Chimps

I know I have been lax on posting recently. I have been busy with fieldwork, but will try to start up regular posts again.

I haven't mentioned on here yet, but 4 Oxford MBA students arrived at the research center about a week ago and are staying for 2 months. They are doing a project on land use and evaluating a business model for several conservancies in the area. They are really nice, but know nothing about wildlife. So we are trying to help them learn all of the animals, etc. The funniest part is that one of them is a W&L alum! Small world, meeting in Kenya.

They had a visit to the chimpanzee center the other day, so I tagged along and got some funny chimp photos. Here is a 3 year old chimp doing some kartwheels, investigating her nose, and playing with an older chimp



This male Poco was in a small cage for the first 9 years of his life, so now he likes to stand and walk around on 2 legs... which looks pretty funny. The Oxford people were joking that it doesn't look real, but like a guy in a chimp suit
