the snow days continue

January 21, 2012 by Diana

If you’re in Washington State or have heard the national weather news, you know that there’s been no shortage of snow this week! We probably have about 16-18 inches on the ground now with more expected. The snow accumulation has caused the electric fence voltage on Young’s Hill to reduce (this is normal and expected). That, combined with the chimpanzees generally not enjoying walking in snow, they haven’t been on the hill this week. But that doesn’t mean they haven’t been able to take part in the weather!

J.B. shared a video on Thursday of the chimps snacking on troll doll snow cones – snow combined with a bit of orange juice, then frozen overnight outside.

Today, we filled up the big tub in the greenhouse with snow, so the chimpanzees have been free-snacking on it all day. Below are a few photos.

Burrito (Jamie in the background):

A series of Foxie:

Forget milk mustaches, 2012 is all about snow beards:

If you’re wondering if Foxie went to the tub empty-handed, the answer is no – she brought a troll doll and a brush:

Negra opted to bring her snow inside for snacking:

Vertical Play

January 14, 2012 by Diana

I found some gems when going through videos today. The rungs in this room (what we call around here Front Room One) normally lead to a bench. The bench was taken out and will be replaced soon, but that doesn’t mean the rungs aren’t still used by acrobatic Foxie.

Great Ape Protection Act Video

January 14, 2012 by Diana

If you haven’t seen this video put together by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, with footage taken by Jonathan Houser of the chimpanzees being released onto Young’s Hill, watch it below.

The chimpanzees are the stars of the video, in our opinion, but you might spot a Hollywood star or two as well. There is certainly momentum building for ending the use of chimpanzees in research, and we hope that the Cle Elum Seven can continue to serve as an example of why chimpanzees should be permanently released to sanctuaries.

Biological Anthropologist Barbara King shared the video on the NPR website earlier today.

Creative Jamie

January 7, 2012 by Diana

I enjoyed watching this in person as much as I enjoyed making the video. Jamie is endlessly fascinating. I love the intense purposefulness that she employs no matter what she’s doing.

Holiday Celebrations

December 28, 2011 by Diana

The celebrations continue at the sanctuary!

A lot of people have helped make all of the fun happen – including those who gave through our Holiday Gift Store.

Debbie put together a holiday recap of the festivities so far. Watch below. The chimpanzees thank you!
