Today we allowed Willy and Arie to have access to each other for an hour. The boys spent most of that time in the other's habitat. The interaction that they did have was positive! Willy groomed Arie for quite a long time. However, despite multiple requests by Willy, Arie never groomed in return. We considered the short socialization to be a success (as there were no fights) and looked forward to the next day.
Willy's not-so-gentle way of initiating grooming.
Mimi, Kari, and I have been recording the socialization for
documentation and videos to be made in the near future!
