Pipa looks toward the kitchen waiting for dinner.
And while it doesn’t arrive… she’s having a little snack 🌿

Hugo loves eating the leaves from the trees. 🌳 It's wonderful to see him enjoying it!

Although… the best thing about those trees is the shade they give, and if he keeps pruning them at this rate, we’ll soon be left without it. 😅

Some things never change: the Bilinga and their routine.
Waking up together, greeting each other, grooming, walking, napping, playing…

For them, who lived through chaos, fear, and uncertainty,
having a routine isn’t boring — it’s a gift.

We don’t know if you’re reading this or if you’re still mesmerized by Caline’s gaze.
But if you are, we want to tell you how to help her 👉💖 https://t.co/ZfZbeRN06m

Hugo and Mayumba — inseparable💞

He saw her take her first steps, and soon they began walking together. Before long, the path grew difficult: Mayumba’s mother passed away, and Hugo took care of her.

1 – Caline is watching us
2 – Mayumba comes closer, just in case there’s something interesting
3 – Hugo, among the trees, has discovered that the leaves are really tasty
4 – A flower among flowers: Waty

Waty is a bamboo lover 🌿

❤️‍🩹 As a baby, Titín was abandoned, tied to a railing at the entrance of an apartment building in Logroño.

Every week we buy fruit and vegetables for the chimpanzees, but nature also provides them with food 🌱 And with this year's rains, even more!

PD: The chimpanzee is Juanito😉

This is how Bongo sleeps in summer. He pushes away all the straw he would normally use to make a nest and lies down on the cool ground 😍

Many are already aware of the amazing ability chimpanzees have to make and use tools, but few can imagine what Waty is capable of with just a simple stick… or with any object she manages to find a use for.

What changes from one photo to the other? ☺️

[MONA Primate Welfare @MONA_UK]

We had warnings ⚠️ We knew it was coming, and it’s here ⛈️

Time to go inside to take shelter from the storm. Marco runs, but Juanito… hesitates. And there’s Giulia, his caregiver, standing in the pouring rain, calling him with all the love and affection in the world 💖

[MONA Primate Welfare @MONA_UK]

It’s amazing to see chimpanzees showing off their strength. This jump is Bongo’s.

When you adopt a chimpanzee... Finish the sentence 💖👇

[MONA Primate Welfare @MONA_UK]

If you’ve seen Part 2 of the video “Ways of Living Life”, then you’ve already met Juanito.

💚 Adopting Juanito is a beautiful way to care for him and make sure he can keep enjoying life just like that: at his own pace, with peace and calm

Part 2 ✌️ of the ways of living of the chimpanzees rescued by MONA. Part 1 ☝️ is already up, in case you want to see which one you relate to most 🐒✨

[MONA Primate Welfare @MONA_UK]

Just like you, each chimp has their own way of living life. Let’s see which one you relate to most. But for that… you’ll have to watch Part 2 ✌️
