The Unification of the Stubborn Shifters

August 3, 2023 by Anna

As longtime blog readers might know, Honey B can be a challenge for staff when we are trying to close off certain enclosures for cleaning. She likes to throw an obstinate wrench in our best-laid plans. Lucky is also one of those chimpanzees that doesn’t always see the need to cooperate with the shifting schedule from time to time. Today Lucky and Honey B joined their strong willed forces together and stayed behind in the front rooms rather than shifting with their group during morning cleaning . Much to our surprise, their “quiet alone time” morphed into a wrestle session of epic proportions. Shout out to staff caregiver Grace for grabbing all the video for today’s blog!

    Man, that’s a case of “got your toes!” and then some!
    What a week for unindicted co-conspirators! I assume they’re unindicted. ..

      HA-HA-HA!!! Unindicted Co-Conspirators indeed, but unlike those identified on the front page of today’s Times, incomparably more endearing and better looking.

    It made me soooo happy to see Lucky’s playface! It is all just so wonderful that Honey and Mave and Willy have such a big family now. I’m just beyond happy for them.

    Wrestle Mania Honey B! And she’s a contortionist too. Lucky laughs her way through it all. It’s wonderful to see these two having so much fun. To heck with cleaning, you should be selling tickets to watch this event!

    I hope that white scar on the top right of Lucky’s head got there from play wrestling.

    OMG, the Pros could learn a thing or two from these two. I loved the foot and leg grabbing and then spinning around. Hysterical.
