Each year, when the first cold spell hits, the chimps remind us that there is, in fact, a small upside to winter. Early morning frost lingers in the shadows on Young’s Hill, which the chimps rush to lick from every surface before it vanishes.
Tire swings hide thin layers of ice on the inside.
The chimps gather all of the icy treats they can find and head off to their favorite spots to enjoy them. Some return to the greenhouse.
Others carry their spoils to the tops the climbing structures.
These late fall mornings might be cold, but at least they bring snacks.
Beautiful pictures. I had no idea the chimps would gather those icy snacks to eat. How interesting. I’m glad they have a chance to experience things like this.
Small things can bring great joy. Enjoy your treats
Love the pictures. I’m learning so many interesting things about the chimps. They are very special beings!
Love these photos! Icicle season, how fun!
