Socially Savvy

March 20, 2024 by Kelsi

Rayne is known to be one of our more socially savvy chimps, it’s kind of her superpower. She is exceptionally good at reading what her group members need in the moment. Rayne is particularly good with Willy B, who has been known to be socially awkward. Their friendship has really grown over the years and it is so special to watch. Sometimes when Willy B seems to be getting worked up, Rayne can get him to start playing and make Willy B forget about causing a ruckus! It takes an extremely observant individual to read someone and know when to leave it or when to step in, Rayne is just one of those individuals.

Rayne and Willy B:

And the photos of Rayne could go on and on :). Rayne really is one really special chimp and we are sooo lucky to know her!

    That video was so enjoyable that I watched it twice again as soon as it finished. Two of SuperRayne’s superpowers has to be how she can be so chill yet so playful, and how she can entice a play face from Wilbur B. Chimpanzee. Mitigating factor: She demonstrates good dental hygiene.

    Savvy Rayne. Thanks for being you. Lucky Willy B. It’s great to have friends who get you! I’m glad Mave was keeping a close eye on the silliness.

    Rayne is such a cool lady.
    Her friendship with Willy B makes me so happy. It’s great to see him forget his anxiety and just be goofy and silly. Rayne seems to be a pro at bringing that side of him out.
    Of course, I love seeing her with her half-sister, Honey B, too! It’s great to see their little girl gang.

    I must admit I’m biased towards my pal Raynee, but I regard her as an extremely wise chimp lady. She’s still quite young, but, with time, she’ll hopefully grow into the role of “everybody’s Mama” in the troop.
