Unlike yesterday, the chimpanzees were very lively today and I was able to grab some better photos!
The chimpanzees were given access to Young’s Hill just a couple minutes before breakfast. But five minutes was too long for Jody. She was the first one out and immediately began foraging for some local plant life that grows on the hill.
Jody must have also anticipated Negra waiting for her. She initially brought two back, but ended up with one, and Negra with the other.
Later on in the day, I found Foxie out in the Greenhouse.
Though this one is a little blurry, I still like the pose in it and would consider it a crime not to share anyway.
Also unlike yesterday, I was able to finally capture Willy B in all his handsome glory. I had to be quick though because after hearing the shutter of the camera, he raced to the caging to see his portrait.

Great pic’s today, Thanks for sharing.
I love that Willy B wants editorial control of his image 🙂
Ashley says
😀 That’s perfect, CeeCee!

Thank you for the portraits, those deep amber eyes just get me every time. So beautiful.

Queen Negra, she’s one smart cookie. I think her motto is “Stay calm and let others forage on”.
That first photo of Jody is simply beautiful, artistically so. Her eyes, the fencing ‘pattern’ in the background, and the organic element from her forage…. It’s just lovely Chad. And in the second photo of sweet Foxie, it looks as if she has a fur scarf around her shoulder! Her hair is so thick. Eeesh, Foxie’s expression, my heart melts. And then there is Willy B. Is he handsome or what?! It’s no wonder Willy likes to look at himself, he’s gorgeous.

I so enjoy these blogs and I am very far behind in reading them but that does not matter.
I so love seeing them free and happy. Willy B. is so interesting. Love seeing all of them.
