Lazy Days

July 13, 2015 by Elizabeth

After lunch is the laziest time of the day here at the sanctuary. The chimpanzees have a few hours between lunch and dinner, and they usually spend it in quiet pursuits like grooming, nesting, and napping. This afternoon we set up a lunch forage on Young’s Hill, and after all that activity and excitement, Jody was ready for a little solitary grooming.

After awhile, even grooming took too much energy and she settled in for a nap.

    What a peaceful, sweet face !! What great photos ! It’s so nice to see the chimps relaxed and content. They do deserve it.

    Jody is an incredible beautiful lady… I always “fall in love” with Jody when I watch her photos 🙂
