The chimpanzees are still loving their chimp-proof window. Foxie, in particular, has been hanging out near the window while we clean the playroom in the morning. Here’s a video of her and Diana goofing off.

Burrito laugh
Thursday, March 11th, 2010As some of you may know from previous blog posts (most notably, All About Burrito), Burrito doesn’t laugh too often. In fact, he sometimes bites his hand in what seems to be an attempt to keep himself from laughing. But yesterday, Foxie turned over his tickle box and he just couldn’t help himself.
Foxie is so cool.
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Foxie has a way of making everything she does look cool, whether it’s eating a carrot, watching TV, or tossing a troll doll head around.
Sun, how we’ve missed you!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010The sun has finally returned to central Washington! Today was gorgeous, with blue skies, temperatures in the high 40s, and lots of glorious sun. The beautiful weather has put all of us, human and chimpanzee, in great moods. The chimps spent much of the day playing, swinging, and laughing outside in their (very nearly completed) greenhouse.
Foxie and her adorable toes
Saturday, February 13th, 2010Foxie 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.
Sun!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010The chimps were outside bright and early this morning to welcome the return of the sun to Central Washington.
Snake!
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Given their history in captivity, the chimps here at CSNW (unlike their free-living counterparts) have probably never encountered a real snake before, but when this toy snake (see video) went out as part of their enrichment one day, they treated it with a healthy dose of caution.
Foxie nesting
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010We just caught Foxie in the playroom nesting with a blanket! Hopefully, it’s just a matter of time before she’s nesting with many blankets.
Foxie and Jamie playing with Diana
Saturday, January 30th, 2010The other day, Diana was playing chase with Foxie when Jamie decided to join in on the fun. Many of the chimps at CSNW will wear clothing when they are feeling playful. In this video, you’ll notice Jamie tying a sarong around her waist just before she invites Diana to chase her.
