Dinner Is Served

July 7, 2020 by Chad de Bree

As the day is winding down, the chimpanzees are about to be served dinner. On tonight’s menu is watermelon, sweet potatoes, celery, and their daily night bags filled with sunflower and pumpkin seeds, popcorn, and dried fruit.

I would say tonight’s dinner was a hit with both groups.

Mave enjoying her portion of sweet potatoes.
Honey B enjoying her watermelon.
Missy munching on her fresh celery stalks.
She was soon displaced by the Queen. But Missy headed to her favorite spot to finish her dinner. A window that looks into the loft area of the Playroom.
Speaking of the Queen. She really loves her daily night bags.
Jamie also enjoying her night bag nearby.
Jody went to her favorite spot in Front Room 4 to enjoy her dinner.
Annie went around and gathered whatever was left that nobody else wanted.

With their bellies full and the evening enrichment puzzles solved, the chimpanzees are beginning to build their nests for the night.

Have a wonderful evening everybody!

    I was just wondering what time most of the chimps are settled in for the night and do they sleep most of the night?

      I seem to remember some crazy hour when it’s still light out, like 5.30…..but the pics of Jamie racing the gator at sunset would contradict that

    I am now craving watermelon. Nothing says summer like sweet, super juicy watermelon. I love how Negra loves her night bags. Kills me when she demandingly claps at you in the hopes to speed things up so she can get her bag sooner.

    Reading the blog is like receiving my night bag — it’s full of goodies and the perfect way to end every day. Have a nice evening Chad.

    I always think of Annie’s face as the quintessential chimp’s face, but these pics make me realize that one thing about Annie’s face is that it’s hard to read…she’s not as expressive as Jo or Neggie.
    Speaking of Neggie, there’s that Buddha belly, about to be covered in sunflower seed shells…
