Sad Chimps.

Has anyone else seen this photo or others of this event?

The November issue of National Geographic features this photograph of chimpanzees in Cambodia watching as one of their own is being taken away for burial. The photo is amazing and touching and really shows that we're not too far off from our primate cousins. Read the story here, so sad.

Sara, have you read Koko's Kitten? It's about a gorilla and her pet kitten... it's so touching and amazing to see a primate relating to a pet in the same way as us. It will make you less sad. :)
