Did anyone see an explanation of the chimp's illness. It looked as if her gums were huge and she'd lost her teeth???



I heard about this earlier today on the radio. I didn't hear all of it but from what I gather she was very old, like over 50 which I guess for a chimp is ancient.

Really cool video. It amazes me how much we do have an affect on animals. Dogs are like this too. Just seeing the right person will make them have a sudden burst of energy or awareness. You can just see the love from the chimp. Thanks for that today!

How some people can pretend that we aren't related to these animals in some form, is beyond me. Evolution is the real deal. This is amazing.

Just wept like a baby. Reminded me of my first dog before we had to put her down from cancer. Thanks for posting

ETA: no sarcasm intended.

Beautiful. I'm glad they had that moment. Chimps are smarter than we realize.

I'm betting she lost her teeth bc she was old. Her hands looked like she had arthritis. I think she died of old age.
