Chimpanzees have prehensile lips which almost act as a second set of fingers. They come in handy for grasping and sorting out seeds from fruit. Here Jody demonstrates perfect technique!

    ha! I thought she was going to take forever, and then she just scooped them all up at once!
    That’s a different kind of breakfast, huh?

    Baseball players everywhere are jealous of those lips. So I am assuming in the end Jody ate the seeds after all or was she just going back to be sure she ate all the yummy stuff from the seeds?
