Itchy adult looking up- juvenile soon appears

  • lauraklynn by lauraklynn moderator

    In video ACP0006kno, we have a nice clip of an adult (I'm thinking female), who seems to be interested in something up in the trees:

    Sequence continues through ACP0006knp, and in ACP0006knq, a young juvenile shows up:

    We get another glimpse of the juvenile's face in ACP0006knr:

    I agree with you, I think she is a female too.

    Thanks 😃

    If I remember correctly that tree on the right is a fig tree, indeed very interesting 😃

    This might be her again. Very dark adult female followed by a young juvenile (more infant, I think). Baldness, straight brows, big nostrils, gray beard and as the female described here previously - she has a damaged left ear. ACP0006kro

    Female from ACP0006knp - damaged left ear well visible. Age of infant fits.

    Same day, some hours later. Damaged ear very hard to see - might be suggestive: ACP0006kso, the little guy follows in ACP0006ksp.

    Definitely looks like the same adult female in ACP0006kro to me.

    Hi @AnLand,

    I agree with you, I think these ladies and infants are a potential match.

    I used to give all the prospective chimps a temporary ID before the definitive one, even though it was quite clear to me that we had found a match. So if you are ok I will keep my old IDing system.

    I am calling them DL11Female8 / DL11Infant7 ( ACP0006kro ), DL11Female9 ( ACP0006kso ) and DL11Infant8 ( ACP0006ksp ), and wait for other´s opinions...but I personally agree with you that these are the same guys 😃.

    By the way, DL11Infant8 deserves a place in the "Chimp playschool" board.
