Keeping Fit

Boss Jamie does frequent patrols of the perimeter of the chimps’ outdoor habitat to make sure everything is on the up and up. These patrols happen multiple times each day, and most of the time Jamie prefers for a caregiver or three to accompany her (and sometimes some of the other chimps tag along also). A walk around the hilly 2-acre habitat is good exercise for everyone involved, but occasionally Jamie pushes us to go a little faster.

    Oh what a wonderful way to spend the day. But I think that uphill part might be a little trying! Love it!

    Running is one thing, but running in cowboy boots is an entirely different thing. How do you guys do it?!

      Cowboy boots that don’t fit! Blisters anyone?

    Every time we see the chimps on the hill, our hearts skip a beat! So much fun to see the staff participate in chimpercise classes!
