The Path to a New Day

February 16, 2021 by Chad de Bree

As the snow continued to come down this morning as staff arrived, we were prepared for another snowy day.

A view of the Twister from the top of Young’s Hill covered in snow.

We were anticipating a full day of snow as the forecast had predicted. Luckily enough, we caught a break! By early afternoon, the sun broke free of it’s clouded prison and started to warm the cold air outside.

The sun allowed staff the perfect opportunity to shovel pathways to the structures on Young’s Hill, to give the chimpanzees the option for easier access to the hill.

Though the option was presented to them, they all decided to stay indoors or in the Greenhouse.

Burrito was ready to play chase with staff and waited patiently for us to get done cleaning.
Negra was just ready for dinner.

Mave spent a lot of time playing with huge strips of paper.

Once she noticed me, she stopped playing and decided to play it cool as though nothing was happening.

We consider ourselves very fortunate our residents are currently in their nests and about to go to sleep during this cold snap. However, Primarily Primates located in Texas is in need of local, emergency help. They have lost power and are currently trying evacuate some of their residents while trying to care for those still in place. If you live in the San Antonio, TX area or know someone who is, who can safely deliver some of these much needed items, please do if you can. As caregivers of some amazing individuals, our thoughts and hearts go out to Primarily Primates’ caregivers and their amazing residents during this difficult time.
