Limbani the chimpanzee wasn't able to contain his excitement when he was recently reunited with the couple who helped save his life. His old caregiver Jorge and his wife, Tania, gave the chimp around-the-clock care for the first few months of his life. Conservationists at the Zoological Wildlife Foundation of Miami say Limbani greets them like this every time he sees them.

When i was growing up I was told by a lot of adults that animals had no souls. Well they were older and supposedly wiser. But after 7 decades on earth I know now that they were so wrong.

Reminds us how much they FEEL. We have to help them in the wild and make sure they exist.
