A compelling, fascinating and strangely beautiful video. Have you ever seen a chimpanzee grooming a human? Nope, me neither, and this is absolutely amazing. The chimp’s very systematic, compassionate, and clearly knows what she’s doing.
Animals are way smarter than we think, and here’s the proof…

I’ve begun to wonder:
Do great apes in the wild show any signs of environmental stewardship?
Or are they genetically and/or culturally (learned or adopted behaviourally) inclined to eat until there’s no choice but to move on?
The human ape seems not to give a shit; it’s: eat everything; move elsewhere.
And it’s not just Trump.
Millions upon millions of us.
Billions.
How come?

But their survival is at risk! Chimpanzees, great #apes, and many smaller #monkey species face extinction due to habitat destruction caused by palm oil plantations.

This morning I solved some issues with my #apes #AlternativePhotography Exposure System . The buttons are now safe red color. First time using it full screen to expose a #carbonprint. I gotta go through my notes to see what else to fix today about my #process. One was temp, the other was using hardened gelatin wet during transfer. This better work. I'm loosing my mind over how easy everyone makes it to be and how hard it has been so far. #cyanotype blew my mind when I got my first good print.
