Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest
Hope. Love. Home. Sanctuary
Breakfast is a very exciting meal for the chimps. And why wouldn’t it be? What is more exciting than fruit, smoothie, vitamins, chow, and peanuts? Today the chimps had bananas, plums, and a banana & peanut butter smoothie. Below are a collection of photos from today’s beautiful crisp fall morning at CSNW!

Enrichment comes in many forms…
The chimps are not known for being gentle with the enrichment they receive. Many of the toys they get each day have a primary use (to be examined and played with) and a secondary use (to be destroyed by any means possible). I imagine there’s something pretty enjoyable about making a huge pile of fun destruction and then have housekeeping come in every morning so you can do it all over again.
We may never understand what it is about boots that Jamie loves so much, but love them she does.

Jody has the most expressive face. She seems to greet the world in wonder.
In our continuing effort to come up with new and interesting enrichment for the chimpanzees, we present to you…
