I Spy

December 14, 2024 by Sabrina

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed an interesting behavior from Willy B. He often sits by a window in one of his front rooms, where he appears to be watching the camera monitor that shows his group’s activities.
At first, I wasn’t completely sure about his intentions. But recently, during a morning conflict within his group, his behavior confirmed my suspicions. When a commotion started, Willy B checked several windows, trying to get a direct view of the situation. After a minute of searching, he settled in his usual spot – right by the window that overlooks the hallway’s camera monitor.
This incident has convinced me that Willy B is deliberately using the cameras to monitor his group throughout the day. He’s found a clever way to keep track of everyone’s activities, even when they’re not directly in his line of sight.
I was able to capture this in a couple short video clips for today’s video in addition to an exciting play session between Gordo and Honey B, which seems to becoming a daily occurrence.

 

I want to give a big thank you to Kathleen C. for her winning bid on the Jamie & Her Boot throw for the chimps and to Tammi F for winning the hooded moose blanket! Jamie’s group received both items today and while we didn’t get any photos of them interacting with these blankets yet we hope to see them in some nests tomorrow morning!
