Chimp Activities
June 15, 2021 by Sam -
Today the chimp house was a little busier than yesterday. We are making sure the two new Greenhouses are in order and ready for chimps soon! While waiting for some maintenance things to be completed we found Jamie and Burrito engaging in a long play session. I love hearing chimp laughter. To me, it is one of the best sounds in the world and always brings a smile to my face. There was lots of laughter today, as I saw Burrito playing with Foxie and Annie too.
I checked in on the three to see what they were up to and found Mave and Willy B in a grooming session. I’m still learning so much about Honey B, Willy B, and Mave. I didn’t work with them while I was an intern here, so I have been trying to get to know them better and learn more about their personalities.

It makes me smile to see them laugh, play, eat, run and party too! 🙂 Thank you so much for these videos, the chimps truly cheer me up. ?
I love chimp laughter, too, Sam! Thanks for the video! Never thought we’d see Jamie playing with Bubba like that!
did we make the $110,000 for the trip…?
Maybe $5000 short, before auction items?
Thanks for the video & nice pictures. It was fun to hear the chimp laughter. It does definitely bring a smile to your face.
What a couple of goofballs! Burrito makes everyone laugh. But wow, that brow-ridge-fist-grab-fingers-in-the-eye move of his needs a warning label “Do not try this at home”. : )
I think this budding friendship is simply the best. Thanks for capturing it for us.
I thought that was pretty daring of him,too, Kathleen
Ah, the ever-elusive Jamie play face. Good work, Bubba, in getting a laugh and a smile out of the Chief Executive pan Troglodyte.
Hey Anamaria, I hear you. The chimps always bring me joy. I look forward to them every day. No matter what’s happening in my life or in my family or in the world, the chimps swell my heart and put a smile on my face. And all of the photographers and authors of this blog bring them to life for us.
They have a huge responsibility to care for so many beings, including us. And they do a great job of it.
Love the laughter and play faces. Those are the best! And of course Bubba was bound to win over Jamie eventually – I mean he’s totally irresistible!
