    Good way to be able to check their vitals.

    This is wonderful, to see that they trust a human outside the cage prodding and poking, without fear. Do you do complete exams once a year?

    WOW!! The chimps have come a long way in the trust area. It is such a joy to see the relationship they have with you. I love the positive reinforcement program. You guys rock!!!
