Sharon Langone is sponsoring this day “in honour of my Dad, Robert Kelly! Happy Father’s Day, Dad!”
Thank you for celebrating the chimpanzees and your Dad on this special day, Sharon! We so appreciate you thinking of the chimps in this way.
Happy Father’s Day, Robert! The two chimpanzee men at the sanctuary, Burrito and Willy B, aren’t fathers, but we suspect they might have some suggestions on how to celebrate today:
Willy B taking in the great outdoors:
Being doted on by family and friends:
Napping in a sun puddle:
And Burrito, well, if you know Burrito you’ll know he thinks no day would possibly be complete without an abundance of #1) Food:
And #2) Being wild and laughing a lot:
Arlene and Michael says
What a great gift for your father Sharon. Thank you for sponsoring the Chimps today and Happy Father’s Day to him and all the dads out there!

What a thoughtful way to honor your Father, Sharon & be such a friend to the sanctuary & the ten beloved chimps, as well as the “Bovine Four,” that have such adorable faces…(They always make me smile)…
The sweet photo of “Mr. Melon Man” (he’s always so photogenic) is such a TREAT…I love it so much, I’d have it enlarged, professionally framed & hung above my bed… : )
Tobin says
These are all great photographs (mitigating factors: they include the visages of Willy, Mave and Burrito), but that top picture of Burrito is just pure delight. One can almost imagine him regaling a listener to a story: “Yep, I remember the first time J.B. thought he could match me in a game of tug-o-war…haw-haw-haw! Why, ya shoulda seen the look on his face the first time I gave the blanket a good yank!”
