September 5th, 2010 by ElizabethJamie is very human-oriented. She is always interested in what the humans in her home are doing and how they’re doing it. Out of the Cle Elum Seven chimpanzees, Jamie is the most likely to sit and watch while we work on a construction project, fix a mechanical problem, or scrub the playroom. It’s no surprise, then, that she participates when she can.

September 1st, 2010 by ElizabethGrooming
August 31st, 2010 by J.B.Missy and Annie spent some time grooming on the platform outside this afternoon. It had just started to sprinkle, so Missy covered herself up with a blanket to stay dry.
When chimps find something good during grooming (usually a piece of dead skin), they will often inspect it. Here, Annie is holding out her lower lip to check something out.
Karen’s Honorary Birthday Party
August 30th, 2010 by JackieWe love you, Karen! :)
Happy (late!) Birthday Karen!
August 30th, 2010 by SarahYesterday was a special day for one of our favorite and longest standing supporters – Karen! Karen, we love you more than we can say and we’re so grateful for how much you add to the chimps’ (and humans’) lives! I was having ’issues’ yesterday and didn’t get anything posted, but was thinking about you! In your honor we had a big festival of fun and challenging enrichment – we hung food and drinks from hooks outside the fencing and gave the chimps tools to get them inside. Jamie, Jody, Annie and Missy worked particularly hard at solving these problems, and everyone enjoyed the treats. Video from yesterday will hopefully come later today!
