The conifer connoisseur
May 17, 2018 by Katelyn -
As you’ve probably seen previously on the blog, Jody is one of our most adventurous eaters. Wild greens, flowers, bamboo, she loves it all and seemingly the wilder the better!
Yesterday Anna wrote about Negra enjoying some Ponderosa pine tree browse that J.B. recently put out on Young’s Hill for the chimps to find. It took Jody mere moments to find it and haul huge branches back to the greenhouse to enjoy, in classic Jody style, while lying on her belly and taking in the view. It’s been a particularly big hit with a few of the chimps, but I think Jody has moved on to qualify as Honorary Conifer Connoisseur.
Apparently pine needles make for good wadging material:
I love the pine needle in her hair. 🙂

Thanks so much for this post. It’s so interesting and moving to learn about the individual personalities and life histories of each of the chimps. That last photo – wow.
