In this delightful snapshot captured by Arthur Sidey, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Twycross Zoo in December 1981. Meet Louis the Chimp, a charismatic and intelligent primate who has found an amusing way to pass his time - playing bingo! Sporting a pair of reading glasses that add a touch of sophistication to his playful demeanor, Louis can be seen intently examining his bingo numbers with a pen in hand. Louis's expressive eyes reveal both excitement and concentration as he carefully checks off each called number on his card. His charmingly human-like behavior is truly captivating, reminding us once again of the remarkable similarities between our closest animal relatives and ourselves. The photograph perfectly captures the essence of the 1980s era with its warm tones and vintage aesthetic. It transports us back to a time when simple pleasures like playing games at the zoo brought joy not only to visitors but also to its inhabitants.

This print serves as a heartwarming reminder that even in unexpected moments, animals possess their own unique personalities and abilities that continue to fascinate us all these years later.
