Mzee playing dead lol
21 November 2011
Mzee is definitely strange.
When I let Bili in with him, they don't spend any time together at all. He has no attraction to Bili at all.
BUT he likes to kiss me and gets a hard on when he sees Doris, one of the maids!

wow, its been a while since i Blogged. if i told that to a doctor he would stick something up my bum to make sure i dont have a problem lol.
well,there has not been much to write. the days are routine while the parents are away. mostly all primates have behaved.
the kids (chimps) are pretty cool, well Mzee anyway. i will give him an empty coke bottle full of water. somethimes he will insist on a walk around his enclosure, stopping now and then to pee or to drink, not necessarily in that order AND sometimes at the same times. so proves that male primates can multitask lol.
he dropped the coke bottle on the ground and kept walking, just like other primates :-(. naturally, i took him to task and very politely explained he can't do that and to pick it up and give it me if he doesn't want to carry it, otherwise he gets a lecture on climate change! I'll be blowed.... he did. he was walking away, stopped turned around went back picked it up and gave it to me through the fence!
they say a chimps brain develops at a similar pace to a humans for the first 5 years then stops, but show me a kid who will pick up his mess after himself, after only being told ONCE !
now, we always have a few drinks at his cage, then he takes a full bottle in his mouth while we walk. once he finishes he walks to the same spot and gives me the empty. how cool.
in the evening he meets me at the bottom of his enclosure waiting for me to let him into bed and dinner time. as soon as he sees me he raises his long hairy arms above his head and bares his teeth. looks scary like he wants to attack but its his way of smiling and saying take home pappa!
this morning mzee started screaming, i think because i didn't spend much time with him yesterday and he needed company, just like any kid, except his screams are chillling.
Bili, well Bili is being Bili. she accepts me coz i sleep in the room next to her and feed her and put her to bed at night and let her out in the morning, so she stopped throwing things at me, but she doesn't want to interact except to tell me to give her food. in teh afternoon she sits outside the cabin window and waits for me to look then stretches out her long hairy arm with her palm up telling me to give her food. at first i tried to feed her some food through her cage and she ripped it out of my hands like Mohammed Ali. so fast and strong. she has become more gentle now. she loves popcorn lol. but i wont sit on the lounge cuddling up to a movie and popcorn with her just yet! if i ignore her pleas, she throws stones at the window lol.
i love the fact that all these kids eat is fruit, and popcorn lol, and yet their muscle definition is awesome. no high protien diets and gym sessions. again, pretty cool. mzee does not eat the skin of fruit. he will eat the tomatoe, bananas, mango and melons and pineapple adn leave the skins. he opens the bush tomatoes and passionate fruit with his teeth, suck out the inside and eat the inside of the skin, but not the outside. when finished he goes back 2-3 times to eat as much fruit off the inside of the skin as possible.
i do have some dried protien bits he likes. i leave them till the end and he only gets it if he gives me all his left over skins so he doesn't sleep in it. i use to keep asking for the left overs and he got sick of it and started trying to pinch me, so now i play swaps and it works great.
funny thing is, i'm now eating the same fruit as them and started eating like them. monkey see, monkey do lol.
Bili is different, she eats skin and all. god bless her. its that time of the month now too, so she's being controlling and difficult, unlike other female primates i'm sure :-)
the weather has warmed up a little at night. still have 4 blankets but thats coz i'm a wooze. a few mornings the sun has come up and the sky clear. i'm sitting here now on the timber decking writing this in beautiful sun and maybe 21-22 degrees in shorts and t-shit. if the sun stays out it could get to 25. i think its the best to be expected at this altitude (2,200mtrs i think) and at the base of Mt Kenya which has permanent snow on top. when i go into town, its probably 5 degrees warmer. the dry season is coming, so it wont be as green and no rain for a few months i believe but i can't wait to look at the skys at night with no clouds to see teh stars. there is absolutely no polution here. the air is crystal clear. love it.
thinking of u all. hope oz summer is better than last year.

this is a horrid story and it will be shown on BBC tomorrow night, 17:00 Abu Dhabi time.
Karl had tried to warn authorities some time ago that Egyptian bedouins and doctors were using chimps for organ harvesting and selling them on the open market. apparently organ trading is the second highest trading world wide, second to military arms.
the authorities would not listen, but now it is worse. BBC report will show that egyptian bedoiuns are involved in kidnapping african regugees, cutting them open with only local anethsetic, cutting out their organs while they are conscious, then leaving them to die without sewing them up. if they do this to humans, then obviously the do it to chimps.
mankind suck!

Billi and Mzee both have different enclosures and different bedrooms. each enclosure is about 1/4 acre.
There is a short tunnel with a steel gate, which i open each morning to let Bili through to Mzee, then i bring him back at 11am.
this morning when i called Bili to come back, he looked in the tunnel, as always, was hessitant as always, but then came back out, picked up a stick leaned into the tunnel and got rid of a frog with the stick, then went through.
She is a milliion times bigger and stronger than a frog, but was to scared to go thru....lol
