Winter Sun

January 25, 2026 by Diana

The sun was out today, and the chimpanzees took advantage of it!

Mave can most often be found lying down. She’s a pretty chill, not very athletic individual. She also is still getting comfortable being in The Bray habitat, after years of avoiding the great big outdoors.

That’s why it has been surprising to see that Mave is the biggest fan of the shaky bridge that was constructed by founder Keith and friends last summer!

Mave spent some quality alone time soaking up the winter sun.

 

Meanwhile, George hung out with his new friends in the toasty greenhouses.

Here’s Gordo grooming George, with Cy and Rayne not visible in the photo, but nearby:

They also got some time on The Bray this afternoon!

Rayne (far right) excitedly greeted George (lower middle) while Cy monitored and Terry charged ahead:
