A Day on the Bray with George

July 18, 2025 by Sabrina

Today’s blog features a video from George’s big adventure on the Bray yesterday. He showed a ton of courage, making it all the way to the top—twice!—to visit Chad, who was keeping an eye on him. Plus, George got a surprise visit from across the way, since Negra decided to hang out in the greenhouse instead of heading inside with her group. Enjoy!

    George is incredible. I think he’s determined to make the most out of this wonderful situation he’s found himself in. And you’re right, Sabrina, he is so brave to explore that large piece of property all by his little self. He looked like a tiny speck up in the upper left-hand corner of the Bray. How sweet that Negra was keeping an eye on him! After seeing yesterday‘s post, I was curious if any of the other chimps enjoy watching George as they observe from the inside.

      The other chimps do keep a close eye on George when he is outside. Cy and Willy B’s groups tend to watch quietly for the most part so far, while Jamie’s group is pretty vocal as they watch from their windows.

        Thanks, Sabrina! Why am I not surprised to discover that Jamie’s group makes the most ruckus over George. Cracks me up!!

    Looks like it was a great day for him to explore. I love knowing what his body language means. Like his relaxed lip.

    With a hop, skip and a jump, George explores it all. I’m happy the chimps inside are curoos and keeping an eye on him. i hope Cy will welcome hkm into the group.
