Tess: Easy Cleaning



A sliding door has been put between the big room of the big guys and Shege’s enclosure next door. A preferable alternative to the 7 chimps sleeping with the big guys and not being able to escape if necessary. Cherif and Gentil might not be too happy having their space invaded… But the sliding door has solved the problem. Shege is now in with Kalume, and the other 4 back with the babies. Yongesa has a go at Felista every other minute… I think they are establishing who is the alpha. Yongesa is turning into a little madam! Every time I walk past the cage, she cries for me to hug her. So I do. Then I have to leave and she screams at the top of her lungs, then chase the nearest chimpanzee and bites the leaving daylights out of it, causing the utmost havoc! I’m not sure she will have many alliances soon!Both the big boys seem to love the room next door, so cleaning it completed with ease nowadays. Getting them back into the big enclosure can be the problem now though!
