    Actually 3 individuals, but the 3rd is hard to ID. I think both adult and juvenile are new to us. The adult appears female, judging from juvenile clinging to her in previous clip.

    First the adult. The rounded face appears large for the head, with a prominent mouth and distinct white beard. Large nostrils, rounded brows and bony cheeks.

    And the juvenile with nearly straight brows, slightly rounded at the edges:

    We also get a rough look at the 3rd individual's face here.

    This is also the "new" female here. Classified 2 months earlier but never discussed: ACP000dpfm Videos are 12 minutes apart, so no matching here 😃
    She has a very distinctive look and we get to see the juvenile better.

    Thanks ladies,

    GSFem16 & GSInf16, GSJuv06 (a female late juvenile-adolescent)

    😃

    ACP000dsfx (found by @charly03) might be GSFem16 and family again. I see the same straight brows, the white beard, some balding, big nostrils and rather dark hair. The two juveniles (an infant with a light face) and an older juvenile behind the log fit the family composition.

    The light is not very good, but the video shows the traits quite well.

    Here both juveniles

    It seems that the following videos belong to that new sequence:

    ACP000ds8d / ACP000ds8e / ACP000drly / ACP000ds8j / ACP000ds8k / ACP000dsfw

    Great, @AnLand, I think you found the family again! Their features are really unique and mother and daugther do look very much alike.

  • NuriaM by NuriaM scientist, moderator

    Absolutely!

    we have a threefold match here:

    ACP000ds8d / ACP000ds8e / ACP000drly / ACP000ds8j / ACP000ds8k / ACP000ds8m / ACP000dsfw / ACP000dsfx / ACP000dsfy

    =

    GSFem16 & GSInf16 and GSJuv06

    Laura found the group and ** Anja its match, what do you think, do you want to name GSFem16 and GSJuv06? 😃

    Thanks for finding them again @AnLand.

    I nominate Akilah for the adult

    ACP000czpm and ACP000czpn might be Akilah and her family.

  • NuriaM by NuriaM scientist, moderator in response to AnLand's comment.

    Thanks Anja, agreed 😃

    I proposed you as a namer for the juvenile (see above), what do you think?

    Oh, I missed this! I already named so many chimps, maybe somebody else would like?

  • NuriaM by NuriaM scientist, moderator in response to AnLand's comment.

    Thanks Anja 😃

    What about @clare50 ? S/he has been doing a great job at classifying lately. What do you think @clare50 , would you like to give us a name for this juvenile GSJuv06, Akilah´s juvenile?

    I would love to name a chimp. How about Aurora for the female juvenile. Thanks for the opportunity.

    I like it! 😃

    ACP000dx8r - This should be Akilah with her big infant, followed by Aurora. Only she has such a big and protruded swelling and big infant. (Cleo does not.) Aurora is also clearly bigger in size than Jamie and has a bigger swelling. Kiana's infant is not nearly that big.

  • NuriaM by NuriaM scientist, moderator in response to AnLand's comment.

    yes, I agree, this should be Akilah´s family,

    more thoughts?

    ACP000dp2v - based on the swelling, this should be Akilah and her big infant

    Posted

  • NuriaM by NuriaM scientist, moderator in response to AnLand's comment.

    the infant really looks like GSInf16 (Akilah´s infant), but I can´t find a video of Akilah with a nice swelling view that I cant check against with. Where did you see it? 😕

    based on infants faces, I agree on this match...

    In ACP000dpn9, you can see it best.

    oh thanks, now I see it

    Here they are again. AnLand, thank you for your hints. 😃

    Well done HeikeW!! thanks Anja for helping 😃

    Video ACP000dxei shows a big juvenile with the typical Aurora look (suggested by Anja and supported by me). Together with her family she's been seen here also in ACP000dx1n at the same time, one and a half month earlier. Unfortunately there are no more recordings afterwards.

    Here in ACP000dxei (end of page 3) we have two votes for Aurora and would need confirmation from a SciMod. Thanks!
