Abile is a boy

  • AnLand by AnLand moderator

    I've just seen this while tagging the chimp count: Abile is a boy. Seen in ACP00028zm and other videos from that long scene.

    Wow! Good catch, @Anland ! We've gotten a lot better at observing since way back then.

    I didn't realize he was listed as female in the known chimps -- @perfecti noted him as male in this discussion

    Well, Abile is a girl's name. That's why I checked the list. So, we can blame @Quia for the confusion 😉 Sorry, @perfecti, I did not look at all in any of the discussions. I think, @ScottHensieck mentioned also in one video comment that I saw later during tagging that he thinks that it's a boy. I just posted to correct the list. All my fault.

    Nobody's fault! And it's good to get it corrected for the official list : )

    Out of curiosity, do you know any females named Abile? I didn't really think of it as either a male or female name, but that's just me.

    I cannot say why, but for me it's totally a female name. It always has been. I never dealt much with Abile as I wasn't here for the most part of Cool Silence (that's why I tag and enjoy watching the videos now). But I thought always about him as a girl. So, I have been irritated when recognizing that the little one is actually - and without any doubt - a boy.
