Front Room Play Sessions

December 2, 2021 by Anna

Despite having additional larger indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from, most of the chimpanzees absolutely love hanging out in Front Room 7. This space has a nice view of the human hallway (so you can be the first to spot the next meal service) and we almost always find someone nesting or lounging in this area. This morning, Front Room 7 was the prime play spot for members of Cy’s group.

    I love that they seem so happy and content and are settling in to the new their new sanctuary environment. I always smile when I see their smiles. Always. It’s infectious. ?:cupid:

      Agreed! And, yet, poor Gordo…first his fort get bombarded by Cy, then Rayne takes sides with Cy against him. Life is often unfair.

    Such simple silliness reminds me of how children don’t need expensive toys, at least not when they’re very young. Give them a big cardboard box, wooden spoon, maybe a pot and towel and they can entertain themselves for hours.

    Silly girls. Looks like fun sharing all those breathy laughs.

    I remember this game of Gordo and Cy’s. The cardboard wall game. Fun to see Rayne joining in this time. Why are boxes more fun than the objects they hold? Please ask Gordo for me, he’s clearly the box expert.
