Yay new site and discovered my first unlabeled chimp! ACP0005a9lACP0005a9m This guy has his back to camera. Robust male. Big healthy ears with no damage. Very pale beard. Thick black fur. Slightly grey lower half of back. In my unscientific opinion - very handsome!
Hi Snorticus!!
Very clear video but really hard to ID without seen the face or something very peculiar of his back.
Let's see what more we can find in 8 - Crimson Dew!
thanks a lot 😉
ACP0005a9m I guess I was so surprised to find an unlabeled chimp clip that I missed the most obvious of this chimp's traits - his right arm is missing above the elbow.
She talks about that chimp with no right arm and thinks his foot might be missing, which would be an additional chimp with no right arm. I couldn't decide if this foot was maimed/missing, or if he was just using the sideways hopping as a strategy to get down the hill faster using only three limbs to catch up with the first chimp.
That's a good point. Personally, I think his odd gait (in ACP0004zng) is not due to any missing feet, just perhaps the missing arm and the incline. You can see his right foot clearly when he takes a step at second 1 (between previews 1 and 2) and you can see his left foot when he takes the next step at second 5 (between previews 5 and 6). I think I'm leaning toward the idea that there is just one male missing a right forearm....
That would essentially mean that this guy ACP0004vc9 is the one one-armed chimp, too. Same gait and he holds the arm just like the other one-armed for balance. Might be. The arm could be hidden by the tree due to his position but could be that there is none. (Grayness of back would match and size and color of testicles, too.)
ACP0004vc9 To me it looks like he hops to get over a liana root that curves out into his path. Can't actually see if right arm is missing but the posture seems similar to clips of Dodge leaning far left for balance on his single arm when moving forward.
