"Mischievous is the best word to describe Onyx. Her whole group excels as Positive Reinforcement Training -- so much so that they help new staff to get ready to train with other chimps. But when one caregiver finally had her big test, Onyx came up and acted like she didn’t know a thing! She acted as if she had never trained before and pretended that she didn’t know anything! She is so smart and definitely knew that she was being a mischievous little trouble-maker."

At Chimp Haven, the chimps have their meals hand-delivered to them by their caretakers, and staff builds a menu that ensures they receive the balanced diet that they need to live a healthy lifestyle.

To start the day, the retirees get a feast of fruit, leafy vegetables, ground vegetables, and non-leafy vegetables, but sometimes seeing a favorite food in their meal will distract the chimps from anything else being offered.

If you can't tell, oranges are one of Pearl's favorite foods. 🐵🍊 ... See MoreSee Less

All of Chimp Haven's forested habitats have "termite mounds" crafted to give the chimps opportunities to work on their tool use and practice skills they would use in the wild.

Every chimp has their own technique and reaction to finding the termite mound filled with treats – some will quickly grab sticks to start fishing out the goodies, while others might call the group over to see what they've discovered.

When Alex realized there was apple sauce in the termite mound he didn't call out to his friends or waste any time, he doubled down on the treats using both hands to scoop up as much as possible before anyone else tried to join in! ... See MoreSee Less
