Enjoyed this link. thanks.

Is this true though?

"Only recently have scientists accorded chimpanzees, so closely related to humans we can share blood transfusions".

For the quote I looked it up on google quickly and didn't find any reliable sources. I saw a few things stating it but nothing trustworthy. I assume it may be possible but I can't confirm that.

Thanks for trying, I asked only after exhausting the same options. I wasn't able to find a reliable source either. It seems to me I would have read about this though, it's a substantial finding. Either way, I enjoyed the link... it gave me an increased appreciation for Octopi.
