the clouds decided to provide some much needed relief, Jamie politely asked me to join her on a walk around Young’s Hill. Ok. She may have demanded it since it was one of the few instances she felt decent to go out. Missy (not pictured because she zoomed right passed us), Foxie, and Burrito also decided to join us.

After our walk, Foxie decided to follow Negra, Jody, and Annie’s lead by resting in the cool front rooms. Notice her Orange Blossom doll also snuggled in for an afternoon nap.

The Californian Three also had similar ideas. For the most part, they also decided to stay inside. Willy B did venture out into the Courtyard, but not for too long. Mave decided to just stay inside.

Willy B also found a new use for an old enrichment item. Both groups of chimpanzees share a large, stuffed dog that makes it’s way to both sides of the building after being washed.

Willy B decided this stuffed dog was his new bed.

It was only a few short months ago, Katelyn reported on how paired swallows started to nest. Now that summer is here, their babies have hatched and they have been helping keeping the sanctuary safe by being on guard. Even keeping us caregivers on our toes at times.

    Have you had a cooler of ice for the chimps to enjoy outdoor?

    omigosh, Foxie’s doll has been in peril too often! She’s gone gray!
    Thanks, Chad. Sad that Neggie wasn’t up to it, I like to see her enjoying the hill.

    Do you ever worry about them getting ticks?

    Nice knowing Negra had her yellow haired Troll with her so she wasn’t alone while she waited for the others to return. Willy B repurposing the big stuffed dog for a bed is hilarious, brilliant too, but I definitely let out a howl when I saw his photo. He’s too much.

    The big dog is adorable and how smart of him to use it as a bed. It’s just perfect for soft comfort. These chimps never cease to amaze me how smart they are.
