At J.A.C.K (Jeunes Animaux Confisques au Katanga) chimpanzee sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the end of the day is always time for a little bit of milk and bedtime for the orphaned chimpanzees. The chimps go to their night enclosures at the end of the day to get their last milk of the day and to make their overnight nests. Sometimes they patiently wait for their milk, but on 7 January 2009 it was not calm at all.
To share with us the drama that unfolded that night, the people at J.A.C.K chose to post a couple of videos on their blog at WildlifeDirect. In the first video, the chimps are getting into their enclosures and the unfolding drama as milk and sleeping time approaches.
In the second video, watch as the chimps start to feed...
And finally, see the nice nest that Kala, one of the orphans, has prepared for the night.
These chimps are in this sanctuary because they were confiscated from poachers and live animal traders. They would rather be in the wild but circumstances have forced them to be under the care of the good people at J.A.C.K. Please help J.A.C.K take care of these orphans by donating here.
Donations made here are safe.
