Let it snow?
January 9, 2022 by Sam -
No, just kidding don’t let it snow anymore. At least right now! I grew up in Ohio so I’m used to snow, but this much snow? Not so much. Living in the Georgia mountains the past couple years I kept saying how much I missed being around snow. I think I just got more snow than what I asked for. At least it’s beautiful to look at and the chimpanzees are still enjoying all of their snow snacks.
Like the blog yesterday (What Now?) mentioned, the chimpanzees are making good use of their Greenhouses! The heaters are keeping them pretty warm and the sun was out for most of the day, so it was a good day to be out there. Here are some photos from how the chimpanzees spent their time in the Greenhouses.
Annie seemed very comfortable in her nest.
Missy on the move!
On the other side of the building Cy was looking very majestic in the Greenhouse.
Of course Lucky was too.
Rayne was peering down at me from the mesh above. This square is here so we can see while we operate a door between the Greenhouses.
In the other Greenhouse Willy B was hard at work on the hanging Frisbee puzzles his group got as enrichment for the afternoon.
While most others were in the Greenhouses, Honey B and I were playing a game of chase. She kept stopping by this window because normally we would run outside of the building and meet her there.
This is what the outside of the window looks like today!
Bonus photo from today: Rayne in a box!

Sam I have been thinking about how hard it’s going to be for you guys to play Chase for weeks! I imagined all of those windows were blocked up and there was not a good safe space to run up-and-down stairs and along the sidewalks! Continue to stay warm!
ooh. I love the Missy pic.
:blue_heart:
Well, I love all the pics, but Missy captivated me today
what’s a frisbee puzzle? anyone?
Hi, Paulette!

Ha! I almost wrote “what’s a frisbee puzzle? Linda?”. LOL
Thank you
I was thinking peanut butter might be involved 😉
:laughing::laughing:
The photos are always a joy. Todays set are wonderful!?????
There’s a certain romance to snow until you have to shovel it, and shovel it, and shovel it.
Missy has winter wisdom: keep moving to stay warm! Enjoyed all the photos, thank you Sam. I just adore Willy B. And the thought of Honey B waiting by the window for her game of chase with you is just too much.
How are the bovines dealing with all this snow?
Cy looks so much like his sister Lucky in that picture! <3
I really enjoyed the blog & all of the photos. I can’t believe how much snow! The chimps seem pretty content to be inside.
