Negra loves lettuce!

by

As far as Queen Negra is concerned, FOOD is one of life’s simple pleasures!

Some of Neggie’s favorite foods include primate chow, peanuts, peanut butter, Hawaiian rolls, potatoes (anything starchy, really), clementines, sugar snap peas and Brussels sprouts.  But the simplest of pleasures (besides spring grass, of course) comes from romaine lettuce.  Boy, does Neggie love some romaine!

Let’s all take a moment to enjoy one of life’s simple pleasures, with our beloved Queen Negra.  Chop up a salad, prep some lettuce boats, or just grab a head of romaine, Neggie style.

Busy Tuesdays

by

Tuesdays are our staff meeting days and that means we’re pretty busy in the afternoon. It’s often a scramble finding blog content. Luckily we have Negra in the “Portrait Studio” to carry us through the rest of the day! Thanks to staff member Kelsi for grabbing these moments with The Queen this morning.

P.S. Jamie has recovered nicely after yesterday’s procedure. She is already back to walking around Young’s Hill this afternoon.

 

Natural lighting makes all the difference

by

The natural lighting that shines through the window in one of the Front Rooms (one area of the chimps’ indoor living space), makes all the difference when taking photos of the chimps. We call this area “The Portrait Studio.” The lighting bathes them in a natural glow and makes most photos of them more crisp and clear than photos taken of them anywhere else in the indoor enclosures.
