How do they collect wild chimp urine for testing?
By holding a bag below them when they pee or pipetted from pooled urine on leaf litter

Imagine spending weeks in the jungle holding a camouflaged urine collection bag under a chimpanzee while also dodging falling chimpanzee shit. What a life.
No standups, no Workday goals, just nature. And piss. And flying shit. What a lucky guy.
