Harry looks like he has something to say.

That serious face, those deep brown eyes, looking straight at you as though he's waiting for you to understand. There's something incredibly special about chimpanzees: intelligent, expressive, and so familiar in ways that are hard to ignore. With Harry, it's all there in his face.

What he's trying to tell us, I'm still not sure.

Maybe he's not waiting for us to understand him. Maybe he's waiting for us to pay attention.
