The chimps never seem to tire of eating snow. Sitting here in the kitchen, I hear food grunts and squeaks every 5 minutes or so as someone returns from the outdoor area with a giant snowball.
Welcome to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest's blog! The sanctuary is currently home to seven chimpanzees released from biomedical research. This group, the Cle Elum Seven, arrived at the sanctuary on June 13, 2008. We post photos, stories, videos and more to this blog almost everyday, so visit often! Also, visit us on social networking sites (see links below).

Gosh, a video of Mr. B ending the year and a photo of Mr. B to begin the new year. I’m happy!
I love the snow but not the cold. We don’t get snow often in my hometown but when it does snow, it’s gorgeous! I have even made snow cream. Do you think the chimps would like a treat of snow cream? Adapted to their diet of course. I blended strawberries in mine and it was delicious!
P.S. I just love that picture of Burrito! What a great chimp!
Hi Theresa – Yes, we have made snow cream before (with fruit and soy milk). The chimps love it!
Oh JB I love the picture and then to know the chimps love snow cream! What a great way to start the New Year, especially with me being in warm San Antonio! Believe it or not, I miss the cold weather and snow!!! Thanks for the pix!
Have any of you built the chimps a snow man yet? :)
If the chimpanzees learn how to make a snowball, will a snowball fight be next ?!?
Maybe the caregivers need to be a part of the snow ball fight to show the chimps how it is done? Minus one for filming purposes. :)
