 Multi Purpose Groom - LP Zoo

The Japanese macaques do do

A lot of grooming 'twixt and 'tween,

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo,

That makes for a more social scene.

A hygienic purpose there be

For one to groom another where

The other can't reach easily,

Getting out bad stuff that be there.

But more important is the bond

That the monkeys like to display,

Part of a cultural respond

To act in a groomingful way.

Grooming is based on rank and sex,

A simple act but yet complex.
