Great Morning

It was a great morning to go outside! All the chimps were out playing on the structures, walking the perimeter, foraging for foliage, or if you were Negra you were still in bed.

Missy started her morning with some tight rope walking:

And she was feeling pretty good about it:

Burrito spent a lot of his morning following Annie around:

Annie pretended not to notice Burrito, and enjoyed some slices of grapefruit:

I found Burrito under the bridge watching the ladies from below:

Annie on the platform, Missy on the fire hose, and Burrito underneath:

Once they were off the Hill, Missy (left) and Annie (right) decided to groom:

Missy laid down, and Annie kept grooming:

Foxie (front) and Jody (behind) decided to walk most of the perimeter of the Hill until they both got distracted by foliage and climbing structures:

This blanket lump is actually Negra. She was too comfy to get out of bed:

Jamie spent her morning going on a walk, and later laying on a barrel with some of her beloved boots. She had to supervise the volunteers while they cleaned:

    No surprise seeing Negra loving the Earth Rated blankets. Hee hee hee. (She now looks just like the shelter dogs I spend time with.) Always wonderful seeing everyone doing exactly what they want to do. Life in sanctuary is good!

    Did Negra get up to eat her breakfast before the others went out? Love these chimps!

      Hi Lisa! Breakfast is very important to Negra, she would never miss it! If anything she has to tell us to hurry up. 🙂

    I’m with Negra. I LOVE sleeping, especially napping in a sunny room.

    Tell me, the chimps spend so much time outdoors, including in tall grasses, Are they affected by ticks?
