Wild chimpanzee looking for food

Description of a chimpanzee’s mental world based on a picture, by Linda Evans.

The chimpanzee in the picture

Is looking for food. Is hungry. Is very hungry, hasn’t eaten anything for quite some time, yet he has drunk. He knows where to go to find food: to a bunch of trees where he can pick fruit and where other chimpanzees are as well.

Linda Evans describes a chimpanzee’s mental world based on the picture below.

Is feeling good, is contented. Has food every day, the food simply is there, lives a carefree life. No longer needs to look for food like he used to, no longer needs to fight for a piece of food with other monkeys.

Mental world of a chimpanzee (Chimp Clint) on the basis of a picture, by Linda Evans

I sense the personality and the mental state of an animal or a person in a picture as it was on the moment the picture was taken.
