Lights out at the Chimp House. The troupe is furnished with leafy branches, which they chew on, and armloads of excelsior, which they gather around themselves and make into duvets and comforters and feather beds. All very hygge at the zoo, Copenhagen. Pencil in Robert Batement 8 1/2" x 11" sketchbook.
Lights out at the Chimpanzee House. The troupe is given leafy branches at sundown for fresh bedding and a nice bedtime snack, along with armloads of shredded excelsior. They arrange these soft materials around themselves, patting them into duvets and comforters and feather beds, then snuggle under for the night. Touchingly hygge out there at the Copenhagen Zoo. Pencil in Robert Batement 8 1/2″ x 11″ sketchbook.
