Fall Play

Today was the first day that actually felt fall-like. It was overcast, windy and chilly. I wondered if the chimpanzees would stay inside all day to avoid the cooler air. Here’s a video that answers that question. Annie is the first chimp in the video, Missy is wearing a sock on her left foot (she often puts on a sock or t-shirt when she’s feeling playful), and Jamie is wrestling with Missy under the structure. You can hear the wind in the camera’s mic.

    Ha! Cute. 🙂 All that cavorting is bound to keep them warm!

    Love to see them with so much room to run around! I wonder what they will think of the snow when it comes? 🙂

    Love that sock! They are having so much fun. I agree Audrey I can’t wait to see what they think of snow.

    Such an uplifting video! AND there is a change in the photo of Negra on the home page. It is my favorite!
