If you’ve have been following the blog for any length of time, you likely know that Annie and Missy are best friends. They explore together, lounge together, nap together, and (my favorite) play together!
Recently, on a beautiful summer day, I was cleaning in the front rooms and heard the delightful sound of chimpanzee laughter. Who could it be? Burrito is the usual suspect. But on this day, I found Annie and Missy engaged in a playful wrestling match. Everyone else was out lounging in their greenhouse, and exploring on Young’s Hill, but these two were happy to stay indoors in a raucous play session!
I was looking at old blog posts about Annie and Missy and I came across a post by Diana from March of 2008 – 3 months before the original group of 7, the Cle Elum 7, arrived at the sanctuary. It’s clear that these chimpanzee friends have had a special relationship for a very long time!
