Today was sponsored by Linda Jovanovich in memory of her dad, Voyo “Joe” Jovanovich (2/29/1920 – 5/22/2010).

“Remembering my favorite Leap Year Baby, my dad, who left us at age 23 1/2 and would have celebrated his 25th (!) today. Love you always, Dad!”

Linda, thank you so much for such a sweet remembrance of your dad and for making a difference in the chimps’ lives as you celebrate him. May today be full of comforting and joyful memories.

    I’ve long liked that photograph of Burrito and Jody. When I first saw it three years ago, I began to notice that the top of Jody’s left ear tends to bend back towards her skull when, it seems, she is in a good mood. I surmise that this is indeed the case, given the bounty of bamboo which she has found to chew upon.
