Chimp ID: Terry
It seems to have been a while since the last time we did a Chimp ID from the new group. So who better to pickup where we left off than with Terry! Terry is by far the “floofiest” of the bunch. It’s took the point where sometimes we have difficulty in determining if he is…

Today was a somewhat busy day. While we humans were making progress cleaning enclosures in the morning, we were thwarted by two holdouts by the time the afternoon rolled around. Now I won’t mention names, but… *ahem* *ahem* While it’s pretty easy to work around when certain somebodies holdout, it just adds a little more…

Throughout the day, as I was taking photos, almost every photo I took seemed like a missed opportunity. The day was the perfect day for photos with the sun not too bright and slight overcast at points. But every time I released the shutter, everybody would turn their heads. It was something I initially didn’t…
Read MoreJamie’s Boots and a Scarecrow Murder Mystery
Before I begin, let’s play a game! Who killed the scarecrow? If you look closely, there is a hint. Be sure to think about it as you continue reading on. The answer will be revealed at the end! Last week, I received a new pair of Xtra-Tuf boots. After a year and many miles put…
Read MoreFall Vibes
Fall is starting to set in real nicely here in the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures are nice and the days are sunny for the most part. We do have some rain in the forecast that is supposed to last some time. So to take advantage of this nice sunny mid-60º weather today, Jody’s group had one…

As the temperatures begin to drop, Jamie’s group have been waiting a little while before going onto Young’s Hill in the morning, but not too long. Well… Almost everybody in her group… One of the first things we do when we arrive at the Chimp House is to do a security check to give the…
Read MoreWhat A Day Pt. II
Today was another day! Yesterday, Cy, Lucky, Willy B, and Honey B met all together and even had a sleepover together. Overall, the sleepover went well. So today we decide to let Rayne and Mave partake the meetings. There were some ups and downs with the six(!) chimpanzees. We ultimately decided to just let them…
Read MoreStopped to Smell the Roses
Today was a busy day! It took us a little longer than usual to clean because as J.B. mentioned a few days ago, somebody (I won’t mention any names) held out in allowing us to close off areas so we could clean them. Though we were eventually able to close them off to clean later…
Read MoreWhat A Day
Whew! What a day! When we arrive in the morning, we never know what kind of day it will be. This is why we expect most scenarios that can arise and try to be prepared for them. After we got done cleaning all the enclosures, we were prepared to start the introduction process for today.…
Read MoreCSNW (Lip)SmackDown
As mentioned last week, chimpanzees produce several different noises while they’re grooming. Lip smacking, blowing raspberries, and teeth clacking, are among some of the sounds produced. The meeting between Cy and Willy B was perfect example of teeth clacking. For this week, I decide to let you hear some of the other noises in the…
Read MoreClack of the Titans
As we continue to develop our plan to move forward with the introductions between Cy’s Group and Willy B’s Group with two-on-twos, we are continuing with the one-on-one introductions between group members in the meantime on a varied schedule. Today, both titans met for the second time today. When the doors opened between them, Cy…
