It was a busy day in the chimp house today and our new maintenance worker, Jake, was installing steps on a slope to make our perimeter checks a little less hazardous. You see…some of us are accident prone and tend to fall in the mud and snow a lot (*ahem* Jenna). In the afternoon JB had to go into town to run some of his own errands so Cy and Terry took over supervising Jake until dinner time. I was only able to capture some photos of them coming back from their work day to get a well earned meal, and then captured video of Cy unwinding from his long work day with a little YouTube time.

Terry had a busy day as Assistant to the Supervising Manager
 
Bonus photos of Terry enjoying a nice paper wadge to start his day off right!
Do they eat the paper wadge or spit it out eventually?
Chimpanzees normally spit out their wadges once they’ve extracted all of the good stuff.
I remember one of the previous blogs mentioned cleaning up old wadges during cleaning.
Thanks, Eli!
That’s the sweetest reaction, Sabrina!
Just some family time in front of the tv.
What does The Boss think of it?
I have absolutely no doubt that Cy and Terry (and others @ CSNW too ) feel a responsibility to oversee and protect their domain and everyone in it. It is heartwarming to see them step up to that responsibility! 🙂 I admit to hoping that Cy’s reaction to the video was not a sad stirring in his heart for a time past, lost or never enjoyed. They are each recovering heroes.
Thank goodness J.B. can break away for a while knowing Cy and Terry will fill in for him. I hope Jake appreciated their input.
Oh my to Cy and his reaction to mother and child. And to think they have endless options to watch now! Does Willy B still love Sherk?
Excellent morning wadge session with Terry. Thanks.
Absolutely delightful to hear the, sweet, hoots from “Cy” while he is reacting to a, chimpanzee, video!
You should have Jake write a blog. I would love to hear his side of the story 😉
CSNW needs bigger TVs!
Cy’s reaction was so sweet <3
Yes but thry want to keep them small enough to whel through the halls between houses
Cy boys gentle hoot made me melt!!! Love him so much!!!
