When caregivers get done cleaning the playrooms, we usually put a forage inside to convince the chimpanzees to take up our invitation to go into the newly cleaned area and leave the one we want to close off to clean. These forages are smaller than the lunch forages and more often than not made of greens like lettuce, cabbage, kale, etc. But every so often we like to surprise them with something a little more exciting. Today, their invitation was made for them to go nuts! It was coconuts!
The chimpanzees seemed to really love it. Especially Burrito! As you can see in the video, sometimes the anticipation is the best part of the of the excitment of things to come!
Here are some photos of Negra with the pieces of coconut she got during the forage:
And Jody and Jamie enjoying a browse of cornstalks in their Greenhouse:
And this guy (Burrito!) playing with caregiver Kelsi!
And as a reminder, the Countdown to Jamieween has begun! There are still some items on the wish list we think she and her family would like!
