    This makes my heart well up for them. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Thanks Diana for taking the time to post this so late in the evening. I’ve noticed how Burrito always focuses intently whether he’s looking at the photo album, or watching the CD or DVD that’s being put together of their photos. He has that same look on his face in this video, he seemed to be rocking a little bit. They’re so used to their family vocalizations, how did they respond to the tape? If at all. I know you all got a t.v. now, but do you have a VCR or DVD player with it?

    I also noticed Burrito rocking just a wee bit, is that normal for him or was he reacting slightly to the vocalizations?

    Also, whomever sent Foxie that troll, good for you.

    Oh I wish I could know what they’re feeling while they’re watching the show. Thank you so much for posting the video, Diana, and so late at night! You were our “Santa” ~ bringing us our favorite gifts 🙂

    2009 most certainly rings in a whole new, wonderful future for the Seven.

    Blessings to all,
    Shelly

    I love this!!!!! Thanks to the Santa who bought the TV and kudos to Shelly for buying the stand so that they can watch it! I just wish it was a longer video….Diana, maybe one more thats a teeny bit longer ( sorry to be greedy but this is so great!)

    I love seeing any video of the chimps and this is another good one. They are so engrossed and enjoying the video. I would love a bit longer one too but I know how busy you are and I appreciate the short one. I just love these chimps!!!!

    The tv does have a dvd player attached. This is the all about chimpanzees video that Burrito, especially, is so engrossed in: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3140269 It was a gift from Margaret and Karen to a human who is letting us borrow it for the chimps. I do have a video that’s a bit longer that I’ll share soon 🙂

    Burrito’s rocking is a sign that he’s intensely interested in something. They don’t seem to react more to the vocalizations in the video than other parts of it – it’s all interesting!
