Friday Eve

February 3, 2022 by Sofia Castro-Loza

Today was a very low-key day at the chimp house where everyone seemed to be very much OK with doing their thing, even if it was absolutely nothing.

    What a peaceful (…well, with the exception of Gordo that is!) Friday Eve. Burrito, wooden toy in hand and wearing a slinky as a sock. Of course! Who else could it be but Burrito. As far as handsome Willy B goes, I was transfixed on the close up of his face and sparkling eye and then I scrolled to those lips and his little white goatee hairs peeking out of the caging. Hope you received a kiss on the back of your hand. Thanks for bringing Willy B up close and personal.

      I completely agree, Kathleen! I just love the close-up of Willy B’s gorgeous ear! I was pretty transfixed by how beautiful it is and the pic is an angle that I don’t often see and that really shows how delicate that ear is. Just wonderful! Thank you Sofia!

    Beautiful! I love the close ups of their eyes. Lazy days are often the best.

      I spent a lazy day waiting for the snow to stop. I can’t imagine the thirty- some inches they had to deal with.

    I have a hunch that the girls swoon when they take a look at Willy B’s lips. It’s a great picture of him. How about a CSNW calendar with the male chimps posing with bow ties ala the Chippendales!
    Or, in the Burt Renolds pose on bear skin rug, It might be a best seller.

    Oh, what beautiful and enticing lips Terry possesses! Now we know (in part) why he is such a babe-magnet!
