Juvenile chimp with damaged ear?

    Very short sequence in bad quality, but if I see it correctly the juvenile chimp has a badly damaged right ear. Not well seen in the picture, but maybe in the video. Can anybody confirm this? ACP0003vc1, ACP0003vc7 (Cannot see whether this is the start of the scene. There seems to be the back of an adult chimp.)

    I was so concentrated on its ear that I missed totally the "thing" at the end. Probably another chimp? Although it looks not dark at all. Very gray back?

    I agree, looks like an adult chimp with a light back, but that could be due partially to the early morning/night vision. Too bad it doesn't show its face.

    It really looks like a cut on its ear.

    the `thingĀ“ is another chimp (probably an adult) šŸ˜‰

    although itĀ“s a very identifiable trait, the video quality is very poor for ID. But letĀ“s keep him in mind in case we find another juvenile with a similar cut.
