Captive chimps, like their free-living counterparts, build new nests each night, sometimes multiple nests in a day. So in case anyone is wondering, we're not stealing anyone's prized nest :) Gayle - It depends on the individual, but it can take 10 minutes or longer to get a nest just right. Often you will see them get close to finishing, and then tear everything apart and start over. Steph – Yes, all toys and blankets get cleaned and disinfected daily.

Do you dismantle them when you clean the rooms? Maybe you can save one for an auction item next year! (just kidding!). Great picture and lovely description – reminds me of a birds nest.
