We’re always looking for a reason to celebrate and throw a party here at the sanctuary. What better reason for a party than to join fans in cheering on the Seattle Seahawks for Super Bowl XLIX today?
So, how exactly do we throw a Super Bowl Party for chimpanzees you may ask? Well, nothing says a party like green and blue streamers, blankets and toys. Throw in some Seahawks cups, plates, napkins, a football, 12th man socks, t-shirt and arm sleeves. And finally, to top it off (and quite possibly the best part if you ask Burrito) we set up a lunch forage in the Playroom, consisting mostly of green colored foods (lettuce, green peppers, cucumbers and potatoes) and blue drinks (watered down gatorade).
Here are photos from the set up:
Be sure to watch the video at the end of the blog to see who ended up drinking these!
And now, the chimpanzees enjoying the party.
Here’s Jamie

Who drank most of the drinks from the blue and green cups? Watch the video to find out….did you guess right?
GO HAWKS!
They sure do like a party! Love the photos and video – Negra … Bless her! And Foxie – well, they are all just so adorable.
Looks like a great party!
Love your parties! What a surprise to see Negra tackle the “12th Man” cups! I love her technique, she didn’t spill a drop! I had my bet placed on Jamie going for the cups after seeing her enjoying all the sparkling cider on New Year’s eve :

Somehow after years of watching the “7” I believe the caretakers have just as good a time planning and setting up the parties as the “7” do enjoying them:) No?
