Chimp & See Talk

camera reaction here

    Hi,

    Just not to write long posts below the video.

    The walking one: I do not see testicles, and I think I see the swelling, but still it seems to me that this is a male.....

    Is there any significance in the movements while looking at the camera?

    Thanks,

    tina

    Hi @tina_pixie_

    The chimp on the right is a male. It's Oden I think. I don't think that his scratching and glancing in the direction of the camera has any significance. I am not even sure about a camera reaction as he looks not at the camera. For any power / dominance gesture he would try to make himself look bigger - piloerect the hair, getting more up, wide arms, something like this.

    There was some discussion that scratching can be a social gesture (e.g., wish to be groomed), but I can't find it right now.
