Chimpanzee in captivity (2/8)

They’re our closest genetic relatives, with DNA over 98 per cent the same as ours.

 

We’ve had them to test our vaccines...

We’ve sent them to space...

We’ve kept them as pets for our own happiness...

 

#Chimpanzees can learn from those around them in ways many other animals can’t - and when they’re captive they become even more human-like, sometimes with tragic results.
