"Fifi"and "Lulu"the London Zoo
" Fifi" and " Lulu" the London Zoos three year old Chimpanzees are encouraged to blow any kind of musical instrument. It is good for their lungs as Chimpanzees are very vunerable to winter chills and bronchil infections. They show their lung fitness by the noise they can get out of these instruments. When these pictures were taken they were " practising Christmas carols ready for their Christmas party on December 21st". Left to right Fifi and Lulu. November 1953 P004112

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print titled ""Fifi" and "Lulu" the London Zoo's three-year-old Chimpanzees" we are transported back to November 1953. Fifi and Lulu, two adorable chimpanzees, are captured in a moment of musical mischief at the zoo. The London Zoo staff encourages these playful primates to blow various musical instruments as part of their lung fitness routine. Chimpanzees, being vulnerable to winter chills and bronchial infections, benefit greatly from exercising their lungs. And what better way to showcase their lung strength than by creating cacophonous melodies with trumpets? These mischievous chimps take great pride in the noise they can produce from these instruments. The photograph was taken during one of their practice sessions for an upcoming event - a Christmas party on December 21st. Fifi and Lulu were diligently preparing themselves by practicing Christmas carols, adding a touch of festive cheer to their repertoire. As we gaze upon this delightful image, we witness Fifi and Lulu engrossed in their musical endeavors. Their expressions exude joy and curiosity as they explore the world of music through brass instruments. This heartwarming snapshot captures not only the humor but also the intelligence and adaptability of these incredible animals. This nostalgic glimpse into the past reminds us that even our animal friends have unique talents waiting to be discovered.
