Burrito, Burrito Everywhere

We’re aware that some of the chimpanzees are overrepresented on this blog, while others are sadly underrepresented. The chimps vary a great deal in their sociality with caregivers and in their camera-shyness (or total lack of camera-shyness). Jamie, Burrito, and Foxie are very interactive with their human friends, so it’s usually easy to get photos of them, while Missy, Jody, Annie, and Negra are a bit more reserved.

I grabbed the camera today with the intention of getting some photos of one of the more underrepresented chimps for the blog today, but everywhere I went, there was Burrito. Sometimes you just have to give in to the inevitable.

Let us know which photo is your favorite!

    You have to love them all! But my favourite is when he’s peeking at lunch – he has pure pleasure in his eyes. ????

    I know Burrito loves food but the “kicking back” photo looks like he is sure having a lot of fun!

    Lunch prep and kicking back are my two favorite. I love pictures of them all snuggled up in nests…it makes me so happy when I think back to the hard steel floors they had most of their lives. Do you REALLY put out 70 blankets every day. You must have some wash load. UGH

      Yes, laundry is a neverending task!

    Place face and peeking at lunch are my faves here. He is so photogenic. Love you, Mr B!

    He’s such a cutie pie! Who could resist that face?
