Building friendships

September 16, 2021 by Anna

If you’ve been following along with our latest round of introductions, we’ve had some ups and downs in the process. Despite a few setbacks, the chimpanzees and their caregivers have bravely forged ahead, trying and retrying different small configurations of the groups so they can continue to build (or rebuild) relationships.

We continue the intro process so the chimps can share moments together like today’s lengthy play session between Rayne and Honey B.  The two of them had another raucous play date in the front rooms this afternoon. It’s our hope that this is just one of many joy filled moments that the two get to share together.

Be sure to bid on the note card sets featuring photos of Rayne, Honey B and the rest of their group mates. You can check them out on our Hoot! online auction, happening right now!

    Hi, Anna!
    looks like that was going well to me!
    Are you back to one on ones instead of dyads?

    It’s as if they have done this for ever, together. Rayne has charmed me, I love her face.

    I can only imagine the raucous laughter if all three of the Chimpanzee Sisters were biting each other’s feet (Mitigating factor: Honey Bebop’s mother has a podiatry practice next door).

    Thanks for the great video, it was really lovely to see that trust between the two of them, I can imagine how easy it would be to lose a finger or a toe if things went south. But they seem definitely interested in being “family,” which makes me glad for all of you!

    Who knew Honey B would turn out to be such a socal butterfly in the introductions to the Lucky 6? It’s a delight to see all the interactions. Thank you for sharing with us.
