As the weather has been warmer lately, we have been giving Jamie chimpanzee’s group access to their outdoor habitat, Young’s Hill, first thing in the morning. Today, Jamie sprinted out of the greenhouse, ready to patrol her territory. Foxie, Missy and Burrito were hot on her heels! They know that, after breakfast, we spend time cleaning their playroom. Which is the perfect opportunity to take off to explore the hill, looking for young spring grass to graze on (though it might be a little early, yet).
But they always seem to know when it’s just about time for us to finish up and open the doors back up to their playroom. They know that there will be a leafy green forage waiting for them, as well as fresh blankets and enrichment. Today, they even had hanging raisin boards, which they love! So it wasn’t a surprise when we heard breathy chimpanzee laughter coming from the front rooms. There, we found Burrito and Missy finding ways to pass the time, while waiting for their playroom.
Soon, almost all of the chimps were waiting patiently.
