New chimps also means a new routine. We are definitely trying to work out some kinks. Shifting can be hard when chimps don’t want to leave a room. Sometimes it means the humans clean until later in the day or if the chimps decide not to leave we can’t clean. Eventually, Dora’s group and Mave’s group will get into a new routine of shifting, but that probably won’t be this week ;). Today was no different, but we did get to clean Playroom 3, which feels like a win. So you might hear us say it was a busy day or today was crazy. What it really means is us humans are a little tired, but we got most of their areas clean. Also, have we mentioned how great our sixteen chimps are! I still can’t believe there are sixteen chimpanzees that get to call this place home! I couldn’t get photos of everyone today, but I was fortunate to get a few and have some kind caregivers share some of their photos with me.
Annie this morning looking over at the neighbors. I mean you have to keep an eye on the new guys, right?
This photo I captured last week and just wanted to share because it’s Burrito! How lucky are we to have this guy in our lives.

The ever so mischievous Honey B!
Jody also had to go spy on the neighbors this morning.
While cleaning Playroom 3 we found a grooming train! The Green House has so much vertical space, it really is amazing. In this photo you can see Gordo grooming Lucky and Lucky grooming Terry. Dora has a nice little nest on the other platform and if you look below, Rayne foraging for cherry tomatoes.
Look at this Mave!
After Rayne was done foraging in the Green House, she came up to say hi.
I can not get over how handsome Willy B is. No wonder Dora gets excited to see him.
