I did not hear one single food grunt. I love to watch Burrito, he always enjoys his food. The last bit with Missy catching the food was fun to watch. I can always count on this blog to make me smile. Thank you.
All that crunching and munching made me hungry! Burrito cracks me up when he gets his food. He seems to do a little happy wiggle!
Thank you for another great video.
I agree Gayle. I love watching Burrito with his food. He is so delighted! Thanks for the video, Elizabeth. I also like the way they all gathered a bunch of nuts before they settled in to eat them. LOL
LOL – eating raw onions with all the aplomb of eating raw apples. I’m impressed! And ya, it’s clear they like their food and their caregivers. Them’s happy chimps!!
Always LOVE your videos Elizabeth! Always lovely long ones. Thank you so much. This one is really great.
Thank you, Elizabeth! Love watching them enjoy their food especially Burrito. He gets so excited. He does look like he is doing a happy wiggle. LOL
Oh yummy! I love how they kept putting the little pieces in their their hands and then puckering up for more! So fun to watch clearly happy chimps!
I love how their lower lips and jaws are shaped. It’s very efficient for taking and storing food.
