A Day for a Family in Colorado

January 7, 2017 by Diana

Today’s day of sanctuary was a gift donation for the Eilmeses in Colorado: Kurt, Erin, Isaac, Ace & Elyse with Happy New Year wishes from Kevin and Diane Eilmes. They gave this gift in the hope that their Colorado family enjoy the chimps as much as they do!

Thank you, Kevin & Diane!

 

Here’s a favorite video from the previous year that illustrates one of the most important aspects of sanctuary life for the chimpanzees – companionship:

 

 

And here’s a photo of Annie and Missy holding hands:

Neighboring Nests

If you’re having a bad day, this should make you feel better:

Amazingly, this is only the second best video of chimps holding hands that you will see this week. If you haven’t yet, check out this story about Terry and Jeannie from our friends at Save the Chimps.
