Jane Goodall Instagram – Do you know the difference between a chimpanzee and a monkey? The tail is your tell 🐒 Since chimpanzees are apes (great apes, to be exact!) they don’t have a tail 🐵
Gombe Stream National Park isn’t just home to the @janegoodallinst’s long-running wild chimpanzee study — it’s also home to a diversity of species that we’re committed to protecting. Take these charismatic monkeys: the olive baboon🫒🐒and red colobus monkey🔴🙈
The olive baboon is the heartbeat of Gombe, essential to the rich tapestry of life in this vibrant ecosystem. Their calls reverberate through the air, a constant reminder of their presence and the dynamic interplay that defines life in this corner of Tanzania.
While the baboons play on the ground, the red colobus monkey travels through the trees above. A highly arboreal species with vibrant fur and agile movements, they gracefully navigate the canopy, evading terrestrial threats by leaping between trees.
