For the big Christmas celebration yesterday, Diana, Elizabeth, and Seana put out some tangerines on Young’s Hill in addition to the ones strung on the Christmas tree. However I guess the chimps were too excited about the big party inside that they didn’t really go out and forage for the tangerines yesterday. So today, they were still hanging out there, frozen for sure. I decided to leave them because I know how excited the chimps get about frozen fruit. Turns out that Jamie was pretty much the only one willing to brave the cold for any length of time, so she ended up with lots frozen tangerines to herself!

Foxie quickly came out and grabbed one tangerine while Jamie was working on some by the bamboo:

Jamie decided to eat her collection in the warmth of the greenhouse.

    Wise decision to bring the goodies in to eat! What fun for them to make a quick run though.

    how cool is it (no pun meant) that the chimpsters can CHOOSE to go out or stay in … what a wonderful gift all who are involved w/CSNW have given these smart beings … CHOICE!

    You guys do a great job of keeping them all busy, hunting for food. As we can all see , they LOVE it..
