Chimpanzee Displays Gratitude by Washing JC Pieri’s Hands

Chimpanzee Displays Gratitude by Washing JC Pieri's Hands
  • Wildlife photographer JC Pieri captured a video of a chimpanzee washing his hands after drinking water from them.
  • The video has gone viral, with people praising the chimpanzee’s intelligence and compassion.
  • Pieri has other videos of his interactions with the chimpanzee, which show their close bond.

Wildlife photographer and French director JC Pieri posted a video that beautifully captures this touching interaction. In the footage, Pieri is sitting with a chimpanzee who gestures for his help in drinking water. The compassionate chimp uses Pieri’s hand to collect water from the ground and drinks from it.

However, what truly tugs at the heartstrings is when the chimpanzee goes the extra mile and gently washes Pieri’s hands after drinking from them, displaying its care and trust towards its human companion. This remarkable moment exemplifies the deep bond that can exist between humans and animals, leaving everyone in awe of the connection they share.

Camilla is ‘nicer’ than Princess Diana, according to Diana’s photographer

Camilla

Princess Diana has long been regarded as one of the most popular members of the royal family, but Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, according to one royal photographer, is ‘nicer’ than she was.

Photographer Arthur Edwards told Stellar magazine that during his experience photographing the royal family, he’s found Camilla to be far simpler to work with than Princess Diana.

“Diana has been dead for 25 years, so people’s memories are slipping, and they’ve embraced Camilla,” said Edwards.

He further shared: “You know what? Camilla is nicer than Diana. Easier to get on with.”

Edwards also said: “Diana used to have her moods, and when she died, she wasn’t talking to her mother or Sarah Ferguson because of silly rows. You don’t get that with the Duchess.”

Diana and Camilla were famous love rivals, vying for the attention of the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles.

In fact, Charles and Camilla’s romance led to the end of his marriage with Diana and after her death in 1997, the two finally tied the knot in 2005.
