Chimp & See Talk

Chimp family at a termite mound

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator

    Two days ago I found these videos: ACP0006tf9 ACP0006tfa ACP0006tfb ACP0006tfc

    It's a female, a juvenile and an infant. Here's a shot of the infant:

    And the best I could find from mother and infant:

    To me this infant looks very much like DL11Infant6. The same big head and relatively small limbs. As much as I can see the mother looks also like DL11Female7. They too have a juvenile around.
    I'm looking forward to other opinions!

    this is a nice trio 😃

    they get a temporary ID, and will be added to the list of possible matches together with Female7/Infant6. You are right, the infants look quite alike, but the mom is really hard to tell. Both have dark face, but we have actually seen many dark chimps at this site 😕

    Let´s see what the others think about it...

    Thanks!!
