Henry's Update

Your bestie Henry is doing well this fall! The sanctuary has been buzzing with seasonal fun as the weather cools, from pumpkins and trick-or-treat bags to fresh fall forage and produce.

Henry continues to be the most perfect boy in the entire world (but of course, you already know that)! He recently had a change of scenery and some new neighbors, and he was thrilled to move back to the action of his usual play space, where he has a tall perch that’s perfect for people-watching alongside his besties, TJ and Nicole.

Since joining a larger group more than a year ago, Henry has grown in so many ways socially. At first, he had a little trouble figuring out where he fit in, but his groupmates have been accommodating, and TJ and Nicole have taken him under their wings as fellow “sanctuary watchers.” All three love to perch high on their play structure and spy on neighbors and staff alike.

Henry has also kept up with his positive reinforcement training, and he’s one of the few chimps in his group who uses sticks as tools to work his puzzle feeders more effectively.

Sweet boy that he is, Henry never fails to blow “raspberry kisses” to his caregivers when they stop by (partly so he can ask for an extra treat or snack). Lately, his favorites have been corn on the cob, coconuts and ice treats!

Because of you, Henry is living the chimp life to the fullest. As we head into the holiday season, we’re so grateful you’re in his corner. Thank you for being his best friend!
