Well, it’s been a busy Saturday! Here’s an opportunity to spend a quiet minute with Jamie and Foxie. In this video you can see them grooming each other. Grooming is a good way to build and maintain social bonds. Though sometimes it doesn’t seem like it, we humans do a lot of the same thing – think of how a mother might play with her child’s hair, or how reassuring it can be feel to hold hands with a loved one. Building social bonds left and right!

oh, this is a very sweet video.
I love seeing them so happy!! They seem so comforted & content together as they are grooming each other. It is very sweet!!
Jamie (I think that is Jamie who is being groomed) looks like she has a growth on her upper R lip. Is that true? Maybe it is just an effect of the video. Maybe it is a harmless wart. What do you think?
This made my weekend to hear the Great news of these chimps finally being able to live their lives in peace. I cannot wait for the day and hopefully it comes in my lifetime to see ALL the chimps that are in research to be able to live like this, it saddens me every day of my life that animals have to be subjected to live thier lives in these torture chambers….WHEN IS THE WORLD GOING TO WAKE UP and how can anyone sleep at night that work in those places when they know they leave these beautiful gentle souls in small cages to live in tortue and fear their whole lives when they are such gentle, loveing creatures. PLEASE KEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND SAVE THEM ALL!!!!!!
