Part of being a Level II volunteer at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest is working towards passing identification tests for all of the chimpanzees.

We have some new interns from Central Washington University’s Primate Behavior and Ecology Program right now who are working on their id skills.

Something about helping with id today got a song stuck in my head…

 

Here’s Jody’s…

…. what do you think? Could you id Jody now?

 

Actually, a few years ago, Elizabeth did some blog posts for each of the chimpanzees to help blog readers with id that are probably much more helpful – check them out if you’re interested!

    I agree with Dalyce, Jody has a lovely gentle face.

    Can caregivers actually identify a chip by their knees and toes?!

      It would be an interesting test for us. I suspect toes would be easier than knees.
