National Relaxation Day
August 15, 2023 by Chad -
Today is National Relaxation Day! According to the Economic Times, National Relaxation Day is observed to “encourage individuals to slow down and unwind.” Though chimpanzee life can be very chaotic and dramatic, they all find some time throughout the day to let their hair down and relax. It’s all about balance, right?
In homage to National Relaxation Day, please enjoy some photos of the chimpanzees in relaxation mode!
Honey B taking a quick nap after her play session with Lucky.
Foxie taking a rest after breakfast.
Gordo taking a breather after returning from the Bray.
Burrito taking a break in his Greenhouse (though I am convinced he was playing because seconds later he had caregivers playing chase).
Dora enjoying the shaded part of the Chute.
And as you might have guessed, right next to her is Mave.
Willy B taking advantage of the large fan in the front room area on a hot day.
And of course, the Queen of Relaxation, Queen Negra.
We hope you are able to find some time to get your relaxation in today!

LOVE those babies ! Watching the videos makes me smile, ESPECIALLY on a bad day. Love the photos and blog.
I am just now, chatting on the phone with friends and thinking about getting dinner.
Still can’t believe Honey B sleeps!
Interesting angle on the Gordo pic,Chad!
Have a good night!

OOOOPS wasn’t wearing my glasses…… I think that was Honey B hanging:flushed::hugging:

Top photo? Pretty sure it’s Gordito, though I could be wrong.
The top photo is *drum roll* Lucky! It’s an older photo I posted on the blog way back in January 2022.
Ha ha, those chimps sure know how to relax not just on this special day but any day! Mind you I do hope you as caregivers and staff manage a little relaxation time as well as keeping your eye on the ball. Loved the photos and thanks for sharing.
It’s good to know everyone is taking today’s holiday seriously. But like you pointed out, Chad, Burrito might be gearing up and not settling down. What a funny guy!
Great photos, thanks. I especially like seeing my pal Willy B taking it easy. Hope you get to relax as soon as you get home. You’ve earned it.
PS: the link states that Sean Moeller founded National Relaxation Day, but we all know the real founder was Negra. Just look at her. Don’t you instantly feel relaxed? And happy. Sigh, that’s the power of HRH.
Honey B taking a quick nap??? I think perhaps she just blinked when you took the photo!:wink:
