Missy seemed to be having a great time working on a food puzzle this morning. Chimpanzees engage in solitary play quite often, but I can’t remember seeing anyone smile so much in the process.

    Great video JB! Did she go and get the kong toy after it flew out?

    Thanks, J.B. for the laugh! I got so tickled at Missy and her strategies for getting the peanuts. She looked a bit disgusted when it flew out and hit the floor…LOL. What a goof!

    So, we all want to know, did Missy finally get her peanuts? Need to know.

    Yes, Missy did retrieve the Kong after it fell from the catwalk, and she did manage to get most, if not all, of the peanuts out.
