Chimp & See Talk

Luise - Female adult with "Italian" face chewing on a palm leaf

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator

    Since this chimp here has such a unique face, offering frontal and profile views I would like to get him/her a temporary ID.
    To me it looks like a female but I'm not entirely sure. At least I can't see dangling.

    She has a seemingly narrow face with a dark protruding muzzle, slightly brighter on the cheeks/under the eyes. Protruding, only slightly curved brows. On the right one is a little whitish knob. Bushy black sideburns and the face looks like it had a designer stubble hence my impression as an Italian look 😃 Both ears are present and rounded with no obvious deformation. Smaller, V-shaped nostrils.The most distinctive trait is a square shaped bald spot on h/er forehead. Thinner hair on the inside of the arms.

    Might this be part of the sequence? ACP000auje - if yes, female. (This might be the start of your sequence: ACP000auch.)

    Great! And what a pretty (young) lady! As you guys mentioned I agree these are all the same sequence. Let's give her a prospective name of CFFem01 ! 😃

    PHENOMENAL description by the way, @Boleyn !!!

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator

    Obviously she likes to hang out at this particular place. There's another video of her at the same place but not the same date.
    The light is a bit brighter but I'm sure it's CFFem01 (found by @Henrik87 refound by @Dana23)

    Hmmm... intriguing! What convinces you it's a match @Boleyn ? I grabbed some comparison shots:

    Thanks for that overview @northernlimitptv Looking at it it's just about everything about her that suggests a match: the shape of the face, the coloring, the protruding whitish brows, the deep eyes, the fulffy sideburns, the balding spot on her forehead a little more to the right, her Italian stubble I think she looks rather unique. 😄

    ACP000auje I would add that she has great cheekbones! and one or possibly two white spots at the base of her left thumb.

    ACP000aucp Also seen here.

    ACP000aucg She also has a small cut on the inside ridge of her right ear but it's not always visible.

    LOL @Snorticus very nice cheekbones indeed! Thank you for input. very well spotted!

    She also has a little deformation at the outer ridge of her right ear. It's a bit harder to see in the first video but definitely there and very well seen in the new video.

    I'm convinced @Boleyn ! Just wanted to hear a few characteristics to tie it down 😄 What should we call CFFem01 ?

    Posted

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator

    Thank you @northernlimitptv for the opportunity, very much appreciated!

    It's not that I do not like this lovely chimp lady but I just had the fun and honour to recently name three chimps.

    So if you don't mind, I would like to pass the naming right to one of our diligent classifying volunteers who has not yet named a chimp. Without them I would never have found the last video ACP000aucg. Now @Dana23 could just name a chimp at dawnbird therefore I'd like @Henrik87 to name her. If he's still around 😃 ok? Thanks!!

  • Henrik87 by Henrik87

    Yeah, i'm still around, and feel really honored. I will discuss an appropriate name with my daughter who helps me checking the videos with much enthusiasm. Thanks a lot folks 😃

    Hi @Henrik87,

    please check this list of names already taken: http://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/boards/BCP000000i/discussions/DCP00001dp

    No name can be used twice. A(n obvious) variation is possible. Thanks!

  • Henrik87 by Henrik87

    So after a good week of discussion we would like to name her #Luise

    I haven't seen the name in the list so far and i hope it's adequate for all of you.
    Are there any formalitys i have to do further to name her oficially?

    Cheers Henrik

  • northernlimitptv by northernlimitptv scientist, moderator

    Luise it is, great name! No more formalities... I'll take care of the rest 😄

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator

    Good things take some time @Henrik87 and this is a very good name for that special ladychimp! I like it, thanks!

  • Snorticus by Snorticus

    I was just wondering if she had a name yet - Luise is very nice!

  • ksigler by ksigler moderator

    Ahh, that's awesome! My great-grandmother's name is Louise (close enough), and this matching discussion started on her 94th birthday! Thanks, @Boleyn & @Henrik87 for working that out. lol 😉

    This young female reminds me a lot of Luise: general body build and swelling, long and fluffy fur, light face coloration, oval ears, flat, but broad nostrils, slightly rounded brows, general movement

    Twenty minutes later, a young female is climbing down that tree. ACP000bc8m That might be her again (body build and swelling fits).

  • Boleyn by Boleyn moderator in response to AnLand's comment.

    Oh yes @AnLand I think you found her again. Although the light is very different from the first videos. The face and escpecially the nose and brows are very similar. Unfortunately we cannot see her left hand with the white spot @Sorticus pointed out but still I'm sure it's our Italian girl 😃

  • northernlimitptv by northernlimitptv scientist, moderator

    Yep! I think so too 😄 Will update it all now!
