Laws of Motion

First, as an update, we are 20% to our goal on the Giving Day for Apes fundraiser and about halfway to receiving those matching funds pledged by Donna. Big, big thanks to everyone who has donated and helped us get this far! We are still eyeing that 10:00 -11:00 a.m. PT Power Hour on October 3rd to compete in the most donations raised during that hour. Are you with us?!

There are so many opportunities for scientific discovery here at the sanctuary. As I was watching the chimpanzees forage today, I pondered two immutable laws of motion that Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest operates upon.
#1: Burrito Chimpanzee in motion tends to stay in motion:
#2: While Negra Chimpanzee at rest tends to stay at rest:
Bonus paparazzi photos I took of Terry very stealthily absconding with one of two coconuts that were part of The Bray forage today. He played it sooooo cool.

Oh geez, Burrito and Negra, that’s so true! It is also very funny. And speaking of funny, these photos of Mr. Motion made me laugh. Burrito has his own style of athleticism!
Lucky Terry finding the coconut. It pays to climb the towers!
I am definitely more Negra than Burrito!!!
Some times Negras expression when she sees the camera looks like – Yes?? What??
Neggie laying down reminds me of those renaissance paintings of Greek goddesses. All she needs are some grapes and a goblet of wine and she’s set. Very regal.
Of course, Burrito is always in motion. He’s like the Energizer Bunny. And I’m glad Terry secret snagged himself a coconut. 😉
