Comment / Question : 15 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy So are the canines of baboons bigger than those of chimps? I hope Bob stops coming around soon. Otherwise I fear there will be a fight, and Bob being a truly wild animal, I'm afraid it will be Amadeus or another chimp who end up getting hurt, superior numbers notwithstanding.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tracy, the large male baboons have very big canines used for fighting. In studies done in the wild, 50 hunts on baboons only resulted in 18 successful hunts and most of these were after the chimpanzees had herd distress calls from infant baboons.Comment / Question : 15 March 2010 - Posted by martha It was certainly a great idea to put Jessica and Charles in one room. That surely must have shored up Martha's courage. Is this troop of baboons the same ones that helped you find Josephine when she went out the roof. I think I remember you saying you heard the baboons call and then you heard Josephine hoot. I am kind of grateful to those baboons because if they hadn't been there Josephine might have gotten lost do you think? Thank you all for the notes, the answers, and the giving of your time to us humans! Bless you all for your patience.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Heelo Martha,the chimps also tend to hang about the area they know which helps,Josaphine just felt like seeing if the grass was indeed green on the other side of the fence.She fortunately was close and when we shouted and called she returned.She has never shown any tendancies since then to go on any tripsComment / Question : 14 March 2010 - Posted by Diane H Hi Phillip, just wondering if there are any upcoming rescue mission's scheduled, and if so, how many chimps and from where? Was looking at the "Rescue Blog" done by Eugene and the last entry was July 2008. Was this the last rescue mission? Also, was wondering why Eugene doesn't do updates to the blog once in a while - I know he is probably quite busy, but would be nice to hear from him what he is up to once in a while.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Diane.We dont have any rescues in the pipeline yet.The last tworescues covered on the blog was the one that I did for Martha to Ghana and Eugene to Sudan.The last animals to arrive though were Charles and Jessica from a circus/zoo in Natal,South Africa.Comment / Question : 14 March 2010 - Posted by Linda (Penna., U.S.) Hi, Chimp Eden deserves great praise. I, too, adopted Sampa only yesterday and am truely delighted with access to the member's site. The abundance of Sampa's pictures are beautiful! And the daily postings of action pictures, as well as the webcam views are captivating. Am sorry I delayed so long before joining. Thank you for this treasure.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Linda,pleased to hear that you enjoy the pictures and updates,welcome.Comment / Question : 13 March 2010 - Posted by Lin Could it be that the visitor Baboon witnessed the chimps having plenty of food and engaging in familiar types of social behavior within their group? I recall reading about an UCLA primatologist ho observed that baboon friendships were similar to Chimp friendships. Would CE be amenable to allowing this Baboon, if it continued coming back on regular basis. to actually take up residency in Amadeus’ group if that situation were ever to occur naturally with all the primate stakeholders appearing receptive in spite of the finger-long baboon's teeth?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Limit is possible but he may have stumbled in and found some leftovers. There are also fruiting shrubs and perhaps he thought the area on the other side of the fence was better. We will observe and if he stays its finalism not so sure that the chimps are to concerned at this stage but we will see.Comment / Question : 13 March 2010 - Posted by Tanis Excellent work everyone is doing at CE! It's a treat to read the observation notes, everyday after work. I adopted Sampa, and hope she's doing well.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tanis,only a pleasure.Sampa is doing just great,still keeps an eye on Tony but otherwise doing just fineComment / Question : 13 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa It's good to hear that Martha is coming in again and has settled down. Let's hope she continues this habit. Is she interacting more with the group inside or outside now or is she still somewhat distanced from them still? Poor Martha was isolated for so long it's amazing she has made progress. As for the baboon, how long do you think the adults will tolerate his presence? Is Amadeus upset that an interloper has crossed into his territory?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Theresa.Martha is inside again and seems to enjoy the company and the food! she is the mango queen inside.She now comes in before some of the youngsters so it is looking good.As for Bob,he may have moved on,we didnt see him this afternoon.I think the adults have tolerated him so far but are also very cautious of those teeth that he flashes.Comment / Question : 13 March 2010 - Posted by Gayle Seems like Bob the Baboon realizes what a great place CE is and wants to be part of the family!!!! I had no clue they were that large. Do they roam about the sanctuary freely or are they infrequent visitors??
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Gayle we have a resident troop at CE that roam about and visit farms next to us.They are nervous of people and will take off when seen,which is good as some folk do not like them.We see them regularly and some tomes they are even down at my house in the wild mango trees.Comment / Question : 13 March 2010 - Posted by Jeff I also wanted to add that Tony was the chimp I "adopted" and I really love reading about his progress.
Thanks for all the work you do.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Jeff,Tony has done vey well and has improved in leaps and bounds.Comment / Question : 13 March 2010 - Posted by Jeff Hey guys. I love the work you all are doing there. I was really happy to donate to help the chimps live a happy life. I care deeply for the safety of all chimps. I've been following the updates for a while and love reading the updates.
I was wondering however why the daily photos in the member section do not update daily or even in the past couple weeks?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Jeff,many thanks for your support and glad to hear that you enjoy the notes.If you email support@umhloti.co.za they should beable to advise re the photosComment / Question : 11 March 2010 - Posted by Lin Hi, My entry did not take the first two tries, so am trying now a third time. Do find your daily diary postings cogent and fascinating. A few questions: (a)If the pimple required medical treatment, how would you entice Nicki to cooperate? (b)When he shows caretakers his pimple now, does he allow the caretakers to touch it? Hopefully, it is healihg nicely on its own at this time. Thanks for this educational site. Lin
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Lin, depending on what is required we have various approaches to dealing with medical situations with the chimps. We are fortunate that there are many types of medication available to us to use in the form of syrup or tablets. Most of the chimps will come to the bars when called and will take their meds. I will use a number of ways to give these, this could be dissolved in fruit juice, or in peanut butter are hidden in a favorite piece of food. Depending where the problem is I am able to get a close look as the chimps do sit up close to the wire mesh and in some cases you can feel but this can be rather risky.Nikki and his little boil seem to be fine and it was looking good today so no need for any meds.Comment / Question : 11 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa The fact that captive chimps can organize a hunt and work together is in itself amazing. Do primatologists believe that hunting is also a "learned" behavior? What are your thoughts on this, Phillip?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Theresa, well now back to some of the behaviors we are seeing at CE.In the wild chimps go on the hunt in a group with mixed sexes and ages. Females with very young infants would more than likely not be involved but would be witness to a lot of the goings on. From this the young chimps will see and learn about the hunt.
At CE though a lot of our chimps were taken from the wild at a very young age so I ask if they would have been witness to any hunting parties or not and if they did not see hunting how do they know.
I have seen a number of CE chimps showing the hunting behavior and in fact today the adult group had a youngish baboon trapped in their camp. All the girls except for Lica got involved in the tree climbing and screaming and chasing as well as Amadeus and Nikky.When we called them to come up to come into the night rooms they eventually did come up but as soon as Claudette vocalised they all took off again into the tress, except for Nicky who had decided his fruit inside was better.
The rest gave up after 45 minutes and also came in for dinner.
The hunting idea is there but I could also see that they were nervous of the baboon at close quarters.
It will be of great interest to see how things develop as we go along.....
Comment / Question : 11 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy I think it's interesting that Jinga and Mimi were in on the hunt. I know Mimi and maybe Jinga have been seen holding bird carcasses, but in the wild, it's usually just the males who hunt, isn't it? Do you think the gals were included because there aren't enough males for the job, or because these two females are very dominant and butch?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tracy, in the wild chimps going on the hunt tends to be a social thing and all get involved, some the chasers and others will set up the ambush as such and catch the prey. Mimi and Jinga have grown up together and know each other very well and work as a team, I think they get involved as they want to be and don’t forget that Claudette is also a good backup.Comment / Question : 11 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy If the chimps can't get out (usually, lol), how did the baboon get in? Are there other large animals living in the enclosures (larger than bush babies or squirrels and the like)?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tracy, baboons are known to dive thru electric fences and there are also large trees about the enclosure so he could have jumped across into the enclosure. On the reserve we have some baboons that a very large and resemble large dogsComment / Question : 11 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa Phillip, Zeena was a bit of brat herself. She might let Zee get away with bad behavior like she did at times...LOL. You all sure don't need another wild child. I think since she is bigger and bolder Joao will teach her how to act. She might learn quickly that old age equals grumpy!
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Theresa, two wild children, who knows lol.Im sure Joao will keep a good hand on the situation and I’m also sure that Zac will also not stand for to much nonsense from ZeeComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by julie I was astonished to read that Nicki was squeezing his pimple all day. Good god, I thought only vain, obsessive humans did that -- I wonder how he'd spend his day if you gave him a mirror! (BTW, Do chimps get adolescent acne?)
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Julie it was right on his upper lip so he jus did what any chimp would,he squeezed it,lol.The acne Im not to sure about but they do groom each other of all sorts of thingsComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by martha It is interesting how all three groups have one "peculiar" member. Cozy and Martha in the infants and Josephine in the adult group or has Josephine pretty much settled down to being a regular chimp.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Martha makes life interesting with these characters. Josaphine has settled down a lot and is much calmer and enjoys her surroundingsComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Anonymous Inquiring minds want to know if Martha came in again? Don’t make us wait until tomorrow.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Martha did come in...... again 31 chimps in bedComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Tena Do you think they will ever show chimp eden again, I sure miss all of you, thanks for your fine work
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tena,no idea,I do know that AP does re runs but we are not given any scheduleComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Diane H Since Charlie seems to enjoy weeding so much, do you want to lend him out for a bit, as I have a garden in desperate need of weeding? lol.
Really happy to hear that Martha was happy to go inside the sleeping quarters last night. Having waited so long time for this to happen, you must have held your breath when she was finally crossing the threshold to go inside. Will keep my fingers crossed that she is starting a new pattern of sleeping indoors now. Glad to hear that your caretakers finally got to clean up the enclosure last night.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Diane,she came in again and darts over the door slide.The tractor could get in last night and the grass was cut.Comment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa I had a feeling our princess Zee would have some undesirable behaviors from being coddled and spoiled by the big guys. I hope she will get the discipline she needs before she gets bigger and turns into a bully and brat. That sweet little face can be deceptive. LOL.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Theresa,Im sure with time things will be sorted out.Shes a growing girl and also needs to test the water.Never forget the wild child Zena to have some control lolComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy Ah, now we see the fruits of having allowed Princess Zee to get away with murder all this time. Do you think the adults will now start to reprimand her more severely and more often, or do you think they'll continue to spoil her rotten? I think she needs a correction or two... or three, or....
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tracy I’m sure chimpanzee politics will soon kick in and training will come into play. As I was commenting to Theresa, the wild child Zena as we call her will also not stand for her nonsence.Im also sure that Joao will exert some pressureComment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by diane d Do you know why Zee has become aggressive?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Diane, I think its just part of the growing up process and she is pushing the envelope to see where she can get.Comment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Coleen Yeah!!! I new you would figure it out Martha. Congratulations to everyone at CE I know you all worked hard to help Martha.
Answer: - Posted by phillip Many thanks Coleen it’s much appreciated
Comment / Question : 10 March 2010 - Posted by Gayle "31 Chimps safe and sound inside".... Music to my ears!!! I bet you all did a "happy dance" when that happened :)
Answer: - Posted by phillip Not much of a dance,but a deep breath and a smileComment / Question : 09 March 2010 - Posted by martha Great news about Martha! I was watching my first season DVD and with the mention of Jao's fear grin in the observation notes, I was wondering if Jao had a fear grin or an attack face when he cam running to Eugene after the boot incident. The minute Eugene reassured him he stopped. Was Jao in attack mode do you think before Eugene reassured him? I get really confused with all the different grins and faces. Thank you all for everything you do for these wonderful chimps. It is a true joy to be on this website. Thank you.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Martha.its good to have great newsComment / Question : 09 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY MARTHA!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much for the update, Phillip. I am so proud of her! But I can't blame her for being a little weary of Jessica. Jessica can be a little intimidating. And catty :) Are you still putting Jessica & Charles in a seperate room in the night rooms? And does Charles still insist on being around Jessica at all times? thank you. This is great news! Hopefully it is the start of a daily habit for Martha.
Answer: - Posted by phillip Hello Amy. Charles and Jessica are still sharing with each other and Martha is in with all the little hooligans dare to say that I am seeing a change in Martha but at this stage I won’t make any predictionsComment / Question : 09 March 2010 - Posted by Phillip Great news today.....Martha came in and ate with everybody inside.All 31 chimps are safe and sound inside.(have not been able to say that for a while)Comment / Question : 09 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy Both Charles' and Nicky's acrobatics sound very impressive. Has Charles been secretly watching Donald O'Connor dancing movies? ;-)
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hey Tracy,perhaps his just the chimp verson of Donald lolComment / Question : 08 March 2010 - Posted by Dennis I two questions about chimp social structure: Do chimpanzees live in a patriarchal or matriarchal society? Jessica seems to be the alpha female in her group and normally chimps have an alpha male, and Jessica is the queen of the group, how come no adult male was put into the group to lead the group?, does this mean that chimp groups can also be lead by a female?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Dennis.Chimp groups are ruled by an Alpha male with a few dominant males.Jessica was initially in the group on her own as the adult female and was the controling factor.Charles the adult male was introduced to this group over s few weeks and has assumed the role of Alpha male in all functions that a Qalpha male would.
As a rescue facility we sometimes dont always have the chance to create the ideal social structure and we do the best we can with the individuals we rescue.Comment / Question : 08 March 2010 - Posted by MS I watched an episode of the first season of Chimp Eden (my wife purchased it for a Christmast present) and I just want to give you all kudos for the work you do with chimps!
I really miss seeing your weekly progress on TV. Thank you for posting the observation notes and if you make any videos, PLEASE post it on youtube! I need my chimp fix!
Answer: - Posted by phillip Hi MS keep an eye on AP they sometimes do re runsComment / Question : 08 March 2010 - Posted by Jacob Hey! I miss chimp eden so much! Watching your show was the highlight of my week and now I am feeling a bit of a void. I was hoping to find someone with Chimpanzee Family Fortunes; it is the only chimp show I have not been able to see since it aired and I have been trying for almost two years. jdstrandmo@stthomas.edu please e-mail me if you have a copy of the show. I absolutely adore your chimpanzees and the hard work of all your staff. Is there any chance of releasing the adult group into the wild, as far as you can tell?Comment / Question : 06 March 2010 - Posted by Coleen phil it probably is best you don't know what the chimps think Nikki would keep you busy wanting you to help him with his girls.lol
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Coleen possibly not but sometimes you sit and just think what these chimps have gone thruComment / Question : 06 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa Oh how I wish I could see Charles displaying and showing his strength! He was still so timid when I was there and he is such a handsome chimp. I am so happy he is being a chimp now. As for Cozy, he has earned the right to be proud and loud. What amazing progress he has made. Go for it, Coz Coz! Nikky is a flirt and charmer and that's what makes him so endearing. I sure do miss those guys!
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Theresa, Charles has blossomed and it looks like he grows every day. He has put on bulk and attitude, no longer the chimp that I first met when he arrived at Chimp EdenComment / Question : 06 March 2010 - Posted by Diane H Hi Jessica, once again your vivid descriptions of the goings on at Chimp Eden have me laughing out loud. Picturing Nicky "strutting his stuff" to the ladies all the while Claudette was surreptitiously trying to catch his feet, was so well described I could easily picture it. Your brilliant descriptions actually make up for not being able to see these antics on the show. Your sense of humour and love of the chimps comes through loud and clear in all that you write. I look forward to reading your observation notes each day, as they clearly show you really love life at Chimp Eden and love what you do. Thanks for sharing your joy with us. We are living vicariously through you. :)
Answer: - Posted by Jessica Hi Diane! Thanx, working with these chimps is great - they make life a little brighter each day!Comment / Question : 06 March 2010 - Posted by Pat Tonight (March 5, 2010), on the Pets or Predators episode of Larry King Live (A CNN U.S. cable news network television show)), an American woman who owns two chimpanzees said that she wants to find a better home for them. Would you consider accepting two chimps from the U.S., assuming that they pass all needed health exams? If not, could you recommend good U.S. sanctuaries she should consider for her chimpanzees?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Pat.CE is mandated to deal with chimps in Africa as are all the other African sanctuaries that are PASA members. What I can recommend is that you send Doug Cress of PASA an email at doug@pasaprimates.org he will be able to advise.Comment / Question : 06 March 2010 - Posted by Gayle It's ok Joao.... I don't want to go out in drizzly weather either!!
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Gayle,I agree as wellComment / Question : 06 March 2010 - Posted by Patti With all Joao's years and experiences, wouldn't it be wonderful to know his thoughts. . . . The old Native American proverb "every animal knows more than you do" certainly must apply to Joao.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Patti,I wish I knew what was ging on all their minds lolComment / Question : 05 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY And if he does have offspring, do you know their status? Thanks. He's a living legend. He loves being graddad, you can tell. The best part is that he has Zac trained to be his muscle when they misbehave. Comment / Question : 05 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY Does Joa have any offspring?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Amy,He doesnt have any offspringComment / Question : 05 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa Joao's old bones ache when it's cold and rainy I'm sure. He is such an awesome chimp! Age has it's priveleges and Joao is certainly entitled to a few. I hope he stays healthy for a few more years.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Therese yes I agree,age must allow some benefits lolComment / Question : 05 March 2010 - Posted by Diane H Hi Jessica, sounds like the chimps are trying to lull you into a false sense of security at the moment. They are definitely up to something, and boy, can't wait until that hits. Had to laugh the other day, with Amadeus's reaction you taking a few "unauthorized" days off. Guess he thinks of you as one of his family. Which, mating aside, is a nice thing. lol.Comment / Question : 05 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY Can you describe how Joa demanded his breakfast inside? Did he just refuse to go out? Thanks
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Amy,he just stayed inside and pointed at the fruit crate and mad his blowing sounds.I know that mean food and inside please.Comment / Question : 05 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY hi-Joa is getting older...I think if he wants to have his breakfast inside, in front of a heater maybe, then he has earned the right to. It's a sad reality that every day we get to have Joa with us is a blessing. It may be 5 years, it may be two. But thank you for making Joa as comfortable as possible in his retirement. He deserves a little extra spoiling :) He sure is such a majestic creature.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Amy,his doing great,he gets his PVM bar every morning and his water before going out.He is always with some of the chimps and enjoys their company a geat deal.Yes we never know the time but lets hope there are still a good few years.Comment / Question : 04 March 2010 - Posted by MS Does Jessica let Charles mate with her? After seeing him with Suzie, I wonder if this will cause Jessica to relax when Charles sends her his "invitations."
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello MS,nothing yet between Charles and JessicaComment / Question : 04 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY Phillip-what Zoo did you work with in the US that had 3 of the great apes? The local zoo here (in Rochester, NY) has 3 Bornean Orangutans. I am seriously considering volunteering there once a week. I agree with what you said: The only thing we can do to prevent animal abuse is education. Even if I am just shovelling poo for the elephants-that is is still helping with the overall cause. Any advice from anyone on volunteering? Thanks!
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Amy, It was the zoo in SA that had the 3 Apes. I spent time at the Toledo zoo, Columbus Zoo, National Zoo and a few days at Cincinnati zoo. Education is the tool and helping out at a zoo will give you good insight.Comment / Question : 04 March 2010 - Posted by julie Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well. Thanks for keeping up the observation notes. I've been horribly busy working but glad to finally come back to the CE site. My Q: Has Susie's status changed within the group since this new (ahem) relationship with Charles?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Julie,no real big change,but she has got used to his advances although Mowgli isnt very happy.Comment / Question : 03 March 2010 - Posted by U.S. AMY Martha has been going inside at night???? that is wonderful! I agree with Martha the human. I sure do worry about that girl-(Martha the chimp). She definitely seems difficult to work with and must test your patience. Maybe the beat down by Charles and Jessica was what was needed to get her in shape. The ob notes have mentioned a few times about a chimp having a scrape here or there. Do the chimps come up to you to show you their scratches?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Amy,she hasnt gone in yet,we are trying.When they have cuts and scrapes they tend to come and show you but there are some stubborn chimps and then of course there are a few who just want all the attention.(No names will be given lol)Comment / Question : 03 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy Phillip: Are chimps harder than gorillas or orangs to maintain in zoos? I keep running across big name zoos and animal parks that have the latter two but no chimps. Maybe I'm just missing the ones that have the opposite ratio. I wanted to visit the chimps at my local zoo (The National Zoo in Washington DC), and I was shocked to discover that they don't have any. The same is true of Busch Gardens in Tampa (as I saw on TV).
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Tracy,when I was in the USA I noticed that most zoos did not house all the great apes.I was lucky that at our zoo we had 3 of the great apes.I wouldnt say that chimps are difficult to keep,no more so that any of the others.I think zoos have decided which one to house and gone with that choice.Comment / Question : 03 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy "Tony.... The little fellow has this amazing ability of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and then behaving inadequately on top of it." Well, he learned from the best when it comes to that type of behavior--Cozi!
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hello Tracy,Tony just sees to be able to do that but he is very lovable little chimp and has a great character.Comment / Question : 03 March 2010 - Posted by Theresa You mean you didn't ask Amadeus if you could take off Jess? Shame on you..LOL! I have a feeling Amadeus sees you and Phillip as HIS people and he doesn't like Marc near Phil or you to be gone very long. Aren't you glad you aren't one of his females on the other side of the fence? I like the nickname by the way. He is rather regal!
Answer: - Posted by Jessica Hi Theresa. Will have to make sure I fill in his special leave form from now on ;) As for joining the chain gang on the other side of the fence: NO THANX!Comment / Question : 02 March 2010 - Posted by martha Did Martha provoke Charles in some way for him to pull her out of the tree or was he just disciplining her for staying away. I hope it does not cause a major setback. I wonder why Charles let Jessica take over? What was Martha's immediate reaction to all this. I so worry about my Martha!
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Martha,I just think that Charles wants contact and he is trying hard to get to her.Martha has been moving to the night are for the last two nights so things are looking goodComment / Question : 02 March 2010 - Posted by GRP #1 Martha Chimp Many thanks to everyone that contributes to the PVM Rainbow Bar® fund. Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated by us in Group 1 – we’re all HAPPY & HEALTHY CHIMPS!! Don't forget that your contributions fund the primate supplement, also manufactured PVM®. Jessica and the younger chimps have benefited greatly from this. We are still anxiously awaiting availability of the new iSNACK bars…YUM YUM coming soon – something new to look forward to. All donations are graciously accepted. If you would like to make a donation to this fund, please put PVM fund in the description field. Thanks again from Group 1 – Martha Chimp. of yoComment / Question : 02 March 2010 - Posted by Patti Is there something different about activities on Sunday morning that would cause Amadeus to act up? Surely he isn't counting days - LOL. On the other hand, is there anything cyclical about morning routines that he could be relating to? Thanks.
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Patti,who knows,perhaps he has a way but we have noticed he does this every Sunday.Comment / Question : 01 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy What ever happened with that long-ago rescue in Lebanon?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Tracy, we went after some chimps that we were told about. It was unfortunate though as the people who had the chimps were warned that we were arriving and the chimps disapeared.We spent time looking but corruption was rife, and we had to leave. A week later Lebanon was at war with Israel!Comment / Question : 01 March 2010 - Posted by Tracy So Charles can see Amadeus and Nicky from his enclosure? Or is he just imitating their vocalizations?
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Tracy,Charles can see Cozy and co from his enclosure.He can hear Amadeus and the others.Charles was with Amadeus and Nicky for a while before he ended up in his enclosureComment / Question : 01 March 2010 - Posted by Carolyn Kane What happened to Escape to Chimp island . Now they are showing Haunting what kind of animal show is that. Tonight it Is Plant earth all night. I want Escape back !!! Thank You Carolyn Kane
Answer: - Posted by Phillip Hi Carolyn,Escape to Chimp Eden only had two series and AP have decided not to do any more episodes.
