The play never stops for Missy and Annie
Here are some action shots from right after lunch. First, note the sock – which is Missy for “Let’s play!” Annie is always happy to oblige. I love Annie’s big playface!
Kissing
Chimpanzees often kiss each other as a means of seeking reassurance. Usually what we call a kiss is really more of a soft bite with the lips covering the teeth. In this case, Annie was overly excited and she looked to Missy for comfort. Missy didn’t really have to do much – really, she just had to accept it – but that was enough to reassure Annie.
Always playing
Missy and Annie were playing inside before lunch today. Usually Missy puts on a sock before she starts to play; today she did the reverse.
