Although chimpanzees can often be aggressive, the chimp-like bonobo prefer the power of play. In this excerpt from the BBC series Animals in Love, researchers explain that just like humans, bonobo love a good laugh — and to prove it, we witness a very hands-on demonstration. (via Murray C.)
“I honestly don’t know what I was expecting here, but it’s just that the other guys in the troop were raving about the stuff, going on and on about how crunchy and delicious it was, and then to actually see it for the first time and it’s just this limp flat thing… I dunno, man, I think someone’s goofin’ on me.”
On this day, and every day, give your mom a kiss and show her you love her.
Mom was the rock you clung to when life was new and nothing made sense.
Your “mom taxi” who took you to school, games, dates, the bar exam…
UPDATE: It wouldn’t be Mother’s Day without our favorite mother/daughter duo!
