an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint

the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

Far Side cartoon with a female chimpanzee grooming a male chimpanzee

“Well, well - another blond hair. … Conducting a little more ‘research’ with that Jane Goodall tramp?”

Jane Goodall, eminent primatologist who chronicled the lives of chimps, dies at 91

One of the world’s most revered conservationists, she earned scientific stature and global celebrity by chronicling the distinctive behavior of wild chimpanzees in East Africa.

A serene, peaceful scene of a woman clad only in the splash of her water magic casts flower petals as she rides a large, muscular, black horse on the surface of a calm, mirror-smooth lake. A large snow-covered mountain looms behind, reflected in the lake's water. Delicate hoof prints leave small ripples in the still water behind the horse and rider.
