UK Heatwave and the chimps are getting some ice. William is sitting in front of the window and has his bottle of layered treats in his hands. There is some flavoured ice in there and a piece of fruit as well. William is definitely enjoying it and I am glad he likes to share his moment in front of the window rather than the back. He ribs off the bottom of the bottle and is careful not to cut himself on the plastic. A quick look at his reflection, checking his eye and then back to the bottle. Looking closer at the bottle it might even be a piece of sweet potato between the ice layers, not sure. He shows me the ice cube on his lips, and a knocks on the window. Making sure I'm still watching.
He sticks his tongue in the bottle and is trying to get little bits of ice out of it. He loves sitting there on his ball. Very clever how he rolled the ball in front of the window to give him that extra hide to be able to do balance and sharing his moment. I only wish I had an ice cream as well😊. If it was chimpanzee Flynn he would have offered to share as he always does.
William rips the bottle some more to get the last little bit out. I did hope he isn't going to cut himself, but he was so gentle and he knew what he was doing. No cuts just nice cold ice to cool down in the heat and he discarded the bottle afterwards.

Silverback Gorilla Runs/Charges Over Mate Ozala - Literally
Silverback Oumbi is getting a bit frustrated as none of the females wants to know. Oumbi has his eye on Ozala. Ozala is quite wary of him and keeps him in her view. She comes closer to the silverback which surprised me as she normally avoids him totally. She keeps her eyes on him and just in front of him, she slowly changes her direction. Oumbi sits down for now while his boys in the back are being their usual rascals. Ozala comes back and just stands in front of him, looking at him. Another quick glance in his direction and then she moves on. That's when Oumbi charges through the room. He stands by the door contemplating his next move. Biddy is in the back on the wood wool, watching the two. He charges again. Ozala quickly moves out of his way. Ozala seems to actually want his attention as she moves close to him, but I don't think she wanted to get run over and that's exactly what Oumbi does. He charges again and literally charges over Ozala. Poor Ozala falls backwards and I'm hoping she hasn't hit her head on that log. That's when everything kicks off. The boys start to chase Oumbi and scream. Biddy screams as well. As always it's over in seconds. Asante makes a quick appearance in the back. The silverback sits down and everybody gets on with what they were doing before. Ozala seems fine, so I think she was lucky not to have hit her head.

Chimpanzee Love - Flynn Gets A Big Kiss
Short but sweet clip today. Flynn the Chimpanzee is getting a kiss.
He's sitting on the top bunk. A lot of pant-hoot sounds of excitement going on. Flynn has his mouth open and is staring at Tuli. Flynn pants and he can't keep his eyes off Tuli. He opens his mouth again and Tuli comes closer and gives Flynn a big kiss. He's still looking at her, touching her head, then her hand. I would have loved to have stayed and filmed more, but a group of school children came in so it got a bit overcrowded in there.
