Chimpanzees love to forage. There’s something very exciting about knowing that a bunch of delicious food is scattered across a wide open space and that you are welcome to as much of it as you can hold. It’s like a treasure hunt with a tasty reward.
This afternoon we took advantage of the sun and blue skies and set up a lunch forage on Young’s Hill. Burrito kept his eyes on the prize:
Today’s winner, though, might have been Missy, who we saw hobbling along with a mouth and both hands full of the good stuff:
Well, yeah, but Missy’s foraging for two….because Neggie’s probably back inside, waiting for someone to bring her something, right? 🙂
This makes me smile. And Missy probably is foraging for Neggie.
Looking forward to these blog updates, thank you!
Dear Burrito, may you always have all you can eat and then some. You too Missy.
Oh Missy, what a hoot Someone give that girl a tote bag so she can collect more goodies
That’s a great idea give them each a tote bag so they can learn to use them while they forage the Hill.
Actually, Jamie’s done something like that inside, funny that none of them have thought to do that outside…
