We try our best to vary which chimps are featured on the blog, so that no one is over or underexposed. But sometimes good material for a blog post just comes to us, and we have to go with it. So, I have a Foxie video to share today, despite the fact that the blog has been rather Foxie-heavy lately.
Foxie has an interesting relationship with her dolls. She often treats them maternally, kissing them or carrying them on her back as a mother chimp would do with her infant. Other times, she behaves aggressively toward them, beating them repeatedly with a wooden spoon. Occasionally she seems to be in awe of them, holding them out in front of her and gazing at them adoringly. And sometimes, they’re simply playthings.
This morning she spent some time completely preoccupied with this collection of dolls in the playroom.

Elizabeth — I think Foxie was demonstrating the chimp version of CPR. 😉

I truly laughed out loud when she suddenly stood up and stomped one flat!
Denice says
I think it is a very complicated relationship.

It MUST be a complicated relationship. She looked rather frustrated to me.
