It's nice to be outside on a pleasant clear morning.
Bow did the usual things. He vocalized and displayed.
Between displays, Bow would pat me on the back in a friendly manner, just to let me know that his acts of self-assertion were in no way intended to reflect on his deference or regard for me. He was just letting the world know how he felt. Then he would invite me to join him in a game of chase. This happened several times.
But when he was done, Bow signaled that he wanted to go back inside, asked for his blanket and settle down for a nap.
While he was napping, I noticed that every once in a while Bow's toes would wriggle. Can you spot the wriggling toes in this video?
I watched the toe wriggle event happening more than a couple of times, and I wondered what Bow was dreaming.
When you spend twelve hours a day with a chimpanzee, you get to know him really well. But there are some things that Bow may never tell me. Such as why he wriggles his toes when he's asleep.
