The footage is not great quality, but I wanted to list all together a bunch of videos found by lots of different users from the morning of 7/12/2013. I think they show 3 different moms, 3 large infants (all mostly walking independently), and 2 fairly large juveniles, but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly which kids belong with which moms. All of the previews are pretty terrible, so I decided not to include any 😕
8:39 ACP00072gc from the left: an adult female (maybe with an infant walking in front of her? it kind of looks like something is there, but it could just be a trick of the light), an adult female (with infant walking behind/beside her), and a large juvenile.
8:47 ACP00072gkACP00072gl from the right: a mom with infant walking behind her, a large juvenile disappearing up a vine, another large juvenile starts up the vine, a large infant descends the vine (I did a double take when I realized this was not the chimp that disappeared up the vine!), a large infant walking on the ground, another adult female, and a third adult female. I think this sequence shows all the individuals in the party that morning.
8:55 ACP00072gw from the left: a large juvenile (I think one of the two from the end of ACP00072gr), an adult female, a large infant
10:26 ACP00072dw from the right: a large infant, and an adult female
10:31 ACP00072dgACP00072dhACP00072diACP00072dj from the left: a mom with dorsal infant, a large juvenile, some movement in the bushes that I think is another chimp, a mom, and large infant (who rides dorsally for a few steps). The second mom looks like she's checking back for more party members, but the video ends and there isn't another one after it.
I think the 3 moms, 3 large infants, and 2 juveniles coming from the right in the 8:47 sequence all appear again in the 8:50/8:55 sequences coming from the left. It also looks to me that each large infant belongs to a different mom, and the 2 large juveniles are probably not siblings. I don't see the 4 member grey-leg-mom family in any of them.
I don't think the matching prospects are particularly good at this point given the lack of good face shots and general poor quality of the videos, but maybe this will be useful to someone.
you are right, they cannot be propective chimps because of we can´t see any relevant trait; they will go anyway to our spreadsheet (whenever I get the chance to edit it 😦 )...but I was just wondering (this is only a feeling, I am absolutely not sure): do you also see a bald patch on the female´s back in ACP00072di or is it the light ? (better seen in the video, more or less sec. 7)
