Peaceful moments with new friends

July 8, 2021 by Anna

To protect all the chimps’ health, the sanctuary staff have been continuing to switch off with who spends their mornings working with the newcomers in quarantine.  Each day we share notes on any novel behaviors we witness so we can all get a better picture of our new friends. It’s been a delight hearing updates from coworkers as the shyer chimps start to come out of their shells and we learn more about their individual personalities.

Yesterday was my chance to clean and serve in the quarantine area. I grabbed a camera after the chimps’ lunch and took advantage of a peaceful moment in the new greenhouses.

It’s hard to get any photos without Terry in them. This guy is all charisma.

    Wow, Great pictures. It’s so fun to get to know the new kids.
    And that Terry is a real heartbreaker 🙂

    Beautiful photos Anna. Can’t get enough of these glimpses and stories introducing us to all of these new personalities.

    Great phots as always Anna. Do the Lucky Six and the Californians get night bags? It will be lovely to learn all about their favourite foods and enrichment….they certainly look in better condition than the Cle Elum seven did when they arrived, and it’s only going to get better with such wonderful conditions and excellent TLC.

      The Californians do, so I’m sure the Lucky 6 must, as well

    Hi, Anna!
    Thanks for the pics!
    As someone else mentioned, that pic of Terry looking up is great! While he looks a lot like Mave, something about his eyes on that pic reminds me of Burrito!

    Looks as if you had a perfect day working with the newcomers in quarantine yesterday. But how do you get any work done Anna? I’d want to be playing, spying, and photographing all day long! I’d be putty in Terry’s hands.

    I wonder if (the obviously photogenic) Terry and his buds like to see pictures of themselves? I hope so. I thought that the photograph in yesterday blog of Rayne sitting upon the log evoked a sense of confidence and contentment in her new home.
