The Bray Breeze

May 30, 2025 by Jenna

Today’s blog videos consists of many things: play, dancing, smoothies, sunshine, and the beautiful breeze.

While recording Cy out on The Bray, I was enjoying watching him look up to the sky, watching the birds, and I believe he even caught an airplane. It was so beautiful out and I loved watching him experience the day with me.

Check out today’s blog video here!

Friday Fun at CSNW

November 22, 2024 by Jenna

Despite the gloomy day with the occasional rain showers, the chimps have been playing, reading, grooming, and relaxing. The perfect day at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest.

If you haven’t watched the video yet, can you guess what activity we caught Burrito engaging in today?! It’s an activity that many of our other chimps enjoy, but something Burrito does not participate in unless we add peanut butter to it… any guesses? Check out the video above for the answer!

Gordo and Cy (window). Their group is currently doing a reintro so these two boys aren’t together, yet!

We also wanted to thank everyone who participated in our Comfort and Joy auction! Thank you for supporting us, year after year! We couldn’t do this without you! ❤️

Be like Burrito

November 8, 2024 by Jenna

Burrito is such a fun-loving chimpanzee. He easily entertains himself, thinks everything is a toy, and seems to look at life with the “glass half full” mentality. I remember about a year or two ago, I asked my mom what chimpanzee she liked the most (she doesn’t know them personally, but follows very closely on the blog). Without hesitating, she answered, “Burrito!”. When I asked her reasoning, she said that he has overcome a lot and has a great zest for life. His happiness stood out to her.

It stands out to me too! Despite working here for a few years, I’m still amazed at how he is always bouncing around. We should all be more like Burrito! It’s quite refreshing.

 

Guess what?! Ornaments of some of the chimps are up on the auction site now! Check back daily for more items to bid on!

Check out Gordo’s ornament here:
