    How wonderful it must be to arrive at work knowing Gordo is waiting for you, readying himself to slide down and greet you. And then you get his signature butt greeting! That’s fantastic. He’s so sweet and I love the way he lumbers about. As goofy and raucous as your fun might be it must be challenging to remain focused, having to be constantly aware of everything going on in front of you and all around you…..especially when you find yourself cracking up over their silliness!

    That was quite the play session! I know it’s often been said Gordo is very subtle in his cues that he wants to play, but he was really putting it all out there! He was clearly having a great time!

    I love the videos when you are interacting or playing with the chimps. It is such a joy to see them happy and playful. I look forward to all of your videos. They are fun and so educational. I love learning about each and every chimp. Thank you for sharing!!!!
