Morning Stroll

May 27, 2026 by Kelsi 6 Comments

This morning after breakfast, Jamie very enthusiastically gestured for Dusty and I to go on a walk. It had been a while since I had gone on a walk, so I looked at Dusty and say “Well, let’s go then!”, and a walk we did! We went for a nice and slow perimeter walk where Jamie looked for snakes and Missy collected as many yellow goatsbeard weeds in her mouth as she could! It was a really nice way to start the day. I hope this walk made your day the way it did for Dusty and I!

Wacky Winter

March 14, 2026 by Dusty Cavaliere

It’s been a wacky winter in the Pacific Northwest! Sunshine in February, snow in March. Let’s take a walk together around Young’s Hill and see what the weather will do.

Snapshots of a Winter Day

January 28, 2026 by Kelsi

Today was a beautiful winter day. The chimps spent most of their time exploring outside and lounging in the warm greenhouses. We’ll let the photos do most of the talking!

Negra was the first out this morning:

Annie:

Foxie took one of her dolls out for a stroll:

A little traffic jam this morning with Foxie and Burrito:

While Annie and Burrito decided to commute together:

Dora drinking some Gatorade out of a bowl in the cozy greenhouse:

Lucky enjoying the warmth of the greenhouse:

Gordo grooming his foot:

Later, as he was laying Rayne came up and started grooming him:

And a side profile of sweet Cy, we played a slow game of chase in the greenhouse:

Celebrating Mave on the Other Side of the Building

September 26, 2025 by Krissy Brasfield

Yesterday, you got to see Mave celebrate her 36th birthday!  Did you miss it?  If so, check it out here!

Today, you get to see what everyone was doing on the other side of the building!  Jamie, Missy, Annie, Burrito, Foxie and Negra got to venture out onto Young’s Hill, their 2 acre outdoor habitat, to forage for all of the birthday goodies!  They had coconuts, Dole Whip, baby heads of iceberg lettuce, corn and mini peppers.  YUM!  (No mango for this group due to Annie’s mango allergy.  Bummer!)

It was quite windy outside, but most everyone braved the wind gusts to participate in the party treats!  Can you guess who DID NOT brave the wind?
