Chimpanzee grooming and lip smacking

Today Jamie spotted some freckles on my wrist and her eyes widened and she reached through the mesh fencing to touch them. She is drawn to anything that resembles a mark or a cut that shouldn't be there, and freckles seem to fall into that category. So she will groom emphatically to try and remove the offending item---you will be able to see her lip smacking in the video. • You can read more about the proximate and ultimate motivations for grooming in this great blog post (http://www.chimpsanctuarynw.org/blog/...) from last fall.
