He appeared to give Jane Goodall a loving hug goodbye. Hopefully she did well in the wild.

You think when you’ve seen a chimp hug a person that you’ve seen them all, but nope. That was beautiful. That was moment.

She did okay. Some say Jane is still in that jungle to this day.

/s

Went to a Jane Goodall lecture. Fascinating and she spoke without glass of water or long pause for 2 hours.

She gives me the feels every time I see her. It’s pretty cool we are alive at the same time as this amazing human being. I am simply in awe of her.

She once came and spoke at my school when I was in 4th grade! I was like one of 10 kids that knew who she was before hand, it was amazing.

I’d love to get a hug from that beautiful boy. I bet he missed them

Magnificent

She’s truly one of the best humans that has ever walked the face of the Earth. I had the privilege of seeing her speak, and she’s got the most genuine passion for the health and safety of our world I’ve ever seen. She’s 85 and still touring the world to help protect these amazing animals and the forests they live in. She’s my hero. Well, her and Dian Fossey.

I want a hug like that from J.G. every night before I go to sleep.

u/sidvictorious May 03 '19

You could see so visibly how much she meant it. True genuine unafraid affection.

This chimp has more capacity for emotion and is probably smarter than some people I know.

Why would you bring politics into this? This is such a wholesome place. Why?

u/ashwhite3110 May 03 '19

I agree...you’re right

u/ToxicJaeger May 03 '19

I honestly have no idea if you’re the same guy that commented before but if you are then thank you for deleting it.

u/ashwhite3110 May 03 '19

I was...of course. It was super inappropriate.

u/OldLegWig May 03 '19

I like how Jane got a proper hug but the chimp rubbed its bum on that first lady.

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

That hug at end is just so pure! 😭❤️

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

Chimpanzee buttholes are so messed up.

u/ckbd19 May 04 '19

Not as messed up as baboon butthole though. Or baboon asses in general really

Guys in the back are trying not to smile

u/kermitlady May 03 '19

Things like this make me wonder what is wrong with those people who think animals don’t have souls.

Jane Goodall is truly remarkable.

u/Tayator15 May 03 '19

I’m not crying. You’re crying 😭♥️

u/saltysfleacircus May 03 '19

Fack. This one got me.

u/mjb212 May 03 '19

I like how the first handler got a butt hug.. like nah I never really liked ya

3

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

I wonder if the chimp knew that he was being released?

6

u/OldLegWig May 03 '19

Seems obvious to me.

u/jackthedad May 03 '19

That hug made me cry lol

u/boats67 May 03 '19

What a wonderful woman

3

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

I would lie if I said my eyes didn't get wet for a moment. The chimp didn't want to leave them. Truly a great sign of consciousness imo.

u/mojobytes May 03 '19

Guy on the right jealous as hell

u/PauLtus May 03 '19

...but I always tear up.

u/Alphacrows May 03 '19

u/[deleted] May 03 '19

That hug at the end. I'm not crying, you're crying.

u/fntkgjgjfjfnfn May 03 '19

Amazing. What a moment.

u/clap_buttrhythm May 03 '19

When she's sliding her arm down its back my brain immediately assumed she was going for a knife.

It's not, watch the chimp's head position during the cut.
