Rayne Rayne Don’t Go Away

July 28, 2021 by Kelsi

I think many followers often wonder how we identify the chimps. It’s a fair question. Once you know them you will feel silly for ever having a hard time telling them apart. We obviously look at physical features, behavior, and even body language. For instance, when Foxie goes out onto Young’s Hill, even when she is far away I can see it’s her by the way she walks. She is quite stomp-y. I can also identify her by her sexual swelling that we describe as a bow tie at the end, her white beard, her tiny figure, the intensity in her eyes, and a very sassy personality. We can not go off of things like areas they commonly nest or if a particular chimp is holding a doll because we have fake Neggie’s among us and from time to time Jody carries a doll around. But for you viewers you only get photos and videos which can be hard. So I thought in this blog I would help you all identify a new member of ours, Rayne!

Rayne has kind and curious eyes, when you look into them you feel a sense of calm.

Rayne has a longer face and slender body. Rayne also has a white beard. She seems to have bigger ears than the others in her group and has a pronounced brow-ridge. Rayne also has a lack of freckles. Rayne’s forehead is also a little ashy, which we hope to be able to help with :).

Rayne also looks like Tatu. For those who do not know Tatu, she lives at the Fauna Foundation in Quebec Canada. Rayne and Tatu are also sisters! I worked with Tatu for many years and I see a lot of Tatu in Rayne.

Rayne’s sister Tatu knows sign language. Tatu is very articulate when she signs. Rayne’s long fingers remind me of Tatu’s.

I hope this helps everyone identify Rayne a little better!

Happy Birthday, Rachel!

July 28, 2021 by Katelyn

So many thanks to Rachel Ruggeri for sponsoring this lovely day of sanctuary as a way to celebrate her own special day!

“It’s my birthday on 7/28 and I want to celebrate the sanctuary and all that the staff and volunteers to to make the world a better place for the Chimpanzees and the Bovines! The idea of Sanctuary makes me feel hopeful and hope is the way I want to celebrate my year ahead. Cheers to 52 years!”

Happy Birthday, Rachel! It is so kind of you to allow us to celebrate your day with you! We’re truly grateful for the difference you have made, and continue to make, in all the chimpanzees’ and bovines’ lives. Between our wonderful growing sanctuary family I imagine we could get 52 hoots and moos and hoorays so we’ll imagine that heading your way, and may all the good fill your year ahead and beyond.
