George and Terry Play on The Bray

by

George’s introduction to members of Cy’s group continues to advance each week. Today was the first time he and Terry shared time on The Bray.

Jamie’s group took note! Whenever something different happens, chimpanzees notice.

It was fun to see Terry and George so far up on the Bray with members of Jamie’s group walking along side them.

George and Terry also had access to the Oakwood Greenhouse, and George dutifully followed Terry from the front rooms, to the Chute, to the greenhouse, and onto The Bray. They definitely got their steps in today!

The Thanksgiving Celebration

by

As promised, here is the video of yesterday’s party.

The anticipation of the feast is always the best part. When chimpanzees are happy, they share their happiness with everyone around them. They hug and kiss each other and join together in choruses of pant-hoots. And they share pants and grunts of excitement with their caregivers.

It’s a celebration not just of food, but of the family they have become. And we are grateful to be considered part of their family in moments like these.
