It’s important to have priorities in life, and the chimpanzees at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest are good at deciding what is top priority (usually food) and what is a close ranking second, as you’ll see in the video below.

Here’s what the back of the lower mount for the GoPro camera looks like. I caught this photo last week of Annie standing next to it. The steel mount, custom made by J.B., has a hinge and opens up to slip the camera in and then has a padlock to secure it.

    I love the food grunts and squeaks while they are eating. You would think they would get used to the cameras being there and ignore them. Too smart!

    Annie was just hoping she would receive a tool set for her birthday so she could get at that darn GoPro once and for all. I can see her wheels spinning.

    Annie thinking “I’ve got to figure out how to get this darn thing open”

    Burrito seems interested in the food.
