Introductions with the hope of merging the two California groups continued today. Starring a double date scenario involving Willy B and Mave, and Cy and Dora. It went overall very well. What goes best with a Saturday night double date? Some bubbly. The chimpanzees got soapy buckets as day time enrichment and it was a HIT. Jody and Annie were the first ones to dig in into the soapy pool that caregivers prepared for them and their friends in the play room. Missy took her time coming down to join in the pool party but did not miss out either. In the green house, Burrito made sure to hog the water bucket and then grabbed a cup to facilitate the drinking.

What kind of soap made the suds? I’m intrigued by their drinking it.
they have a plant-based, non-toxic one
It’s a drop of non-toxic, plant-based, fragrance-free soap. You can find more information on our Bubbles section in the Enrichment Database: https://chimpsnw.org/enrichment/bubbles/

Mauve always looks so deep in concentration when she grooms

The bubbly is a frothy-mouthful-hit. Love the Double Date photos too. Sounds like a super successful day for everyone!
Er…yeah…what exactly are the ingredients of the bubbly water, and what are the gastroenterological consequences of ingesting same?

Ah, I should have known. The human staff who work for — and in subordination to — Jamie provide only the highest quality products and enrichment. Better still, it is vegan!
¿y qué, Sofía?
Thanks for the fun pics! I always love Annie’s hands…this one shows them off.
Is it just the proximity to the camera, or does Cy have massive hands!?
And who’s chillin’ on the platform behind Burrito? Missy? I don’t think it’s Foxie…
Todo super bien, espero que igual usted 🙂 I also love Annie’s hands.
Cy is a very large chimp, his hands included! Resting in the back of the greenhouse is Foxie.
Ha! I thought the knew the OG7, inside and out, front and back! :laughing:
I love your response to the comments Sofìa…..it made me laugh to read it every time.
And if we ALL would use this kind of non-toxic plant-based soap, the world would already be a beter place…….
Fascinating to watch Missy, easily, slip on the sock! So very bright and exterous.
