Chimp & See Talk

Mystery lovers identified? -- Ralph and Maggie??

    @Snorticus found this great set of a male and female copulating: ACP0005e8s, ACP0005e8t, ACP0005e8u, ACP0005e8v.

    I'm suggesting that this is Ralph (medium build, big round head, small bald spot in the center of the forehead, small eyes, dark face, white beard) and Maggie (stockier trunk with skinnier arms and legs, left eyebrow goes up, shiny bald forehead, white beard).

    For comparison, here's the link to the Ralph tag group ( http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/collections/CCPL00009l), and the Maggie tag group ( http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/collections/CCPL0000ak).

    I'll also include these two videos: ACP00054hk and ACP00054hl, which I earlier ( http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/boards/BCP000000k/discussions/DCP00009ix and http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/boards/BCP000000k/discussions/DCP000095w?page=1&comment_id=55b3e60f469d926bf1000120) proposed were of Ralph and Maggie.

    As bonus (but weaker) evidence, I'll say the swellings on the females all seem to be the same shape and color (though unsurprisingly some are lighter/darker in color, and they're different sizes). Also, we know that females can have preferences for certain males -- if it's Maggie and Ralph in ACP00054hk and ACP00054hl, that makes it somewhat more likely that it's them again here -- perhaps they are even consort partners.

    Hi jwidness,
    I can see the similitude between this female and Maggie, and specially now that we have said that CDFem06 could be also Maggie, because the shape of the body reminds me also to CDFem06. But I am not 100% sure, i just because of the body shape. Do you mind if we keep in mind, but we don't do the match until meet more chimps in this site? I worry if suddenly one new female appear with similar features...

    But, for now, I agree!

    Can we wait until confirm that actually CDFem06 is also Maggie?

    About the male, it happens more or less the same. He reminds me to Ralph, but also to CDMale05 and CDMale05a...

    I so sorry, but since they are far is difficult to be sure... can we wait a little to decide about this serie?, it make sense??
    Thanks a lot

    No problem! I really don't mind waiting to be sure -- it's always better to be safe! I think of my job as trying to match up even the worst videos, and your job as being skeptical so the matches are the best quality : )

    It never offends me if you want to wait or you think the video isn't good enough to match : )
