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!

    It’s always nice to see Negra go adventuring. I guess the call of lettuce was to much to resist!

    Warms my heart to see Negra more active than usual and WillyB perhaps putting his timid behavior patterns behind him. Liked the video pauses with name labels as I’m not so skilled in facial recognition, either chimp or human.

      Even though I recognize them, I liked it, too. They looked like a “squad”. :slight_smile:

    Negra adventuring. What could better than reading those two words. Climbing up onto the structure! Negra still has surprises in her! Missy appears to have bounced back from her dental procedure. And I thought it was sweet the way Burrito settled in at Annie’s side when they came inside. Lastly, Willy B! I’m so proud of him. On his own, like in the beginning, he braves the Bray and the structures. And he looks like he’s getting a little more agile and graceful in that climbing.

    Fun seeing Neggie and Willy enjoying the great outdoors in their own unique way.

    Wow! I just love seeing Neggie adventuring outdoors, and with a dollie in tow, too! Of course, Willy B is really getting comfortable outside! It just warms my heart to see him out there, exploring and having fun!
