by J B Mulcahy, submitted by Diana Goodrich at the Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest.
The sanctuary is home to seven chimpanzees released from biomedical research two years ago. Missy and Annie, in the photo, are best friends at the sanctuary (Missy is on the left). Kissing like this is not uncommon in chimpanzee society and is often used to provide reassurance or share excitement over something.
