😔. She lived a long & fulfilling life. Her primatology / animal / anthropology / conservation studies + work with chimpanzees were inspiring.

Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.

Rest in peace to Jane Goodall, whose tireless activism for animal welfare and the environment should never be forgetten.

A 2025 study found that wild chimpanzees likely get about 14 grams of alcohol a day from fermented fruit, which works out to roughly 2 to 2.5 human drinks when adjusted for their body size. A 2026 follow-up urine study backed that up and said it supports the “drunken monkey” idea that humans may have inherited some appetite for alcohol from fruit-eating primate ancestors.

I posted the ear thing last week, and already it's trending among the chimps.

"Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp" (1970-1971, ABC) was a spy spoof series with only chimpanzees who were given dubbed voices. It was one of the first Saturday Morning shows to have a large budget, and was made by former Get Smart writers. It featured Lance Link, a spy with a Humphrey Bogart imitation voice who was a spy for APE (Agency to Prevent Evil), and his female sidekick, Mata Hairi.

Having a chimpanzee in the cast was a standard feature of live action Saturday Morning shows for some time after this in the 70s (e.g. ARK II).

Wild Chimps Consume The Equivalent of a Beer a Day, Study Finds

Chimpanzees consume the equivalent of at least one alcoholic drink per day as they eat ripe, fermenting fruit, says a study out Wednesday that addresses one possible reason why humans are drawn to booze. The study, carried out in the wilds of Africa where the animals live, supports the theory that people may have inherited from primates a taste for alcohol and ability to metabolize it even though it is toxic for us. The researchers collected fruits that chimps eat and measured their ethanol content, which is produced as sugar ferments. They concluded that these evolutionary cousins of ours consume alcohol on a daily basis. And not just a little. Through the large amount of fruit that chimps eat, the researchers reckon the animals take in about 14 grams (half an ounce) of alcohol per day.
