Here’s a video of the chimps enjoying the frozen fruit treats that Diana mentioned in yesterday’s blog post. Enjoy!
Negra’s sweet face
Ice on a hot summer day
The chimpanzees have spent a lot of time outside today, so we offered ice cubes as a cool treat.
Families
Super supporter Candace C. has been doing some amazing work tracing the family trees of captive chimpanzees in the United States, including those of the Cle Elum Seven. We’re all very excited today because Candace just found one of Negra’s daughters, Angel, who is safe and sound at Save The Chimps. The mother-daughter resemblance is striking:

Angel:
Thanks, Candace!
Play!
Put up your feet and watch this looong and lazy video of Foxie and Jamie’s looong and lazy play session. Turn up your volume for lots of chimpanzee laughter.
Novelty
Here’s a video of Annie and Jamie exploring a cool new toy:
Jamie’s morning headstand
Jamie often does headstands early in the morning, perhaps to get the blood flowing. She holds them for an impressive length of time, occasionally even lifting her hands off the ground in an envious display of balance. This video captures the last minute or so of this morning’s headstand, which I believe lasted somewhere around seven minutes.
