You’re never too old to play

December 10, 2011 by Diana

Negra apparently likes her playmates to hit her on the head.

    How lovely to see Negra interacting with them all. She has brought a whole new meaning to hand clapping into my world.

    When I first saw “hit” I thought, Uh oh. It’s more like patting than hitting. 🙂

    I’ve watched it three times now! Did anybody catch how in the beginning, both Annie and Negra are nodding, as though agreeing to this?! I love it! Speaking of love, the chimps all seemed very close and loving in this video, and Jamie even pats Negra as she finishes “spinning” her! A thoroughly delightful moment!!

    I love this video and the sweetness of the girls, even in close proximity, well-behaved and playing at Negra’s speed.

    I take a special joy in seeing Negra play.
