Today, we are celebrating Annie’s 36th Birthday! Donate $36 today in honor of her silly antics (her bouncy feet, the way she follows Missy around, and her undying love for grass), and I promise to send you something special in your inbox. Let’s keep raising money for her to get “Out of the Box” to run on 2 acres of GRASS!

Grooming
Missy and Annie spent some time grooming on the platform outside this afternoon. It had just started to sprinkle, so Missy covered herself up with a blanket to stay dry.
When chimps find something good during grooming (usually a piece of dead skin), they will often inspect it. Here, Annie is holding out her lower lip to check something out.
Missy and the Kong toy
Missy seemed to be having a great time working on a food puzzle this morning. Chimpanzees engage in solitary play quite often, but I can’t remember seeing anyone smile so much in the process.
