Chewbacca in the middle of August
One day in the middle of August, I went to see Chewbacca.
It was still hot in Tokyo because of the heat of late summer,however, 
he was fine!
Chewbacca sometimes slept under the roof, sometimes slept on the bed(stage).
When he was on the stage, he posed and played with the log,
and the visitors were delighted at his performance.
Inside and outside of Chewbacca's pen changed!
Forty days have passed since I visited Chewbacca last time.
Around his pen changed a bit.
One was that the shrubs on the outside of the glass wall were cut quite
a bit.
The other was that a thing like "a black box" appeared!
It was something like a pavilion where three people could stand alongside.
I had a feeling of oppression in it.
I don't think that the sheet on both sides and the roof are effective for
preventing reflection,
and just hanging the black sheet on the handrail is enough.
The black tape was also stuck on the part of the handrail, and it is the
best way 
to mitigate the reflection. 
 
  
 
At the front 


The change in his pen was
 
 
that two small trees were cut off.
It became easier for the audience to see him, but his pen became a bleak
sight 
since the green leaves were lost.
Under the roof
around 14:00-
He was sleeping sometimes digging the ground.
  
 
Changed his position
  
 
 
 
Changed his position again


Good night!
 
 
 
 
 
Began to move
around 14:40

Came to the stage
   
  
 
  
 
I'll play with the log.

 
 
 
 
 
 
Hi, there!
 
 
 
 
He went under the roof after his performance

He went to the stage after five minutes



 
I came here again

The stage changed to the bed.
14:55-15:10
 
 

 
 Suddenly got up


Slept under the roof

Moved a bit
  
 
Woke up
 
 
Came out from under the roof

Stopped!

On the third stage

 
 

Played with the log
 
 

 
 
Played with the bamboo
 
 

 
 
Went under the roof

He slept for a short time after digging the ground
 
 
I wonder if it's about time to go home?
around 16:10
He suddenly got up, and moved at a quick pace.

Chewbacca looked like he heard his keeper's footsteps.




Stopped and groomed
 
 
Hi, my keeper!
 
 






Chewbacca didn't leap on the keeper this day.
He kept still until the keeper opened the door, 
and he entered the room as soon as the door opened.
