Picture of the day: grieving chimpanzees

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

This extraordinary photo taken by Monica Szczupider at the Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Centre in eastern Cameroon shows a family of grief-stricken chimpanzees mourning the death of a fellow ape named Dorothy.

Is this haunting picture proof that chimps really DO grieve?
