Chimp Cooling Down With A Bottle Of Ice

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. #SloggerVlogger #chimpanzees My Travel, Days out and zoo hyperlapse YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/WatchAndSubTravel
