Yesterday, Kelsi shared Cy and George’s all day intro from last Saturday. She talked about how challenging it can be to isolate a chimp when preparing for an introduction.
“Setting up introduction days is a lot of work. Behind the scenes, getting the chimps to shift and move where they need to be can be quite challenging. Not everyone is always eager to cooperate (cough, cough — Honey B, Terry, and now Rayne). Sometimes, if the chimps don’t shift, it can really affect the whole day, and we have to get creative with our shifting plans. Mentally, it can be extremely taxing.” See the rest of the blog here.
Today, you get to see a glimpse of what it can take to separate a chimp. Some days are better than others, and some days we need to get creative. This was one of those “let’s get creative” days. In today’s video, Ellen’s goal is to isolate Cy into the chute, which connects to George’s front rooms. She has already separated Cy from his group, but Gordo tagged along and they are both now in Greenhouse 3. Ellen now needs to distract Gordo so she can move Cy into Greenhouse 2 and then into the chute.
Ellen decides to recruit some help, come along to see how it goes.
