Everyone knows that Queenie B is one of the expert "catchers" at the sanctuary, but lately her new group mate, Taffy, has been giving her a run for her money! Taffy and some of the other newbies are fantastic catchers, expertly snatching bananas out of the air during food toss before their friends even realize what happened. Taffy's also a classic "chimp's chimp." If she sees care staff hanging around while she and her buds are playing, they're likely to catch this "Can I help you?" look from her. She's fitting in wonderfully in her new group and gets along with everyone. Queenie B needed a little competition anyway! ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Easter from your chimp friends in Louisiana! This week our Enrichment team prepped Easter eggs for the chimps to enjoy (Robyn even added a little extra love by personalizing them). Jonah appreciated the attention to detail: He was meticulous with his egg, eating each layer very carefully until just the little, round yolk was sitting in his hand. 💚 ☀️ 🌷 ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Easter to chimps and humans. Thank you for making the eggs for them, a true labor of love. <3

I love Chimp Haven...happy Easter to human and chimps.. I'm new here but I really like this.

Caretakers you are wonderful💙

Happy Easter

Happy Easter. 🐣 🐇 thank you for providing the chimps with fun enrichment.

Oh dear. Egg laying chickens suffer terribly as they produce, machine-like, for the humans in tiny cages. This is Wrong!

Do they peel the eggs?

Happy Easter to you too!

Robyn that was such a sweet thing to do!

Their happiness make me cry.

Do they remove the shell or is it already done for them?

Hope has been working with Caregiver Hailey on Positive Reinforcement Training and is doing great in the program. But she's still social butterfly Hope! Hailey says sometimes their training sessions require quick pauses for Hope to check on her pals. The other day Spock and Austin were having a little argument while she trained -- Hope quickly walked over to take care of it, settling things down with hugs for everyone before getting back to her training. ...

Hobbes is having a great time and feeling more bold since joining a new, larger group a few weeks ago. He loves the ladies in his group, and doesn't seem to understand why his big, confident displays are not winning them over! He's also incredibly fast. Often, he'll run inside to the bedrooms, show off with a big, loud display, and run back out before the other chimps even have a chance to recognize him. "He's definitely feeling himself," says Caregiver Ellen. ... See MoreSee Less
