Oh I think Jun and Chiko will get along just fine once they get used to each other. I enjoyed this video thoroughly especially the ending. Thank you! I found myself rooting and cheering for Jun, "Good job Jun trying to make friends, but also keeping a comfortable distance from Jun. Be patient my guy." 😌
I'm still sad for Chiko, she still seems scared and out of her element...but Jun seems so excited to finally have a chimp companion again after all this time. He's being incredibly sweet with her, letting her approach him at her own pace rather than doing the usual male dominance stuff. Hopefully she'll settle in and the two can become friends. What a sweet boy.

At least June is not lonely anymore even though I hated them to leave Tama
Chiko seems to be getting used to her new home. I am happy she and Jun are able to be a little more comfortable with each other. Jun is doing a good job of trying to be friends while also giving her space when she needs it. At the rate she's eating, she will probably strip the place of vegetation in a few weeks.😂

Everything is correct. Chiko was brought up in a large group in a large area and taught to get food on her own, while Jun was brought up by people and accustomed to eat only what is given to him. According to Tama's rules, you can eat everything that surrounds you, except for what is guarded by an electric fence. Since there are no electric fences in this zoo, therefore Chiko intends to eat everything that surrounds her.😁

Was this before Cherry got there? Because I know when she first got there she lost so much weight and almost looked like she was going to die any day, and obviously here Chico is eating bark and pine needles which they only eat if they're starving 0 because there are absolutely no nutritional value at all. Was this before they started feeding them right?

Chiko sitting down in that drainage water all the time eating her poop is not good at all ... I know she is not afraid cause her hair is not all puffed up, but you can see the confusion of her brain not knowing what to do, this enclosure is boring for her. I'm so sorry Chiko. Can not wait for cherry to get here at least Chiko and her can groom their remaining hair away cause literally theirs nothing to do in this enclosure for them
