Quiet Moments & Loud Voices

June 25, 2025 by Kelsi

Today was jam packed with cleaning, staff and volunteer training, George explore the green house, and a whole lot of chimpanzees vocalizing! While chimps are quiet by nature, when they decide to make noise, they really make themselves heard. Currently, the chimp house is almost silent with chimps napping or grooming each other, which is a stark contrast to this morning, but that’s chimps for you!

Despite the commotion, there were still some sweet, quiet moments worth sharing. I did manage to capture a few peaceful photos of George and Jamie, as well as a few photos of Foxie thoroughly enjoying an avocado snack with her doll from yesterday!

A photo series of the sweet, handsome, and sleepy George:

    Avocado is my Foxie friend’s favorite, but it tastes better with Orange Blossom!
    (which makes me wonder if the chimps would like orange blossom water. .. or rose hip water….)

    Georgie looks so much like Dora. ..
    Thanks, Kelsi!

    I never realized Foxie is missing part of her left ear before now.

    Something tells me after a busy days work, when your day ends and you finally crawl into your own comfortable nest, you sleep more soundly than the chimps!

    This photo series of Foxie is fabulous! Love her shoulder floof! I hope George enjoyed himself in the greenhouse.

    Does George use blankets?

      They said his first week he was showing signs. Don’t know if he had blankets at the last place. Maybe he’ll learn from the others

    George looks so content. Can’t wait to see him with Cy’s group. He’s so chilled.

    They all are so content.:revolving_hearts: Thank you taking such good care of them. The doll made me smile with warmth.
