    Hi @lesleylupo,

    Welcome! I hope you enjoy Chimp & See. Yes, this is a female adult chimp (the mother) carrying her infant on the back.

    Hi @Dana23,

    yes, this is the video before and with that the same family (but not a match!). So, we now have a face for the infant and maybe one could recognize the female's swelling again. Might be possible.

    For posting pictures you need to click the little photo frame (sixth icon from left) and copy the URL in. Thanks!

    Thanks, all! From the rear end, we can exclude Robin and Lesley (2 of the 3 females with infants ID'd so far). It could be Pandora but it's difficult to say because we haven't gotten a good look at her rear end yet. However, this infant's face and brow appear to have a different shape than Pandora's infant, RSInf03, and this female's face looks like it may be lighter than Pandora's from what we see in ACP000bmg6:

    one

    So for now we can work under the assumption that they are new. I will add them to the prospective chimps list as RSFem04 and RSInf04.

    Might it be that they are Lesley and RSInf03?

    Back view Lesley

    Infant's size, flat nose, and whitish beard fit

    And Lesley's infant is sitting low on her back (so is Pandora's infant, but that is considerably smaller and the facial features do not fit)

    Hmm, not sure why I previously ruled out Lesley but she seems like a good possibility!

    I still vote Lesley here and especially in light of our recent Lesley discussion!
