I was just looking through some photos Diana took yesterday, and I had to share this one:
chimpanzee rescue
New Year’s feast
Yesterday the chimpanzees had an exciting feast to celebrate another year of sanctuary.
Happy Holiday!
What a special week this has been! Over the last few days, we’ve received tons of items from our Amazon Wishlist, we received our brand new, top of the line camera from our amazing board members (which produced the spectacular footage below), and today, the chimps had the most awesome party! Special thanks to Robbi and Dick Brown, Leslie Sodaro, Jeani Goodrich, Diane and Syd Marcus, Sue Elfing, and the GFWC-Battleground, WA for all of the enrichment and to all of our amazing supporters and volunteers, who make days like this possible. Happy Holidays, everyone!
Burrito’s favorite thing
A wintry perk
Like many humans, chimpanzees generally prefer warmer temperatures. For that reason, winter is not much fun for the Cle Elum Seven, but there is one big consolation: they are treated to an all-you-can-eat snow buffet.
You can’t always get what you want
Burrito and Foxie are great friends, but sometimes friends just aren’t in the mood to play when you are.
