In addition to all the other attractions and activities in Bend
there is also a sanctuary for chimpanzees. Today we visited Chimps Inc
You can read about them here:

Do you see the 2 chimps in the window awaiting our arrival? |

They have enclosed walkways from the indoor area to outside areas. |
|
Lesley, founder and director, is giving a talk |

They also have 2 lynx but was so warm today they were sleeping where is was cool... |

One of the indoor play areas |

these warning signs are all over.... |
|
The garden where the chimps can point to what treat they want! |
|
working on enrichment....trying to figure out how to get the plum.. |
|
There is a large pasture out front... 2 mares with babies! |
and no blog post is complete without a pix of these 2..
|
a little frolicking.... |
|

What fun! I loved the "garden where the chimps can pick what they want." CHIMPS, Inc does great work, don't they?
