A relaxing Sunday

All sixteen chimpanzees have been roasting in the sun like tater tots today. Everywhere we looked, someone was snoozing in the sunshine in the greenhouses and the chute, or just taking in this beautiful autumn day in between naps. I think everyone is enjoying a relaxing Sunday after all the hullabaloo and excitement of intros during the last week.

These are obviously not great photos, but I couldn’t help but include Gordo resting so peacefully in his sun puddle:

Terry!

    Thanks. Katelyn! Happy Sunday!
    Does Lucky have the same habit of pulling out her belly hair that The Boss has?

      Hi Linda,
      No, she just has sparser hair on her belly.

      That ? is supposed to be a heart.

        I got the question mark for the red heart, too, but the other colors show correctly.

    I could look at photos of the sixteen all day long. This batch is excellent!

    Sam must be a good dancer, our queen looks very pleased. (I’m adding this photo to my book of Negra in her happy place!)

      I trust that Her Royal Majesty deigned to respond to the dance recital with some head-bobs of approval.

      She does indeed look amused!

    Hey Katelyn.
    That made me laugh outloud….Sam dancing for the Queen, while her Royal Majesty stays right where she is….in het comfortable nest. Why get up if you don’t want to?
    Great photo’s and those of Gordo makes my heart sing.
