I just want to take a moment to appreciate my professor who is not just my mentor but my friend who shares the same love of all primates. When I took her Primate Behavior class I finally knew what my calling in life was. And for that I thank her. I hope one day to be like her and make her proud. This picture was taken when she was teaching two baby orangutans and a baby chimpanzee sign language. 🙈 #mentor #professor #primates #primate #primatology #chimpanzee #orangutan #asl #signlanguage #friend #gpz #zoo #primatebehavior #primateresearch #internationalwomansday (at 🐵🌴 Gladys Porter Zoo 🌴🐵)
