Ahh, nothing like a relaxing day at the chimp spa! 😌 Chimpanzees perform social grooming behavior. They use their hands and mouth to part the hair and remove debris, which is an act of trust and closeness. Grooming is used to maintain troop status, develop friendships, and build close bonds between the chimps. #Chimpanzee #Chimp #Ape #ApeAwarenessMonth #Primate #Spa #LAZoo 📹: Jeff Gottlieb | Los Angeles Zoo
