Ooh ooh ah ah readers, hello!

This past Saturday, July 14th, was the first annual World Chimpanzee Day, did you know that?

This newly established holiday was founded by the Jane Goodall Institute to commemorate the day Dr. Gooddall began her chimpanzee field studies at Gombe Stream National Park in 1960.

Here is a map to situate ourselves:

So the question is, how does one celebrate World Chimpanzee Day?

By monkey-ing around of course, and thinking sweet thoughts for our hairy cousins in the jungle.

Happy World Chimpanzee Day, a few days late.

 

Many more to come,

❤
