Some of her final advice prior to her passing:
“Focus on the present and make choices today whose impact will build over time.”
she’ll definitely R.I.P. Say hello to that great big chimp/monkey/gorilla in the sky for me
Harambe?
If I was a betting man… yes, Harambe
Dicks out, gents. Dicks out…
King Kong?
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I just got that.
Yeah, King Kong. That big ass dude fell a long time in the sky while he was falling.
A true cause for flying flags at half mast.
But she wasn’t a bigot, she doesn’t qualify.
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.

Wasn’t just Goodall, she was Bestall
The longer I live in this magaverse, the more I understand the desire to go live with chimpanzees.
The actual civilized primates.
Only true if America begins performing military raids on Canada and eating their babies.
Chimpanzees are brutal
Hey, leave Canada out of this. Go eat someone else’s babies.
It’s only natural, look it’s what our closest living relatives do. It’s in our dna
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
Orangutans are pretty chill.
Has she done research on bonobos? I think she mostly focused on pan troglodytes mostly
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 keep trying to get my buddies to do a group groom session after we go disc golfing, but they aren’t interested.
honestly, that sounds amazing, ill join your disc golfing group!
Back in the ‘90s, my grad student roommate was studying how tanzanian chimps use certain plants only for antiparasitic effect. Quite effective and too small in quantity to be food. Medicine.
Apes together strong.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-ay to chimpan-zee.
💎✋
If you knew anything about chimpanzees, you wouldn’t say that.
If you knew anything about the magaverse, you wouldn’t question it.
91 impactful years. I hope to leave quarter of a legacy that she does. Rest in power.
She was one of the best of us monkeys…😪
Apes. RIP.
Dicks out for Jane Goodall?
She was a classy lady, she might not have understood the gesture, but she would have weathered it with grace.
…the past couple (or like… 7) decades must have been absolutely maddening.
Rest well ma’am.
The Simpsons parodied her as a diamond mine owner who used the chimps to mine it
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!
And the world gets a little bit more bitter. RIP Jane ❤️🐒
Oh thought she had already done that. Well, broken clock rights this one.
