    Hmm, that's an unusual shaped swelling on the female. Very distinctive. Kind of looks like a "crescent roll over a bagel" - not seen one shaped quite like that before. 😉

    "crescent roll" hihi ... yes, I thought same direction. So I tried to make a snap, maybe, we will see "crescent" again 😃

    ACP000e43n This juvenile looks like AVJuv02 also. Thick light colored arched brow ridge meeting in a dark line above nose. Dark eye mask that curves down around the rounded lighter muzzle. Chimp may have a white spot on the inside of right wrist - not sure if that is permanent.

    Both ears have a horizontal ridge about 1/2 way around the curve of the rim.

    The female the juvenile follows (the mother?) looks like she's bald on the front of her crown and has some grey on her lower back in addition to her unusual lady-bits 😉

    This looks like AVJuv02 again (12-19-2014 the day after the ACP000fw71 series) at the same nut cracking spot but with a male chimp and another juvenile.

    Hi all!

    @Snorticus, so your matches options for ACP000e43n are AVJuv02 and AVJuv03

    And to be honest I find AVJuv02 and AVJuv03 very similar between them. Maybe Juv02 has a more elongated face and Juv03 more round. Juv03 could be slightly younger...

    There is not chimp visible around ACP000e43n to help us

    I am going to add the juv from ACP000e43n as AVJuv02b writing that could be AVJuv02 or AVJuv03 until we decide.

    Thanks a lot 😉

    Great the new video from AVJuv02 and mom. Now that we have a better view from her I am going to add her in the list as AVFem03.

    @luca-chimp I see what you mean and put this one in my notes as possibly her again. She passes quickly but it seems she may have the bald front of the head also. I hope we can eventually find a good view of her rear AND her face in the same clip 😃

    hahahah, it's true is being difficult see her face + back in the same video.

    any opinion about AVJuv02b? AVJuv02 or AVJuv03, or a new one :p ?
