There’s one item that’s part of any self-respecting Pacific Northwest chimpanzee’s diet.

    Love the snow! Great pictures, thanks for the smiles on a wintery day.
    Hugs for all at the sanctuary.

    Annie’s face in the top photo looks like some people when they eat ice cream!
    I know some of these are recycled, but did you bring some inside today fro them? How nice of you! Better get Foxie’s warm tea going……

    By the way, this would be a great (tough) series for the new employees to play “guess that chimp”!

    You should pour some juice to flavor the snow. Snow ones without the cone!!

    You throw the best parties! I wonder if there were any food grunts to be heard around that
    red tub full of snow and trolls?

    Who knew looking at the family album of snow could be so much fun! First scroll through all the images I was focusing on the snow in their mouth but on a second pass it was the sparkle in their eyes that filled me with sheer delight. And what’s better than a party of hairless troll dolls stuck in snow inside a sandbox table?!

    Just heard that you got quite a lot of snow this week. We sent it from the East coast. I am sure glad to see the Chimps enjoying it so much. Great pictures.

    When I saw the headline, I just knew it had to be snow! It’s a joy how adaptable these chimpanzee people are to such a foreign environment.
