It may be hard for some to believe, but Jamie chimpanzee can be a bit, ahem.. self centered. A good example of this is when she is watching videos (generally displayed on a phone or tablet). She has a general interest in most videos, but as soon as she sees herself in one of those videos, she is utterly fixated. This is where the forward facing camera on a phone comes in handy. A firm grip on my phone (outside her reach), a scratch resistant screen, and a bamboo tool for Jamie, make for a pretty interesting interaction.

Watch for some pretty subtle lip smacking as Jamie grooms her reflection:

    Had to chuckle with your first line. It seemed perfectly natural when it came to Jamie!
