Marcus loves learning and showing off his skills at Positive Reinforcement Training with his trainer, but only when it fits his schedule! Animal Care Specialist Ellen shares, "Marcus loves to train if he’s ready to, but trying to convince him to train is a different story. He's a very busy guy and has a lot to do in his group. He is always preoccupied with anything from napping, to playing, or even working on his social standing. Marcus is probably going to be alpha, so he prioritizes hanging out with the other guys in his group and making sure he stays on good terms with all of the ladies." ... See MoreSee Less

Cooler weather = longer afternoon happy hours!
Now that the days are cooling down a bit, the chimps love spending extra time down by the waterfront of their habitats playing with their friends, patrolling, and taking relaxing naps on the cabanas. 🌲🌊😴 ... See MoreSee Less

I donated! Thank you for all you do.

Do you all have any "power hours" or should we just donate whenever?

Can you text us when you have these?
