Going Ape

World Chimpanzee Day, who would have known. They are all very nice, but my favorite would be the issue from the Czech Republic.

There also is World Orang-utan Day ...

But let's stick to the chimpanzees for now:




This 2025 issue which shows Jane Goodall on one of the stamps is also available as 2 MSs of 4. More Sierra Leone:






A maxi card from South Sudan, 2026 issue.



One of my favorite more "historic" issues, Gambia 1996.




Guinea 2025, one of a set "Biodiversity".

Cobie, thanks for the reminder. Orangutan Day is held each August 18th. If I remember, I will post several orangutan stamps.
