Crystal is our staff-selected Chimp of the Month! Robyn has been working with Crystal to keep her moving and active, and here's what she had to say about her girl:

”I have been walking with Crystal for about two years now and she still shows as much enthusiasm now as she did then. The other day we walked on a cooler day and she absolutely kicked butt! She did a light jog to a near run for three laps of her yard! Her reward is touching my boots, but she gets down to business and will break from that to continue walking. She even lets other chimps in her group join us on our walks." ... See MoreSee Less

I love this! 🏃‍♀️😉

Looking good Crystal!!

What a beautiful girl!

Crystal knows the importance of getting daily exercise! 😀

Does she only have one eye or is she winking at us?

Gorgeous Girlie ❤️XX

Go girl!

One of the best parts of watching Carlee grow are the sweet relationships she has with the other chimps in her group. In addition to mom Passion, Carlee has so many "aunties" and "big siblings" guiding her through life. They play, groom, carry, and sometimes correct her, but more than anything, it's clear they adore her.

She is so small and adorable. I know she was an oops, but I have to wonder if she brought them all just a bit closer as a big family. 💖

Great pictures If only humans got along so well

Carlee is so lucky to be raised by these sweet caring females. Every picture shows love and tenderness.❤️

I love, love, love these sweet pictures!!! Thanks for sharing them and thanks for car in for these magnificent creatures!!!

She has a better family than I have! ❤️

Awe that’s priceless 😘♥️

So nice to see them enjoying their freedom...and love for each other.

😀

Beautiful

I am going to be in your area 2/17 thru 2/20. Are there any special days that are happening at that time?

Do any of the chimps sign with the caretakers?

Everybody loves a baby!

Lovely photos

Amazing and so much hope and beauty.

A trademark of 2-year-old Carlee's personality is her new-found feistiness, which is starting to show up in all kinds of mischief:

"She thinks she's pretty tough," shared staff. "She kicks her bedroom doors to show off and recently she stole someone's spoon. She's starting to shape her mouth and attempt to do a pant-hoot, but no sound comes out, which is ridiculously cute. Sometimes she manages to sneak off with a whole banana for herself, which always makes us laugh because it's basically as big as she is."

Over the past year, Carlee has definitely become more brave. Many of the adolescents in Carlee's group treat her like their kid sister -- they watch out for her and are generally fascinated by everything she does.

Colony Director Michelle caught this sweet moment of Natalie keeping a watchful eye as Carlee climbed the trees in their habitat:

"She was very concerned when she saw Carlee making her way up the tree and took a post of close observation, which seemed to give Little Bit the courage she needed to keep going and going…"

At the end of the video, you can see Carlee's mom, Passion, never too far away.

We can't celebrate Carlee without also celebrating her mom, Passion. Although Carlee is testing her independence these days, it's all thanks to Passion, who is a laid-back chimp and a wonderful, caring mother. Passion stays close with a watchful eye, but is also comfortable hanging back as little Carlee tests out just how feisty and adventurous she's ready to be. Carlee is not Passion's only daughter. Her older daughter, Arden (Carlee's half-sister), was born on the same day as Carlee, eight years prior!
