Identifying Lucky

November 9, 2023 by Anna

It’s been a couple of weeks but it’s time to revisit my series on identifying the Lucky 6! In case you missed them, be sure to visit my prior blogs on identifying Cy, Gordo, Dora and Rayne. Today it’s time to highlight Lucky! Like her brother Cy, Lucky has a prominent brow ridge. She also has a few pink freckles on the inside of her ears and on her eyelids. She has a bit of a wrinkly belly with wiry hair on her shoulders. After you watch the above video, what features might you use to identify Lucky?

Identifying Rayne

October 19, 2023 by Anna

Today we’ve reached part 4 (Rayne!) of my blog series about identifying the Lucky 6. Be sure to check out Identifying Cy, Gordo and Dora if you haven’t already. Rayne is most recognizable because of the dry skin on her forehead. She also has large ears that stick out a bit, long fingers and a straight back posture.

After you watch the above video, what features might you use to identify Rayne?

Annie was kind enough to let me take some photos of her in the greenhouse this afternoon during lunch. In close, tight shots like these, my attention is often drawn towards some of the differences between us – notice her protruding brow ridge, her flat nose, her elongated palms and fingers, her small thumbs, and her opposable big toes. Of course, you can’t help but notice the similarities as well – her eyelashes, her fingernails, the wrinkles in her skin.

Later, I found Jamie sitting in the “portrait studio” area and she was gracious enough to let me photograph her for a while. One notable difference between humans and chimps is that most chimpanzees have dark sclera – that’s the portion of the eye surrounding the pupil and iris. There’s something about the contrast provided by the dark sclera that makes the iris almost glow in a certain light.
