I recieved Mystic Moon and London Fog from GC and omg. These are the coolest lipsticks ever. My phone camera can’t even capture the shimmeryness of London Fog.
The fuck is this. The fuck. There’s sparklies inside. ……….someone, somewhere. Get me the thing.
Happy New Year to you as well! Honestly it’s a bit of both. Old world monkeys and apes will bite their nails when a nail becomes too long or damaged. Nails will also show some wear from normal use through the jungle / enclosure, and will generally chip / break before they grow too long. It’s all just another part of primate self-care / grooming!
While not a huge worry on its own, long nails can* serve as a warning sign and let keepers / caretakers know that this particular animal may not be taking care of themselves as expected. Long nails, like a poorly groomed coat, can indicate lethargy, depression, pain, or illness.
*Note: Occasionally long nails are simply a behavioral oddity due to individual preference like with the chimp Annie (hand) who is facial grooming [re. nose picking] Missy pictured below. Chimpanzee Sanctuary North West
On the opposite end of the spectrum, keepers & caretakers also are on the look out for over grooming (of nails or hair), which may be a sign of stress and anxiety. Although anxiety behaviors are a normal reaction, we keep an eye on these animals / situations since this behavior has the potential to develop into more concerning self-injurious behaviors.
TL;DR: If necessary, a primate’s nails can be trimmed with a standard nail clipper during a physical… but (in my experience) this is rarely needed and captive primates are generally left to maintain their own nail care preferences just like their wild counterparts.

The yellow crested weedfish lives in Australia’s southern
waters. It does its best to look like a piece of kelp – including moving
like one. This individual was drifting back and forth in the surge at
North Bondi, in about 18 m of water.
