In this video I explain the myriad of reasons why animals, especially primates, groom.

Otherwise there will be none left over.
The reason that Cindy is so sociable with a human is because she grew up orphaned - her parents were victims of the illegal pet trade - in the care of humans, at the reputable African Wildlife Orphanage, Chipangali, from the moment that she was a baby.
While volunteering at the wildlife orphanage in Zimbabwe, I realized Cindy had a real appetite for my hair…
Naturally, I started researching about primate grooming behavior to find out what the hell is going on...
In the end, I decided to dedicate a whole video about grooming behavior because I found it fascinating.
Interested in how I got to volunteer with Cindy and lots of other incredible wildlife in Zimbabwe? Just hit me up on Instagram (@matthias.pav) or Facebook (Matthias Páv), and I'll do my best to answer your questions about wildlife volunteering and share tips on visiting this project.
Knowing I've inspired action truly makes my day!
