Friday Fun at CSNW

by 11 Comments

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!

Be like Burrito

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!
