#StoryOfAGif | Jane & Wounda
We all have seen around this beautiful gif that makes almost everyone AWW! but not many know the story behind it. I am sure some or many of you now who Jane Goodall is…. This magnificent conservationist lady is an expert primatologist who had lived more than 55 years in the jungle and revolutionised our knowledge of chimpanzee behaviour.
The gif tell us the story of  Wounda being released onto Tchindzoulou Island (Republic of Congo)  in 2013.
Dr. Jane Goodall discovered chimpanzees are so like us; complex and intelligent beings sharing much of our emotions like fear, compassion, and love. When considering these traits, one chimpanzee in particular stands out: Her name is Wounda (meaning “Close to Death”)
Here is a beautiful clip where Dr Goodall reminiscences herself about that special moment…Enjoy!
