I’m pretty sure that 99% of Burrito’s thoughts revolve around food, but he saves 1% for quiet contemplation.
Lost in thought

four words: ah maze ing face
I love this.
Looking especially dapper here! *great* photos, too.
Wonderful photos, JB, many thanks. He will have even more to think about when Spring arrives and he can spend more time outside enjoying the sky, space, bird song and sunshine :)
Our beautiful Burrito. The James Dean of the Chimp world.
So sweet and handsome at the same time….yes, I think he is thinking about spring when he can again be back out exploring his wonderful, new world that you all worked so hard to provide!
A beautiful , well fed, well ajusted, and a very happy one and only male chimp of the Cle Elum 7.
Perhaps in the future. a few baby chimps would be a lovely addition for the ladies to dode on, Of course I think, Jamie or Jody would claim the Alpha Mother role… Burritto would be such a sweet daddy,
Asolutely PRECIOUS..
an absolute little beauty,,
He’s a very lovely boy..
Buritto is the only BOY ,,,
and a very special boy at that.
Buritto loves his food..
I love to watch Buritto eat,
,
for Buritto,
FOOD becomes an complete EXPERIENCE of all the his senses..
I notice how he is always first at the kitchen gate,,
he becomes elated just to watch Jackie,prepare the meals,
When he gets his food plates, he tends to go to his own little spot to eat , actually thery all do,,,
, I notice he is a visual eater, he anticipates by the colors, shape and sizes.
he senses, and feels his EVERY bite,chew, and swallow,
his every spoonfull,bite,and swallow is thoroughly enjoyed, he hears every bite and crunch sound it makes, seems to me
its an endorphine explosion,,,,
every delicous bite and mouthfull is like a bubble bursting delicous flavours unto his pallate .
he smells it, he savours the taste, he hears his own chewing ,and he is so taken by it, th e crunchier the better, and all the more his little ears tweek,
Eating food, experiencing food as he does is such a delicous delight ,,
Bless his sweet little heart, yes, I love this little B-Man, He is absolutely, adorable,
