The chimpanzees eat mostly fresh fruits and veggies at the sanctuary. For the most part, they like what we like, but they do have a higher tolerance for certain flavors.

    At first I thought she was just eating the peel, but no, down it goes!! She accepts that this juicy wonderfulness is a bit sour as part of it’s being!! Hugs to you all!

    Personally I was puckering up just watching Jody eating that lemon! Maybe we human primates are missing out on the deliciousness of lemons. Jody makes it look and sound so yummy.

    Showed my partner this video… she said maybe she’s part chimpanzee! She loves lemons and anything sour and is hairy lolol

    They could eat the retread off a tire and make it sound scrumptious.

    Have you seen them shy away from, or pucker from things we love to eat?

      Not particularly, though we avoid hot peppers.

    The sound effects made this video so appealing.
