    Don't you even think about it David Attenborough.

    One of legends of the 20th century. Special person.

    Saw Jane Goodall speak a few weeks ago and she sounded great. Glad we did.

    First Shakur. Now Goodall. We lost some great women.

    Jane was a class act, a total bad ass, and a huge inspiration for a little nature nerd (like I was at 6).

    Sad to see her go, but she's left a huge mark on science and conservation and inspired thousands.

    Now I'm a big nature nerd, and work to save it. Thanks for the guiding light, Jane.

    A true cause for flying flags at half mast.

    The longer I live in this magaverse, the more I understand the desire to go live with chimpanzees.

    Their version of universal healthcare is picking the bugs off of each other, and it's still more than is guaranteed to most Americans.

    I get and appreciate the sentiment but Jane's own research showed how sadly chimpanzees are the same as us. War raids, murder, infanticide, rape and even torture.

    They're our closest cousins and we all suck in the same way at a base level.

    Yeah chimps are actually some of the worst right? Their lives are kinda like a constant warzone. They also even do assassinations

    If we're going for the "good" apes, then gibbons and bonobos would be the best bet, from what I understand. Though gibbons aren't in the same category (I forget which taxonomy level it's at), they're "lesser" apes. The only species of lesser apes still living too, I think. Not as great as the rest of us apes, apparently

    And that's me done showing off some of my very basic knowledge of primates

    Only true if America begins performing military raids on Canada and eating their babies.

    Chimpanzees are brutal

    My condoms.... Condolences. Autocorrect ducks in my phone.

    Anyway, remember watching her videos on KPBS and learning about chimpanzees and bonobos, gorillas and orangutans because of her. She was awesome.

    My condoms. All my condoms!

    The Simpsons parodied her as a diamond mine owner who used the chimps to mine it
