July 6, 2025 by Krissy Brasfield

How much fun is it to watch a chimpanzee entertain himself?  Pretty fun!

Who do you think is featured in this video?

Hmmm?

    Glad you featured our Willy B. He’s always liked looking at himself in the mirror or maybe he’s just checking the condition of his teeth, not sure. He seems to be more peaceful and that’s wonderful. I do miss seeing him shaking the slinky like crazy on his ankle, now that great cardio for anyone.

    Ah ha! Clearly he just saw F1 and is trying out Brad Pitts’ ball exercises!

    Yes, watching Willy B’s antics was fun, and, captivating! Thank you for capturing such an entertaining, and, priceless, video, I have a, new, appreciation for Willy B’s imagination, creativity, and, the variety of the objects with which he engaged.

    you’re right. My first thought would’ve been Bubba-licious. But it was Willy-licious! That put a smile on my face. It was good to see him being so silly. But he still displayed! What? is he just displaying at himself?? He’s too much. But still and always endearing.

      Translation: “Mirror, Mirror, on the wall…. It’s me! Im still the most handsome!”

    I had guessed from the thumbnail!:laughing:
    I thought he was in slinky mode, too.
    Why does it seem like he’s in solitary? Are his housemates visiting the other 6?

      Who knows what those girls were up to! He is still housed with Honey B and Mave.

    Get out! Willy B had me in stitches! Sure, the balls are fun. They are brightly color and squishy and they bounce. And we all know Willy B cannot ignore his own reflection and his dentist loves him for always practicing good dental hygiene. Clearly Willy is so stinking handsome that seeing his own reflection sent him into a slight outburst. It’s as if he couldn’t believe his own eyes and needed another look. Yup, Willy. You are really that handsome! And then Willy B plays with the tub…..it was the shenanigans under the green tub that got me laughing!! What the heck was that all about?! So funny. Willy B the turtle! Loved the look he gave you. I love this precious guy.

    I admit, 100% I expected to see our #1 lovable goofball, Burrito. But now I see, when it comes to keeping yourself silly busy, Burrito has serious competition.

    So now I know that the ‘B’ in Willy’s name refers to ‘Burrito’!:smile:

    Why don’t you install a basketball hoop and let them “play” the game?
