We recently discovered that the chimps are crazy about grass.  Today we picked some fresh grass from the pasture on the grounds and spread it in the chimpanzees’ outdoor enclosure.  Here are some pictures of Annie and Jody enjoying the forage.  Unfortunately, the pictures were not able to capture Annie’s delighted food squeaks.

And here are a couple of pictures of JB serving lunch outside yesterday.  The second one is a complete family photo!
