Ageless Annie

This beautiful chimpanzee is turning 44 on Monday. It’s hard to believe because she never seems to age. Some of Annie’s youthful look could be attributed to the fact she occasionally spikes her hair, as seen in these photos from this afternoon (this is actually due to the unique way that she washes her face and head each day).

But I’d like to think it has something to do with living the sanctuary life.

Make sure to check back on Monday for photos and video of Annie’s birthday bash – a day filled with all of her favorite things (like sunflowers and green onions by the handful!).

    I love her mousse job! A girl just needs to follow the trends! Did you show her pictures of Cyyndi Lauper?

    How is it possible that Annie is so glamorous, and without the use of product?! Can’t wait to see the birthday festivities. Give the soon-to-be-birthday-girl my love.

    Dearest Annie is, indeed, a GORGEOUS girl…a real “trendsetter”… : )

    All I have to do is LOOK at these magnificent animals, & I instantly S-M-I-L-E…I particularly enjoy studying their body language & facial expressions…It’s ironic how you just referenced Annie’s face & head washing routine (would LOVE to see THAT) because I was just thinking how clean & well groomed the Chimps always look

      Hi Debi – There’s a link in the sentence about Annie’s face-washing that will take you to an older blog post with photos and video of her ritual.

    Annie must be the coolest chimp I’ve ever seen…. hands down!
