    Honey B is a smartie pants for sure! I’m sure she was also all too happy to get rid of any noisemakers before Willy B got to them!

    I didnt’; realize Honey B (or the chimps) undertstood problems to solve as in today;s blog. Great! Like it that Honey B ha dher onw idea and tried to pass the toy thru the food chute until it was clear that woud not work. She then understood and followed directions to pass the toy over the screen. I am impressed.

      My all-time fav is “Christmas 2015”, when Jamie found something very alarming among their oresents and solved the problem herself!

    Ever since I witnessed the video proof of Honey B in “The Great Hose Caper”, I realized Honey B can do anything if given the opportunity. As Eli stated, she’s a smarty-pants, and I’d add she’s a creative thinker as well. We love you Honey B!

    Honey B is absolutely amazing, but then, we always knew that! Her ability to grasp what you want from a few gestures and words is incredible, but then a prize of some yummy juice is such a great incentive! Well done, you clever girl!

    Theyre all so smart. On another note, is there only 3 males? The total number of Chimps is what? 14, in 3 groups? Sorry for the newbie questions.

      It takes time to learn who everyone is and who resides in each group! 🙂 There are six males. As far as males go, there is Burrito in the original group, Willy B lives in the group with Honey B and Mave, and lastly there is Cy, Terry, and Gordo, in the group George was introduced to. Learn about each chimp here :

        Thank you. Yes Ive looked at that page several times. Looks like its an incomplete list, George isnt on it. Maybe there are others? Appreciate the heads up though.

          Yes, George’s page and video still haven’t been finished. They only received notice from the court that George will be a permanent resident of CSNW a month or so ago. Each chimp’s page and “fall in love with” video features fav foods, a tivities, and BFFs. George is still figuring all of that out!

    We also can’t forget Terry’s endearing reaponse to his friend Cy’s alarming book and magazine pages!
