Kissing

July 7, 2009 by J.B.

Chimpanzees often kiss each other as a means of seeking reassurance. Usually what we call a kiss is really more of a soft bite with the lips covering the teeth. In this case, Annie was overly excited and she looked to Missy for comfort. Missy didn’t really have to do much – really, she just had to accept it – but that was enough to reassure Annie.

    What was Annie overly excited about? I think that’s sweet – that they have “friends” who support each other like they do. Great photo!

    Ahhhhh, we all need a little reassuring kiss now and then, don’t we?

    What wonderful friends! It is good to see how great they all are with each other. Thanks, JB. I’m at my Mom’s in New Mexico and it was so good to catch up on the blog. It made my day!

    So … when you say that Missy accepting the kiss reassured Annie – does that mean Annie calmed down?

    OK… this could be it… my all time favorite picture!
