23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
An Adult Chimpanzee Displayed a Big Smile as a Youngster Chimp Walked a Tightrope Unaided
My tour bus driver took me to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary to visit chimps that had been traumatized or orphaned. This adult chimp watched over a young chimp as it walked the tightrope without hanging on. I liked to believe that this was truly a smile for the little one's game of Look Ma, No Hands!
