I captured two moments of popularity at the sanctuary today that you can check out below, but first we have a fun event coming up that I wanted to highlight! We have our next virtual visit scheduled for April 15th. This visit will be focused on the chimpanzees’ medical care at the sanctuary and will feature a Q & A session with our veterinary team coming to you live from the chimp house!

The first “popular” moment was when Jamie and I went for a walk on Young’s Hill. Burrito popped out of the raceway and shadowed Jamie closely for the majority of her patrol:
Jamie stayed out a little bit longer for a peaceful moment alone:
The second moment was this grooming circle where Honey B was the center of Terry and Rayne’s attention:
Looks to be a pretty day…..can see sunshine in several of the pictures……everyone appears to be happy……:grinning:
So happy for Honey B having all these new friends!
And Burrito, whats going on – 1) a new friend in Jamie, 2) being taught the ropes to take over leadership, or perhaps 3) planning a take over??
He’s really changed a lot. He was bitten 2x because, instead of avoiding the drama like before and letting the ladies take care of things, he tried to step in…but they weren’t harmless racers when he did. And ever since then, he’s been (I feel) shadowing Jamie a lot. I feel like he probably spends 60-80% of his time with Jamie and Chad (but that’s just what I see in the blog, I could be totally off).
They’re probably all getting limber to prepare for their Easter Day egg hunt:grin:I can’t wait to see what’s on the menu….. I’m sure Missy wants some oval Tomatoes instead..
1 egg each, from Anna’s chickens!
Jamei and Burrito, the Patrol Team. Burrito reminds me of the pesky little brother who always wants to tag along. But Jamie tolerates him and maybe she is actually pleased to have him hanging around. It’s always good to have wingman!
Who would you say are the Alphas of the two groups? I know its been mentioned before but I forget… and things change of course!
Cy on the new side.
On the other side. Jamie is the boss of everything
