Kamala and Bea--AVJuv04.
-
by PauDG scientist, moderator
Hi all,
most of the times we see Filou, Marlyn and other juvenile we talk about "the other juvenile", meaning the other juvenile that always goes with them, AVJuv04.
In "her" Tag Group there are at least 2 different sequences, and I do thing that also the one seen with Marlyn in these videos is AVJuv04.
If we really think is always her (or at least in these videos), we could give her a name.
What do you think?
Thanks for your opinionsPosted

Hi,
OK, I had a look. There is nothing really special about AVJuv04. It seems to be a girl. She is a bit taller and rounder than Marlyn. The face looks different (but I cannot describe - more girl-like?) and the ears are perfectly rounded, no pronounced "ridges" like Marlyn.
I think I agree with https://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/boards/BCP000000s/discussions/DCP00018qs, ACP000fw91, ACP000fw92, https://talk.chimpandsee.org/#/boards/BCP000000s/discussions/DCP00017za, ACP000fw3z etc., ACP000fw32 etc., ACP000fw3t etc. (there might be doubles in it, I just went to the discussions and Marlyn videos separately)
I also think that she is rather AVJuv03b, not Marlyn (face, girl part???, not visible spots, size hardly estimable for me), also in ACP000fw9p should be her not Marlyn.
As I said, nothing really special. More the three of them together and some consistencies.

Hi all
in ACP000fw9p Marlyn is on the back, barely visible. See the sequence here ACP000fw9m, ACP000fw9n, ACP000fw9p. About AVJuv03b I am not sure...
With the rest I agree.
Any of you want to name this juv?
Thanks a lot for your opinions 😉

I already named Marlyn, I'm good. @bannd67 and @sydself are new(er) volunteers that did not name a chimp, I think. Maybe one of them wants?

If you both agree, I would propose @lauraklynn to name this chimp, she has been participating in the discussions, but she has not named a chimp yet.

ACP000f6m7 I think this may be a close look at Kamala, but need some other eyes. The adult seems to have a damaged right ear but it's hard to see, so still not sure if that's Filou. I think the juvenile being groomed could be Marlyn.
ACP000f6m7 her lower lip protrudes and catches the light, she has a "V" shape to her nostrils, thick pale curved brows, dark eyemask, fluffy head hair, slim legs with a round tummy.
ACP000fw3t Compare to Kamala's features though this clip is dark.
ACP000f6m7 Here is a side view of this juvenile.

Hi @Snorticus, I think you are right, they look like Filou, Marelyn and Kamala.
Has she a scar/little bald spot on her right eyebrow? I think I can even see it in the picture from ACP000fw3t you posted here, but then I can not see it in the video 😕
We can wait for more opinions and maybe to see the video before or after to be more sure about Filou, but looks good to me.
Great @Snorticus, thanks a lot 😉

I think two of the juveniles at this spot are Kamala carrying around tools and nut cracking, and Marlyn pestering her.

Hi Snorticus,
I agree with you about Kamala, I think is her.
What I am not sure it is about Marlyn. Could fit perfectly because they have been seen together several times, but in those videos I can only see 2 more chimps coming but I don't see them well.
When we will find the next videos will be easier to know about the other, but about Kamala I agree.
Many thanks!
Any other opinion? 😉Posted

Below is a list of some of the related videos in this spot that I previously posted under the science objects discussion titled "multispecies" that @AnLand started here
Agree with you that it is a bit confusing as there were several chimps running around:
For context, this is part of a longer sequence of chimps at this spot (not all listed as some not found yet) on 1-27-2015
At 8:33 - ACP000edtg ACP000edth ACP000edti ACP000edtj
At 8:34 - ACP000edwg ACP000edwh ACP000edwi ACP000edwj

Hmm, do you think the right ears look different? I think this chimp has an extra bump at the top that Kamala doesn't.
Kamala:
Posted
-
by PauDG scientist, moderator
Hi all!!!
I find the faces really similar, I have been looking at them carefully and even the line upper the nose, where the skin starts to be darker, seems to have the same shape, but this thing about the right ear is tricky.
On the first second of ACP000eft1 the ear looks perfectly round (there is not still image unfortunately), but then, and because of the angle, we can see this bump/line. So I am wondering if that could happen too in the other videos of Kamala.
But in ACP000f6m7 ACP000f6m8 ACP000f6m9 ACP000f6ma the angle is different and I don't see anything similar, and the other videos are really dark....
What do you think?
Posted
-
by PauDG scientist, moderator
I am going to add ACP000eft1 ACP000eft2 ACP000eft4 for now as AvJuv04b
Posted
-
by ksigler moderator in response to PauDG's comment.
Looking at this again, perhaps that's some sort of debris in the hair or on the ear? It almost looks like a small worm or leech. :-\ Either way, you're right, it's not as noticeable at first, but maybe rather than angle, the difference is that s/he starts hammering. Maybe it descends or shakes loose because of the jarring motion?
Posted
-
by PauDG scientist, moderator
I don't know what it is... but would be wonderful to see it falling in one video 😃 maybe in the one after ACP000eft4 ....
Posted
-
by lauraklynn moderator in response to PauDG's comment.
I'm pretty sure you can see the "bump" move, albeit subtly, in ACP000eft2, It also appears to protrude like a stick or piece of grass when she turns her head. Both imply it is indeed some type of debris.
Posted
-
by ksigler moderator in response to lauraklynn's comment.
Yes, exactly. In ACP000eft2, :11 secs through the end... you can see what looks like a little tan piece of grass or straw sticking out away from the head next to the ear. I think it would be good to compare the other features at this point, to see if the rest of the evidence outweighs any doubts there may still be about the ear.

by PauDG scientist, moderator
wow girls, that it a good view! I have to admit that I am having troubles to see something moving, but I totally believe you. To me fits perfectly with Kamala 😉

by Snorticus in response to lauraklynn's comment.
ACP000eft1 Good eyes, people! Here it looks like the ridge is visible at the usual spot (horizontally and half way down the ear) in the very beginning of this clip between 0 and 1 second. Then as you guys note the white object seems to curve around the rim of the ear and elongate. Better seen in the video.
Looks to me like it lies on top of the rim rather than intersecting it like the horizontal ridge below this area does.

by Boleyn moderator in response to Snorticus's comment.
After pointing this out I tried to see it while Kamala is moving. You can actually see something white sticking out horizontally from the ear which moves together with the head around second one:

From the identifiable chimp list:
Three videos ACP000e94a, ACP000e94b and ACP000e94c of which I'm positive are showing Kamala at the left and Marlyn at the right (in the first video only). @Lauraklynn already noticed their names in the comments of ACP000e94a.
We can shortly see their faces (Kamalas wide face with bushy brows) and from the backside view we see that the left one is a girl and the right one has some bare spots on his back like Marlyn has as well as the little knob/cut near his earlobe.

by AnLand moderator
I did not look for circumstantial proof, but that could be Kamala, indeed. General appearance, body size, and right ear look good to me and that mark in the right brow seems to be there, too. (Time stamp of the video is definitely wrong.)

This juvenile together with Filou in ACP000ef4n looks like Kamala: round belly, a short look at her special muzzle and I think it's a girl.
The one we can only hear up in the tree is probably Marlyn. 😃Posted
-
by AnLand moderator in response to Boleyn's comment.
Not so sure here. The unclassified next video ACP000ef4o shows also a juvenile that could be Kamala or Marlyn. I am having difficullties to say who is the boy and who the girl. My feeling is first Marlyn, then Kamala in the next video. But could be the other way around as well.
Posted
-
by PauDG scientist, moderator
I think the juvenile in ACP000ef4n is a female, and could be Kamala, but I don't think that the other juvenile in ACP000ef4o is Marlyn. I am not sure about the gender, looks a female, but to me the body shape doesn't fit with Kamala or Marlyn. We have seen this juvenile with Filou before, in more videos where also Kamana and Marlyn are present but we never identified her/him...
Posted
-
by Boleyn moderator
Sorry I completely forgot to have a look at the next video. I still think though that the first one is Kamala. Not sure about the juvenile in ACP000ef4o - it might be Marlyn from size and the short side view of the face looks more like Marlyn than Kamala, but if you think it's a girl then of course not 😃
Posted
-
by Snorticus
ACP000ef4n - Agree this is Kamala, brief glimpse at the end of her somewhat flattened muzzle shape. Also agree that the 2nd juvenile that enters in ACP000ef4o - is not Marlyn and looks to be a female.

But what about the white spot on the back seen when the juv enters in ACP000ef4n and again at 11 sec.? You think that is an artifact? I am OK if you are sure. I was just looking at ACP000e94a for instance, were we can see who is the boy and who the girl, but I am not so sure that we could see this difference in the b/w footage. And there is a white spot on the back, I think, at a place Marlyn has it too.

by Snorticus in response to AnLand's comment.
This is a tough one, but based on the "maple leaf" shaped pale rear of Marlyn in B&W, I would say the first chimp is definitely not Marlyn.

To me there is not a bald spot in that back watching the video. In the still picture that you posted, is the scapula that, while walking, makes the fur looks lighter.
Posted
-
by AnLand moderator
OK, no problem. But who is the second small female juvenile then?
Posted
-
by PauDG scientist, moderator
I am not sure, but I have the feeling that we have seen her before. There are more videos where Filou is seen with 3 juveniles (or more)
For example here ACP000fqrv I think that the first juvenile could be Marlyn because it looks a male, and after Filou there are 2 juv females. The first could be Kamala, and the second coudl be the juvenile in ACP000ef4o. The body shape and the way of walk are very similar.
Posted
-
by Boleyn moderator
You're right Paula, the walk is also similar with her thin bowlegs. I think I've also remember to have seen her in a color video. Will look for it later.
Posted
-
by AnLand moderator
But I think when we discuss videos like ACP000fqrv and ACP000ef4o, we should discuss the whole sequence. In both video sequences are more chimps present. That makes it a bit harder, I think.
Posted
-
by Boleyn moderator
There is no context in the rest of both sequences that let me think that the girl belongs to any other chimp than Filou: In ACP000fqrx (not tagged) following ACP000fqrv she is looking back. But there is only a researcher following in about 50 meters distance. The only other chimp in that sequence is a male, but no female chimp. I doubt that there are more chimps behind the researcher, right? Nothing else is recorded on that specific day either.
The same in ACP000ef4n ACP000ef4o (not yet tagged) ACP000ef4p and ACP000ef4q She looks back and is followed close by a researcher. The female carrying a young in p and q is walking in another direction and the girl walks on behind Filou also after seeing her. There's one other chimp in that sequence, a female. She looks quite young, subadult or so? I'm not sure who she could be, maybe Sabirah?
So much for the sequences.
I think these videos also show the girl with the bowlegs:
In ACP000eseq (this is the sequence where Kamala licks the camera with ACP000esem and ACP000eseo) so the girl following the others is certainly not Kamala. She follows Filou which is not yet confirmed/tagged:In ACP000e8p4 there are also three juveniles and Filou not confirmed/tagged as well. The first is a boy, most likely Marlyn, the second one a girl. When she shortly turns we can see her special profile. The thisr juvenile that follows is also a girl with thin bowlegs and a thick belly. No good stills but quite well seen in the video. Now all we need is a face for that girl... 😕
