A Jolly Good Day

March 29, 2025 by Krissy Brasfield

I need to take some x-rays of Ms. Honey B’s healing hand, so I will leave you with our most beloved guy, Burrito.

Burrito and a Jolly Ball?  What more does one need?

Burrito Turns 42!

January 6, 2025 by J.B.

It’s hard to believe, but this young-at-heart chimpanzee is now 42 years old. Many thanks to Paulette for sponsoring this day in honor of her Pal!

A Boy and His Ball (and Hammer)

November 29, 2024 by Krissy Brasfield

After a raucous Thanksgiving celebration yesterday, which included lots of fun and lots of food, most of the chimpanzees are laying low (I think many of our followers in the U.S. can relate, am I right?).

Burrito isn’t generally one to “lay low”, but today he did most of his playing on his back!  It’s always a pleasure to watch Burrito entertain himself 🙂

Enrichment is Fun

June 30, 2024 by Diana

If you are watching with sound, you can hear that I was unable to contain my laughter at one point. Nevertheless, I attempted to frame Burrito’s silliness in the most educational way possible ;). Thanks to Krissy for the brand new Jolly Ball that she made sure Burrito had today!

We stuffed cabbage and a few nuts in each of those red ball puzzles.

Please learn more about our enrichment by perusing the Enrichment Database!

A missed moment

March 19, 2024 by Anna

I’ve been sitting on this fun video for a perfect quick blog on a busy meeting day. Burrito brings out all his silliness when he plays with his Jolly Ball!  We’ve seen countless moments like this one in the last few months since he got this new toy.
