Lunch To Go!
November 12, 2022 by Sofia -
Join us for lunch with the chimpanzees from Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest! On today’s menu, gold potatoes, broccoli, and bananas. You’ll notice that some of them opt to grab a portion of their food and move to other areas in the enclosure to feast. Then, when they are done with that portion, they come back to get the next one. Jamie usually grabs her food and moves to the window of the greenhouse to have her portion. Others have their favorite spots by the caging, like Cy. He likes to grab his food by the caging of Lupine playroom, where he stays until the entire meal is done.

So good to see the 7, thanks, Sofía!
Astounding the way they go through the banana peels!
Jamie still has that cough!?
I was curious about that cough too. I hope Jamie is Okay.
I am always game to join in and watch at mealtime! Love the sounds.
You wrote “Cy likes to grab his food by the caging of Lupine playroom, where he stays until the entire meal is done.” Geez, well this just makes me love him all the more.
Hearing that cough, and knowing that non human primates have no natural immunity to human diseases like the common cold got me thinking.
I know your staff do everything you can to protect the chimps, such as wearing face coverings, but do chimps in sanctuaries etc receive any vaccinations, and if not has this been considered? I am no expert in this field and I have no idea if this would be beneficial or not. Merely curious.
