The Peanut Puzzle

March 19, 2021 by J.B.

It took Honey B a few attempts to find the right strategy for this puzzle but she got there. The most clever – but ultimately unsuccessful – strategy was to hand everything through the food chute to a human. “Humans are good at this stuff,” she seemed to be saying. Either that or “You put it in here, you get it out!” But she didn’t need our help after all.

    I admire Honey B for being so determined to get the peanut. I would have given up.

    Now is that charming or what?!!! Of course she got it, probably better than I would have at the end of a Friday! Clever woman that she is…Thank you, JB, for sharing this peanut treat with us.

      I couldn’t figure out if it was a grunt or a “dinosaur devours” growl, lol!

    Ha ha! Your description was fabulous. Honey B’s concentration is razor sharp and I totally understood that frustrated shake-the-heck-out-of-it attempt. Patience is a virtue, well done Honey B. I also enjoyed simply looking at her face. As Chad or Anthony pointed out in a past blog, Honey B’s pink eyelids add an extra delicate touch of beauty to her already lovely features.

    I would give anything to see the point where she asks you for help! That was probably very endearing!

    Watching her face was as great a treat for me as getting the peanut was for Honey B. Amazing determination lady Honey B. Thanks J.B. 🙂

    Honey B uses her fingers AND her toes AND the proper tool for the job. So much for us humans thinking we’re so capable!

    That was pretty cute. Those chimps are full of surprises sometimes and highly intelligent. Thank You.

    Loved the part where she shook the heck outta the dang thing.

    This my warm feeling for Saturday. Such a delight to see her retreated her peanut. Wonder how people can you these wonderful chimps for experiments.
