Foxie and Jamie have had some pretty epic play sessions lately, but they’re not the only ones in good moods…

again as always, thank you so much for sharing the chimpsters with us (me!) … it is always one of the big lifts in my day …
ROTFL! Negra just laughing away with JB! So sweet. 🙂
This is one of the most beautiful videos ever! Thank you Jackie. I really like the behavioral explanations too. Such a sweet interaction between JB and Negra.
I agree with you Leslie, I can’t wait to see what they did for the day. It was great to see Jody involved in play with Missy, now if I can just see her run a little bit. Seeing Negra climb through the rooms like that to play with J.B. was wonderful to see, that’s a lot of action for her today, way to go Negra. The interactions taped have been with J.B., does she have a sweet spot for J.B. or does she interact with the other staff members?
I love it when they wrestle with each other. Makes me laugh every time. Negra’s face making with J.B. was priceless.
Thanks (again!) Jackie for letting all of us be a part of it too!!
I’m love-sighing….again! I DO think Negra has a little soft spot in her heart for J.B. and I love how she sits with crossed arms. Such a show of contentment. It was fun to see Burrito in action! Thanks, Jackie!
ditto! ditto! ditto! ooh Negra what a joy to see you having fun!
I wonder…do caregivers get lost and speak Chimp to other humans? 🙂 is Chimp fur/hair silky? like human hair? coarse? wirey? Are their fingers smooth skin-like? leathery?
Wonderful video, as always. The first thing I do when I wake up is check ths site for news and videos! I love to hear the chimps laughing, and to see them so carefree.
I’m just catching up on the happenings at CSNW. (Been getting home late and tired the last few weeks and dropping into bed) I didn’t realize how much I counted on the videos/photos to make me smile at the end of the day. This video is one of my many favorites.. Negra with her crossed arms laughing with JB – just beautiful!!!
p.s. How do you guys manage to get any work done??? I wouldn’t be able to break away from watching the Seven play, sleep, eat, etc.!!!
Negra and J.B. playing and laughing is absolutely priceless! I love seeing Burrito having fun playing too. Spring is in the air it seems!
looks like love to me (negra for jb)
I just love watching these chimps enjoy life @ CSNW. You guys are awesome.
This video ends with a shot of Negra, and it remains on the screen, when the video stops. I scrolled down and looked at the “before” picture, and she looks bad, but it’s the look in her eyes that make me want to shed a few tears. I look at the “before” pictures of all of them and I’m really happy that those seven chimps, that arrived at CSNW two years ago, no longer exist. That brings a smile to my face!
Oh Jackie! Thank you again for a wonderful video. The laughter and antics are great. I loved seeing Burrito play and laugh. And yes, Negra always tugs at my heart. What joy they bring and receive these days. Thanks everyone!
I like Negra’s laid back way of playing and even Buritto, who didn’t look like he wanted to play at first, couldn’t stop laughing. Happy chimps = happy day.
