People sometimes ask how we play with the chimpanzees if we don’t enter the enclosure with them. Exhibit 1:

Goofy Burrito
“Oh, Neggie…”
Negra’s playfulness with her caregivers was not just a one time deal. It seems she is really coming out of her shell and is starting to loosen up a bit. I can’t even begin to tell you all how happy this makes all of us. To see Negra laugh and play with her caregivers brings us sheer joy!
Playful Burrito
Despite the rainy weather, the playfulness at CSNW continues!
Playful bunch of chimps!
Foxie and Jamie have had some pretty epic play sessions lately, but they’re not the only ones in good moods…
Foxie and Jamie’s tug-o-war
Foxie and Jamie continue to enjoy each other’s company.
Jody and Missy play
As we’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, Jody doesn’t play too often. But every once in a while, we’ll catch her playing with someone, which is a real treat. Even then though, it’s often a very mellow kind of play… Today, however, Missy got her going, resulting in a full-fledged play session. Notice how Jamie tries to steal their thunder towards the end… very “Jamie-like”, if you ask me. 🙂
