Dora is one of the more reserved chimps in her group. When caregivers try to get her to play, we are often rejected. But when she does accept our invitations to play, she let’s loose!
Bonus photo of Nutmeg yesterday while it was snowing!

Dora is a pretty lady…..she has a few quirks, but looked very happy in that play session……Nutmeg is, well, just Nutmeg….which is not bad at all…………….
What a lovely girl.!
Wanting to see the “hard to see bits” says alot about body awareness.
Maybe hanging two mirrors (like the one you already have) facing each other would be interesting.
In Australia I cach up with these guys every morning, they make me smile and make me want to eat more healthy when I see them munching on thier fresh food.
Thank you, Chad! Always fun to see Li’l Dora!
Little Dora is just the cutest thing.
And that pic of Nutmeg really puts me in the holiday spirit,
I think Santa might need his help to guide his sleigh this year.:christmas_tree::santa:
Can’t decide what was more enjoyable, the video of sweet Dora or this photo of ‘snow-do’ Nutmeg. I believe it’s a tie. Both brought big smiles to me face. Thanks Chad!
Oh thank you Chad! So good to see a playful Dora. So she usually plays hard to get? That makes these moments all the more special.
YouTube has videos of huge mirrors placed in the forest/jungle with a hidden camera nearby. Young wild gorillas like to check out their private parts. So funny. Silverbacks won’t look themselves in the eye, as is their way with rivals. And they put on quite a display! Thinking their own image is a rival.
CSNW has one of Foxie doing exactly that, Paulette! Checking out the parts they normally can’t see (I suspect Dora was headed in that direction, before editing).
Darn that editing!
