#DidYouKnow that Dr. Goodall is not only one of the most impressive scientists, but an amazing photographer, too! In this photo, captured by Jane herself in 1993, Fanni and her son Fax of the 'F Family,' can be seen playing together. Playing is a vital source of development for chimpanzees. As they play, they learn key social and behavioral skills that are essential to their survival. Fanni's grandmother, the famous Flo, was the grand matriarch when Dr. Goodall first arrived at Gombe. Sadly, Flo's great grandson Fax passed away at an early age, and Fanni gave birth to five children later on.
