Happy Bunny Day

The chimps are having a great day thanks to their extended human family. The always stellar Robbi made wonderful Easter goodie bags filled with new toys and volunteers Stephanie and Katelyn arrived this morning with all sorts of edible treats. We stuffed plastic eggs with nuts and berries and scattered them around the greenhouse instead of serving breakfast, so the chimps spent all morning foraging and snacking. Supporters Lisa and Crystal Grillo have a tradition of making great food on this day and wanted to share that tradition with the chimps, so dinner is on them! Food grunts to Lisa and Crystal!

    Thoroughly enjoyed the photos, as always I wish I could be there, but this is the next best thing.

    This question is out of left field, again, but I love what the chimps can do with their prehensile lips. Now I understand why they have a deep pouch in their lower jaw but what do their prehensile lips do for them. Now in your March 2, 2011 blog we could see how Jody got those sunflower seeds out of the sunflower, any other advantages?
