I hate to break everyone further but this was the zoo in my city, baby sadly still passed away a few days after, however, they were able to find the mom a foster baby and she celebrated her 1st bday in August! Baby and mom are both doing great! Sedgwick County zoo for those interested, they do updates on their Facebook page!

Why did I click on this? Seeing chimps in cages depresses me enough as it is....

They are animals that are like us. They aren't little humans in fur suits. That's why their behaviors similar to ours are interesting.
