Missy’s Green Pepper Play

by

The chimpanzees have had many bell peppers donated from a local grocery store lately, so today we did an exciting whole pepper forage on the hill!

 

Missy made a play for two of the peppers:

Jody made an attempt to force a turnover:

But Missy drove to the end zone:

Once the play was complete, she checked for injuries:

And then sat back and enjoyed her touchdown:

The Chimpanzees’ 12th Man Blue Friday Seahawks Party

by

The Seattle Seahawks have had a great season so far, and we decided the chimpanzees should be part of the 12th Man Blue Friday activities! Seahawks and chimpanzee fan Melanie Kelsey helped us out by buying some decorations that volunteer Patti picked up. The decorations were a big hit with Burrito, as you’ll see in the video below.

Perhaps on game day this Sunday, when the Seahawks play the Minnesota Vikings, the chimps will let out their loudest pant-hoot to contribute to the loud and proud tradition of the 12th man. Go Hawks!
