Good Morning Negra and Willy B!

July 28, 2025 by Diana

Negra has been adventuring for a couple of days. The clips in the video above were from today.

Yesterday, she was lured to Young’s Hill with a lettuce forage, and J.B. snapped a few photos:

She even climbed up on one of the structures, which is unusual for her!

I felt very lucky to be a witness to Willy B’s solo adventure this morning. There was some construction noise from a distance that Willy B may have decided to investigate.

He displayed when he got to very top structure. Maybe he was responding to the construction noise or maybe he was celebrating going all the way to the top!

Today is for Rachel and Ruby!

July 28, 2025 by Katelyn

Our heartfelt thanks today to long-time supporter and friend of the sanctuary, Rachel Ruggeri, for sponsoring this annual day of sanctuary for the chimpanzees and cows as a way to celebrate her birthday! Rachel would also especially like to honor Ruby McConnell Ruggeri today!

Rachel shared: “Ruby came to me when my father passed away on my birthday twelve years ago. So a good day to honor her.”

Rachel and her family have helped make so much possible for the chimpanzees and cows, making a lasting difference in their lives, and we’re so thrilled to share in her celebration today and in honoring Ruby! We are so grateful to them all.

Rachel and Ruby, wishing a beautiful day to you both from all of us here at the sanctuary!
