Foxie
Thursday, July 29th, 2010A chimp and a monkey
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010The chimps seem to have a love/hate relationship with stuffed animals. Stuffed monkeys and apes, in particular, tend to get their insides ripped out quickly and somewhat violently. Sometimes, though, if they have that ineffable quality, they are granted a temporary reprieve and become snuggle partners.
Volunteer Stephanie P. and her niece Sara donated this giant monkey to the chimps, and he/she is still “alive” and kicking, against all odds.
Update on Alamogordo chimpanzees
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010Please see our July 16th post, Chimpanzees to be moved for research, for the background information on this story.
Fifteen chimpanzees have already been moved from the Alamogordo Primate Facility (APF) to the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in Texas, but we cannot give up. The chimpanzees need us to speak out for them.
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson has issued a press release asking the NIH to permanently retire all of the APF chimpanzees, return the 15 chimpanzees that have already been sent to Texas and convert the Facility into a sanctuary.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has made it easy for everyone to contact the NIH about this urgent issue. Please see the HSUS action alert, take action and share with your friends today.
You can keep updated on the campaign to retire the APF chimpanzees by following Animal Protection of New Mexico on their website and their Facebook page.
To nest or to play?
Monday, July 26th, 2010Burrito and Missy have so much fun together! They played this particular game for nearly an hour this morning.
CSNW Caregiver Exercise Program
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Next to Missy, Burrito and Foxie are probably CSNW’s biggest goofs (chimp-wise, anyway) and balancing games of chase between the two of them can be quite a workout. I couldn’t ask for better personal trainers. :)
Troll dolls resting

and troll dolls aren’t just for Foxie these days, here’s Negra resting with a doll. Maybe she’s trying to figure out what the fuss is all about
Summer Loungin’
Friday, July 9th, 2010Yesterday was hot, hot, hot here in Cle Elum, so the chimps spent quite a bit of time lounging around their indoor playroom. As you can see, Jamie is still rarely caught without a pair of cowboy boots (notice she has one by her head and another in her hip pocket).
There’s really nothing like a kiss from Negra :)

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010Cute chimps!
Friday, July 2nd, 2010The weather has been so wonderful today! After breakfast, I caught nearly everyone out in the greenhouse either grooming or resting. We have some pretty cute chimps here at CSNW. :)
