Foxie frequently rubs her toes together. I don’t think we’ve shared any video of this on the blog before. It is one of Foxie’s many endearing habits.
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!

CSNW
I think it’s a sign of her contentment. She is such a beautiful chimp. I love looking at their feet and Foxie likes to use her feet as much as her hands. I just love her!
I love her feet. She is self soothing and caressing herself. Makes me love her all the more.
It’s always her left foot too.
That is so sweet! Sort of like a baby that’s content while drinking a bottle and twirling their hair. CSNW has made all the chimps verrrrrrrrrry happy!!
Linda, I love your comment about being content. As soon as I read it I said to myself ” Yea, that is it!” Foxie, you are adorable no matter what you do!! I could watch you for hours.
Am I just missing where it is or do you all post who wrote and posted the photos?
Happy Feet!!!
