One of the most popular types of enrichment for the chimps also happens to be one of the easiest food “puzzles” to make. All it takes is a magazine and a tablespoon of peanut butter spread randomly over its pages to keep the chimps busy for a significant amount of time. The chimpanzees enjoy discovering their treats as they carefully examine each page, front and back! They usually also end up swapping magazines to make sure their friends didn’t miss any secret peanut butter. This afternoon I snapped some photos as Cy’s group investigated their enrichment.

Cy in particular enjoys the gift of peanut butter magazines because it really expands his collection of browsing material:
