Radicchio!

September 21, 2023 by Anna 11 Comments

Today was a beautiful day for a forage on Young’s Hill. We put out pears, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and peppers, but there was one exciting highlight to the meal: radicchio! This purple leafy veggie comes in its own perfect chimp size portions. Annie and Burrito in particular made the most of the radicchio bonanza!

Burrito collected his lunch and dined al fresco on a log:

Annie took her forage bounty back to the safety of the greenhouse:

Photos from the Summer Vault

September 15, 2023 by Anna 13 Comments

As summer draws to a close I thought it would be a good day to dig through my phone for some unseen moments that I captured throughout these warmer months. Enjoy!

Lunchtime Annie:

Missy Magnified!

The Sunflowers that volunteered on Young’s Hill are still going strong. As the blooms start to go to seed, I imagine their days out there are numbered…

We were all admiring this photo of Negra as it really highlights her illustrious nose hairs.

A Chimpanzee and his Paper Roll

August 31, 2023 by Anna 10 Comments

Today’s enrichment theme was “lots of paper.” Burrito had no trouble at all making sure he celebrated the day properly.

Watch the video and decide. Do you think this was the chimps’ first time trying fennel?

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!

Greens for the Queen

July 27, 2023 by Anna

The time of year is upon us when greens and browse items are especially plentiful. Negra took advantage of today’s forage by eating her way through ample amounts of mini bok choy brought to us by Charlie’s Produce who delivers our weekly produce orders and a browse forage of cattails picked fresh from our nearby pond. If you want to help keep the chimpanzees stocked up on produce, consider becoming a Produce Patron. Many happy food grunts from Negra and her fellow sanctuary residents to all our Produce Patrons!
