Jane Goodall Instagram – 🌿 Meet Flo, the Fearless Matriarch of Gombe! 🐵 First appearing in Jane’s camp in 1962, Flo, accompanied by her devoted children — Fifi, Figan, Faben, Flint, and Flame — exemplified the essence of motherhood in the chimpanzee world. Jane observed Flo as unwavering in her support of and dedication to her children. She was known for her distinctive notch in the ear and her steadfast spirit. Jane Goodall herself was moved to tears by the news of Flo’s passing in 1972, a testament to the profound impact Flo had on all who knew her. Today, we honor Flo’s memory and celebrate the extraordinary power of maternal love, which transcends species 🌳💚 #JGI #Gombe #Chimpanzees #JaneGoodallInstitute 📸: Hugo van Lawick Alt Text: Slide 1 – An elderly female chimpanzee sitting on the forest floor with her arm reaching out (left) towards a young infant chimpanzee swinging on a branch.
