I am always fascinated by the dexterity of chimpanzees’ hands and feet. When I worked at the Fauna Foundation, Tatu, who uses sign langue, has these beautiful articulate fingers. So articulate, in fact, she had no problem telling you what your breath smelled like good or bad: “Coffee” or “Onion” or telling you “Hurry, go” “Milk, Cheese, Milk, Milk, Milk” “Drink, Milk, Hurry, Go”. As a going away present, I was gifted this beautiful photo by NJ Wight of Tatu’s hands. It’s a gift I have always cherished. For my non-signing friends, I adore hands clasped together or holding their toes.
So please enjoy a whole bunch of photos of chimps’ hands and toes!
