Headband high jinks

May 8, 2025 by Anna

Check out the wild game that Negra and Burrito played this morning! This also seems like a perfect time to plug our Amazon Wish List since we have headbands and other fun enriching items listed on there. Happy Thursday everyone!

Honey B and Terry Back Together

January 26, 2025 by Diana

The video pretty much says it all.

No, that’s not true.

I’m sure J.B. will have more to share about the Terry and Gordo switch tomorrow!

I know some people are having trouble accessing our videos when clicking on the embedded videos on the blog. For some reason, YouTube has decided to ask people to sign in to their accounts to access videos. I guess it’s a known issue. If you are having trouble, here’s a link to watch the video directly on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGZ3ozNReQY

I’m also curious what happens if I include the video here instead of through our top posting system, so here it is:

Who’s Playing with Burrito?

December 29, 2024 by Diana

There is nothing better than the sound of chimpanzee laughter filling the chimp house.

See if you can guess who is making Burrito laugh before the video reveals their identity!

Morning Play!

September 21, 2024 by Krissy Brasfield

This morning, Jenna and I were cleaning the playroom when we were greeted with delightful chimpanzee laughter coming from the front rooms.  Can you guess who?  Of course, it was Burrito and his good friend Foxie!  Wrestling, poking, tickling, biting, pushing, pulling…all the things required for a raucous play session.  We really wanted to capture this fun time without catching the ire of the fun police.  How do you think we did?

The Simple Joys of a Rainbow Headband

July 11, 2024 by Anna

As “usual” Honey B declined to shift out of the Front Rooms yesterday so we could clean them all at once (which is much more efficient). She also had an accomplice in her friend Dora. As you can see, the girls made the best of their one-on-one time.

The Unification of the Stubborn Shifters

August 3, 2023 by Anna

As longtime blog readers might know, Honey B can be a challenge for staff when we are trying to close off certain enclosures for cleaning. She likes to throw an obstinate wrench in our best-laid plans. Lucky is also one of those chimpanzees that doesn’t always see the need to cooperate with the shifting schedule from time to time. Today Lucky and Honey B joined their strong willed forces together and stayed behind in the front rooms rather than shifting with their group during morning cleaning . Much to our surprise, their “quiet alone time” morphed into a wrestle session of epic proportions. Shout out to staff caregiver Grace for grabbing all the video for today’s blog!

Jamie & Burrito’s Day of Friendship

November 5, 2022 by Diana

They really did play for a good amount of time while Anna and I cleaned their playroom. I was very glad to get the clips I did!

As you can see from the video, the snow from yesterday was short-lived. I saw Annie walking up the stairs to the playroom loft with a big handful of snow. It’s good that they love to eat it!
