    Jamie’s intense focus on whatever she’s doing or whether she’s watching someone do something, i.e., when a caregiver demonstrated knitting for her. Never would I imagine that a chimpanzee would be so interested and curious about everything. Even when she’s looking directly into the camera, such intelligence shines through, Jamie is one special chimpanzee. Because of Jamie’s intelligence I bet she gave, whatever lab she was in, what for.

    Oh Candy, I so agree with you. Jamie is intense whether it is looking at something or someone or doing something. That girl wants to know everything!!! Oh how I wish she could share what she sees. Our Jamie is so amazing.

    Candy & Jeani said exactly what I’m thinking. I am so fascinated by Jamie. I wish I could know what she is thinking

    How Jamie survived those years locked up with nothing to do I can’t imagine. She is SO smart and interested and curious. These are beautiful photographs.

      I have often wondered the same thing. It’s hard to believe she didn’t go insane with boredom!

    Gorgeous photos of Jamie! I especially love the one with the straw. A chimp girl of many colors and talents, definitely.
