Chimps - Sometimes You Just Need A Hug

Flynn the Chimpanzee from Twycross Zoo is standing up, scratching himself and then looking at all the people. He starts clapping. In the next clip, something is up with Lottie (Charlotte) as she screams her lungs out and crawls through the grass. It is nothing unusual, Lottie often starts screaming for no apparent reason. Chimpanzee Jomar is quick to respond, running towards her and lending her his back, so she can hug and hold him which reduces her anxiety. Jomar has a look around, but he looks perplexed about what has caused her to react in that way. Job done, and he walks off. Jambo is in the back with Josie, holding his wood wool running to the window hitting it with his elbow and then sitting on the wood wool. When Josie gets spooked ad walks away Jambo gives the people behind the glass a hand flip before they both move away. #SloggerVlogger #SloggerVloggerChimps

Jambo The Hairless Chimp Joins Flynn Kicking Doors

You might have seen Flynn before in my videos. He's quite a sweet chimp when he wants to be. He loves to charge against the window, but when he gets that out of his system, he sits with you and when he has some food and you hold your hand open on the other side of the window, he tries to share his food with you. Today high up on the frame he's starting to hoot and even has a clap. I know he doesn't look very friendly up there, but that's more noise than anything else. On the ground, he's hooting again and runs towards the metal door and kicks it. Jambo the hairless chimps joins him. The first kick was quite tame. Flynn is investigating that door, while Jambo sits down. They move to the other window and Jambo kicks it and they start to hoot again. Jambo moves to the next metal door and kicks this one a few times. It is quite normal for chimpanzees to display, especially just before feeding time. In the end, Flynn has a charge towards me. His way of saying hello, as he sits there with me for a while. #SloggerVlogger #HairlessChimp #HairlessChimpanzee
