It’s still amazing for the humans to see the chimpanzees on the two-acre hill, so we’re often silent too as we watch…

    JUST before you made the comment on the video, the thought popped into my head about them being their own troop in the wild. Weird! My only thought was it would be great to see Foxie carrying her troll dolls through the forest with her! Love the updates, they always make me smile!

    I love when the “sound of silence” has so much to say.

    Diana — I felt a sense of the sacred when I was there, before Young’s Hill even. I experienced the same feeling the first time I visited The Elephant Sanctuary. It’s something about sanctuary — what you are doing there is sacred.

    And, I’m sorry, but it cracks me up to think of Foxie showing Dora the Explorer around the wild. 😉

    There is a serene sacredness to a sanctuary, Youns Hill still does envelope all the chimps in to quiet and peaceful dynamics. It does give them a window of being in the wild, They KNOW it. and can show it too. Its so wonderful for the chimps to have all of waht you give them. Thank You,Diana,for alwys outrdoing yourself with every video for us to enjoy.
