  • I'm curious - I'm not implying you should be dominating, but why do you want to place yourself (human caretakers) in a submissive position? I've spent a great deal of time at sanctuaries here and in Africa and that's the first time I've seen a human act submissively. The human is on the other side of the cage while the chimpanzee does his/her "display". What is the thought process behind this? Is it a form of bonding? Please note, I'm not judging, or saying it's bad (or good), just curious.

  • See the original blog post for full details. ChimpSanctuaryNW(dot)org/blog/­?p=3121. And feel free to ask more questions!

  • Hard to say, Chimpangel, but I think it's a dismantled Rubik's Cube. :)

    Loz- If you listen closely, you can hear Foxie make the tiniest little whimper at 1:52. :)
