Cy is scared of many things that he finds in his books and magazines. If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’re no stranger to this. Elephants is one of the things Cy is scared of. When he sees a picture of one, he will alarm call.
Yesterday, he had a picture book of animals, which he thoroughly enjoyed. However, once he discovered the elephants, he began to alarm call. Chimpanzees do this naturally to warn their group of potential danger.
His group members always respond to his alarm calls, but quickly realize it’s a false alarm once they see him reading his book. However, they will usually offer him reassurance.
Terry, on multiple occasions, has ripped up the scary pictures for him and pushed them through the caging so Cy can’t bring them back in. This specific occasion, highlighted in today’s video, was no exception. Terry ended up identifying the scary image of the elephant and giving it to Diana when he saw her so she could have it.
