59-Year-Old Chimp Refuses To Eat And Drink. But Watch When She Sees An Old Friend

One chimpanzee, a 59-year-old female named Mama, lived a life that most rescued chimps would dream of. She was the matriarch of her group within the Royal Burgers' Zoo in Arnhem, Netherlands, and commanded the respect of everyone who crossed her path!

According to the zoo staff, Mama was refusing to eat and drink! This behavior was common for chimps who were close to passing away, and at 59 years old, it was clear her time was coming to an end.

Then her friend Jan van Hooff, who was taking care of her in 1972, came by. Once you will see their last moment of goodbye, you will need some tissues.
