"Chimpanzees drum on the buttress roots of trees to send information to each other, with each individual having their own signature style.
..researchers say they have not only found chimpanzees drum with non-random timing, but that the rhythms differ between subspecies."
The Guardian · Chimps’ rhythmic drumming could shed light on music’s evolutionary roots

Are #chimps having a fruity #booze-up in the wild?
According to a paper, the observational data is the first evidence of the sharing of #alcoholic foods among nonhuman #greatapes in the wild.
The fruit in question is seasonal and comes from Treculia africana trees common across the home environment of the wild chimps in Cantanhez National Park in Guinea-Bissau.
New data suggests that the human inclination toward feasting in groups is part of our deep evolutionary history

"Chimps remember, for years, the location of ant nests that provide food"
Mongabay Environmental News · Chimps remember, for years, the location of ant nests that provide foodWild chimpanzees have long been known to rely on their powerful memories to know where and in what trees they can find ripe wild fruit. Less has been understood about whether and how the great apes use their memory to locate foods of animal origin, such as army ants, which are known to be rich […]

Former research chimps will move to sanctuary, after NIH reverses course #AnimalRights #chimpanzees #chimps https://www.science.org/content/article/former-research-chimps-will-move-sanctuary-after-nih-reverses-course
About two dozen former research chimps living on a military base in New Mexico will be moved to a sanctuary in Louisiana. Five years ago, gov’t officials said the chimps were too unhealthy and frail to make the move. But now the situation there has changed the risk/benefit calculation:

Mongabay Environmental News · Chatterbox chimps converse just like humans (but with more gestures)For more than 15 years, an international team of researchers intermittently followed five groups of eastern chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in the jungles of Uganda and Tanzania. With cameras in hand, they diligently recorded hundreds of videos of chimpanzee chatter. “This took a lot of hard drives,” says primatologist Gal Badihi from the University of […]
