A model chimpanzee

Foxie has been incredibly playful ALL day. She is a joyful spirit, but for whatever the reason she’s been exceptionally exuberant and happy today. I caught her in our so called portrait studio this afternoon and she graciously allowed me to take some photos. But not without adding her signature Foxie Flair to each one. Every time I would put the camera down and look at her she’d smile at me, nod her head and laugh, and as soon as I’d bring the camera up she strike another pose. She’s pretty spectacular.

    I’ll have whatever they’re drinking! This was wonderful to watch! The Happy, Healthy, Beautiful Seven! 🙂

    She is absolutely stunning. Her personality shines through in each pose.

    Please tell me that Foxie gets to see the finished product of her photo shoot. What poise. What a beautiful face. And her hind feet clasped over each other!

    Exquisite photos Katelyn! I especially like the first and the last. Hard to believe she was cutting up between shots. I hope you showed her the end results.

    Jamie is an excellent boss. How else would you know if you are running a tight ship if you didn’t read up on the other sanctuaries! Seriously, Jamie is so fascinating to watch, love her little kiss at the end. I think she approves of Lola ya Bonobo sanctuary. I also like her boot right next to her. ???? Oh Jamie…..I love you so.

    Wow! What a post! Jamie is the most amazing chimp in the universe! I can’t believe that she so carefully turns the pages. I thought she would need board books, but what was I thinking? Not Jamie the super chimp!

    You are all so talented to capture the incredible photos and videos of the chimps that you do. These close ups of Foxie are amazing and show her beautiful spirit coming right through. Thank you.
