At Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest, Missy has merited the nickname “Dr. Missy.” We call her this because she is a particularly diligent groomer, spending hours attending to her group mates. If someone has sustained an injury, she focuses on that member with all her carefully well-honed skills. For the average day, Dr. Missy is always prepared to perform a gentle grooming examination.
GREAT photos! Looks like Dr. Missy is listening to her patient tell her what’s wrong. 🙂
This is yet another endearing quality of Missy’s. (Hard to imagine her standing still long enough to groom.)
You can see the empathy and compassion in her eyes! Love her!! But then I love them all! Hugs!
Looks like she’s listening intently to their problem..
She looks so concerned. Showing such concern for her mate’s problem. Love, empathy, compassion are in her eyes.
