They use their hands and mouth to part the hair and remove debris, which is an act of trust and closeness. Grooming is used to maintain troop status, develop friendships, and build close bonds between the chimps. #Chimpanzee #Chimp #Ape #ApeAwarenessMonth #Primate #Spa #LAZoo : Jeff Gottlieb | Los Angeles Zoo | Facebook

It’s time for another baby Chimp update! Keeper Lisa managed to get some great footage of the wee one while Sally got some well-deserved social grooming done. It’s still too early to determine the sex of the baby, but we are pleased to report that they are happy and healthy ❤ Visitors to the zoo have been thrilled to see Sally and her baby out enjoying the sun recently. With the weather looking good for tomorrow, why not come and say hello too! | Wellington Zoo Te Nukuao
