Foraging for food and a doll

While setting up a lunch forage on Young’s Hill, the chimpanzees’ 2 acre outdoor enclosure, volunteer caregiver Patti spotted an “abandoned” French Dora doll. After some deliberation, we decided to leave the doll on the hill and see who would rescue her. Hint: the answer is in the video below.

Burrito had a hard time deciding between which to grab more of, small bell peppers or primate chow.

Jamie and Annie shared time on the treat rock foraging for cherry tomatoes (straight out of the garden), eggplant pieces, peppers and primate chow.

Negra spent time in her cabin on the hill before making her way back to the Greenhouse.

Missy never misses a chance to climb the various structures in search of food.

Don’t worry, Foxie (who has an obsession with dora and troll dolls) had her own stash of dora dolls from her birthday party yesterday!

    I think Jody’s cheeks looked as packed as her arms! Love her little smacking noises too. It is also nice hearing how Negra was enjoying her cabin today. : )

    Burrito is looking pretty good. How is he feeling? Back to normal I hope. Is he still on his Soft Food Diet?
