Slow and steady

August 28, 2016 by Keri

I love watching the chimpanzees forage for the food we spread throughout Young’s Hill (the chimps’ outdoor enclosure). Each chimp has their own strategy. Jody usually gathers as much food as possible, as quick as possible, before heading back to the Greenhouse to eat.

And Foxie tends to eat as she goes and makes multiple trips throughout the day to look for more food. She seems to abide by the slow and steady method of foraging.

She ate beets and chow on round one…

Finally, she took some time to take in the views from the top of one of the structures.

    To see her roaming freely in the wide open spaces is thrilling!
