That’s my best friend! ❤️ Taylor Nicole Morgan

Sooo interesting to see what you do firsthand! Great to learn about your strategies to close doors for cleaning and the chimps’ need for you to scatter the food so everyone gets some, not just the alpha. ❤️

Curiosity question. Do you chimps get the influenza and covid19 vaccines.
