Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest

Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary for primates.

Morning Adventures and Afternoon Naps

by Chad de Bree

The staff will continue our positive reinforcement training this afternoon. But before we dive into our training, here are some photos of some chimpanzee adventures and naps.

Jody eating her breakfast clementine orange while looking out onto Young’s Hill.
Jody, Foxie (above) and Missy (below) take in this morning’s scenery from a platform after going out onto Young’s Hill.
Burrito later soon joined Foxie on the platform after Jody and Missy left.
Annie took some time for herself high above the bamboo on Young’s Hill. She later joined Missy and Jamie on a patrol around the parameter.
Foxie embraces one of her new Strawberry Shortcake dolls on the top platform in the Greenhouse.
Jamie embracing a cowboy boot while snoozing off. You may wonder why she doesn’t elect to lay down while taking her afternoon slumber. She is the boss you know and has to be ready to go at the drop of a hat. This photo was from yesterday, but Jamie is currently in this same position and I couldn’t get a better photo from today.

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite piece of art! The three designs with the most votes will win the People’s Choice awards! So be sure to vote before March 14th!

    I have a question about sweet Negra. Does she have a heart condition and if so, or if not, are you terribly concerned about her sedentary lifestyle? I certainly worry about mine (boo desk jobs) and I worry about hers too.

    Gorgeous pops of color in the photos of Foxie with the cranberry color in the dolls hair and Jody with the orange clementine and green feed bag. Frame worthy! Are you pulling our leg, was boot-hugging Jamie actually caught mid blink? If not, I think all the PRT is exhausting her. ; )
