Pine cones and Politics

June 20, 2024 by Anna

This morning Negra was peacefully enjoying her peanut butter pine cone…

When there arose such a clatter…

Not pictured: Burrito’s raucous display making the “clatter.”

Negra’s whimper of concern

And outstretched hand seeking reassurance from the photographer

Back to business

Still best to keep eyes on that wild roommate…

Natural enrichment

April 24, 2016 by Keri

We’re always trying to come up with ways to can keep the Cle Elum Seven enriched throughout the day. We offer toys, blankets, boots, dolls, clothing, containers (to name a few) each day. But, sometimes nature provides the best forms of enrichment, including grass and plants to forage, birds to watch (and chase) and snakes to inspect.

So, it’s always nice to incorporate parts of nature into the chimps’ enrichment. Pine cones are a great way to do just that. Add a little peanut butter to the outside, hide a few raisins in the middle and viola, chimpanzee evening enrichment.
