Back with Spitter

Spitter (or the one i think is Spitter) was still sitting in front of the observation window, casually observing the humans.

 

Just beyond the window there's an entrance into an indoor area for the chimps. To my human eyes, this indoor area looks a lot darker and bleaker and totally unappealing compared to the covered area down the other end of the enclosure. Maybe the chimps feel the same way. I havent seen the chimps spending much time in here. Sitting outside the window like Spitter: yes. Or sitting on the doorstep, yep. Using the area as an indoor toilet, yep. Oh and later on this same day i did see Sasha go inside with her son Sule, and sit hidden (hidden from chimps, not humans) up in a dark corner while she let Sule suckle. Maybe she was avoiding someone. Chimp politics are so complex.

 

If the time comes when the keepers have to split the enclosure into two separate areas, it's going to come as a shock to the chimps who've had access to all areas. This indoor area might get a bit more use when the chimps have no other choice
