Weird fact: DRC #Congo #rainforests are not ancient. Just 2000 years ago #chimpanzees and other seed dispersers led to rainforest growth. Now - we MUST protect them from #mining and #palmoil! #Boycottpalmoil 🌴🩸🔥💀❌ #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social

Interesting fact: Seed dispersers like #chimpanzees in the #Congo kicked off rainforest growth only 2000 years ago 🦍🙉🩷 Now they face #extinction from #mining WE SAY NO to #mining in #DRC! #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social palmoildetectives.com/2022/07/03/c...

A top priority of our research mission this year is to revisit the stunning Zémongo ecosystem to the east of Chinko, CAR. Here you can see the highlights of our visit last, where we found it to be wall-to-wall with #chimpanzees! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzmv...

Yup. #Chimpanzees not more aggressive than #bonobos

"aggression patterns diverge by sex: Bonobos exhibit higher female-to-male aggression, while chimpanzees show the reverse."

Wild chimpanzees in Uganda are drinking the equivalent of a beer a day Chimpanzees consume enough fermented fruit to test positive for alcohol, hinting at our evolutionary past.

Chimpanzees in Uganda 'consume the equivalent of roughly one standard alcoholic drink every day. They get their daily dose simply by eating sugar-rich, fermenting fruits high up in the forest canopy.' #chimpanzees #primates #anthropology #alcohol 🧪

Meet Tatu and Loulis—the last of the 'talking' chimpanzees In the 1960s and '70s, a group of chimpanzees astonished the world by learning sign language. Only two remain, and one question still lingers: Was it worth it?

We should give Chimps the technology of 'bags' so they can carry their precious gems in. 👜
