Jane Goodall Instagram – Do you notice anything unique about this chimpanzee, Skosha? Those captivating eyes! In this footage, Skosha exhibits pronounced sclera, a rarity among wild chimpanzees. While the significance of this trait remains a subject of curiosity and exploration, some researchers speculate that it could play an important role in non-verbal communication. 👀 This footage was captured in 1999 at JGI’s Gombe Stream Research Center (@gombestream), where Skosha lived until her passing on December 8, 2003. Research continues to this day at Gombe — the longest-running wild chimpanzee study in the world! 🐵 Inspired?
