To Each Her Own

Missy and Negra are good friends, but they are opposites in a lot of ways. Missy is petite and athletic; Negra is large and round. Missy is always on the move; Negra is usually napping under a blanket. Missy is social and outgoing; Negra likes her alone time.

Today after lunch Missy headed outside to Young’s Hill for some sprints (Jamie in the background):

and some time with best friend Annie:

At the same time, Negra took advantage of the warm, quiet playroom for an afternoon siesta:

It brings us so much joy to be able to give these chimps the space and freedom to make their own choices, do what they like, and be who they are.

    Oh Negra, I love an afternoon nap to. I never tire of seeing them in their new life – thank you for all you do for them!

    Negra likes it when the others go outside. She can have some quiet time

    Nothing like a peaceful nap!
