Between Storms

September 17, 2015 by Anna

Today at the sanctuary we received several genuine downpours of rain. Not just sprinkles or mist, but actual, much needed rainfall! The chimpanzees spent the rainy part of the day inside, either sleeping in their warm nests in the playroom, or hanging out in the cooler, covered greenhouse.

In a particular break in the weather, Jamie and I went for a walk around Young’s Hill.

And Missy ate a snack at the top of the hill.

Annie got a drink of fresh rainwater that had collected on a platform.

And then we all returned inside to watch the next rain cloud roll in.

    Great weather for a walk. I love this time if year and hope the seven do too.

    Does Jamie demand a walk around Young’s hill in between the storms……or even during the rain?

    Hi Anna!

    I’m wondering if any of the 7 have either positive or negative reactions to loud thunder?

    What a change in the weather! Happy to see you are getting the much needed rain and even happier to see breaks in the rain for Jamie to patrol the Hill! Love the shot of Annie sipping her rain water with her one leg bent slightly up.
