Jamie and Foxie’s wild play

The chimpanzees all have different comfort levels when it comes to intensity of play. Jody and Negra, for example, engage in play less frequently and less boisterously than some of the other chimps. When Foxie and Jamie get together, though, they completely let loose. There’s lots of stomping, slapping, and (play) biting. This morning they spent about 20 minutes running around the playroom like maniacs.

    That was quite a romp…lol. I see Foxie didn’t let go of her troll in the bag. I could watch them play for hours.
