Nesting and Mall Walking

by

We don’t get a ton of video of the chimpanzees actively nesting. I can’t decide which clips I like the most. Honey B and Rayne both crack me up. I love their playful confidence. And I was so pleased to watch from the security cameras George joining the morning mall walking!

I have an update on the Christmas deadline for that extra $40,000 toward our year-end fundraising. The deadline was extended by the Seattle donor, and, as I type this, we only need $494 to reach that $100,000 goal.

We’ve been receiving donations in the mail that I will also apply to the total, so pay close attention over the next few days!

We still have quite a ways to go to reach the full $200,000 goal by midnight on December 31, but I believe in the power of Jamie and her supporters.

Security Video of Mall Walkers

by

As mentioned on Saturday, I have been working on putting together security camera footage from a couple of weeks ago that captured Honey B and Rayne “mall walking” along with some other fun highlights of that morning. I was able to finally figure out the technical issue with exporting the video, and I wanted to share it with you asap.

I just love that the chimpanzees have their own busy lives completely separate from us humans, and seeing them have so much fun makes all of the anxiety of integrating the two groups well worth it!

Observant watchers will note that the time as shown on the camera footage jumps when the scene switches to the black and white / night vision of the mezzanine. That’s because that particular camera is on a different camera system and the times between the two are about six minutes off. This made it a bit challenging to piece together all of these separate clips.

It would have taken me a really long time to label all of the chimpanzees, so you’ll have to use your best id skills to figure out who is who.

I hope you enjoy this extra long video!
