Some stories are just too adorable not to share, and this one about a runaway chimp is definitely one of them. With Ukraine locked in conflict for months, the usual flow of visitors at the Kharkiv Zoo had slowed significantly.

Whether they give you space when you’re frustrated or snuggle up when you’re down, it’s clear they just know. But how exactly do they pick up on our feelings?
