Prior work indicates that chimpanzees are quite patient compared to other animals, and this study shows that their ability to delay gratification is already mature at a fairly young age, unlike in humans. – Alexandra Rosati	Found on CNN 1 year ago
What's fascinating about the bonobo, because we're equally related to both bonobos and chimpanzees, is that there's a clear demonstration that dominance has nothing to do with sex. It's all about the environment that an animal finds itself in, there's no norm. – Lucy Cooke	Found on CNN 1 year ago
We do not know whether the observed behavior involves empathy, we know that it may qualify as prosocial behaviour, meaning it may increase the welfare of another animal -- feeling better via the social attention and caring, or via substances in the saliva-insect mix that may be soothing or anti-inflammatory. There are examples of chimpanzees adopting and rescuing other chimpanzees, which may involve empathy. – Simone Pika	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Chimpanzees eat insects but we did not know that they catch and use them to treat their wounds, hence, they not only have an understanding of their food species( plants, insects, monkeys, birds, reptiles) but probably also about characteristics of other animal species that help to act against injuries. – Simone Pika	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Self-medication — where individuals use plant parts or non-nutritional substances to combat pathogens or parasites — has been observed across multiple animal species including insects, reptiles, birds and mammals, current Biology.Bears two closest living relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, for instance, swallow leaves of plants with anthelmintic( antiparasitic) properties and chew bitter leaves that have chemical properties to kill intestinal parasites. – Simone Pika	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It is just fascinating to see that after decades of research on wild chimpanzees they still surprise us with unexpected new behaviours, our study shows that there is still a lot to explore and discover about our closest living relatives, and we therefore need to still put much more effort into protecting them in their natural habitat. – Tobias Deschner	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Treating leprosy in humans is relatively straightforward, especially if it's diagnosed early enough, but for animals that aren't habituated to humans, such as these particular populations, it's very difficult to administer antibiotics. There are constraints to treating animals for leprosy and we have to consider the ethical implications of darting chimpanzees, so that makes the question of treatment a complicated one. – Kimberley Hockings	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It could be that sharing of food resources by chimpanzees, gorillas and forest elephants in Loango National Park in Gabon result in increased competition and sometimes even in lethal interactions between the two great ape species. – Tobias Deschner	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Interactions between chimpanzees and gorillas have so far been considered as relatively relaxed. – Simone Pika	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Our observations provide the first evidence that the presence of chimpanzees can have a lethal impact on gorillas. We now want to investigate the factors triggering these surprisingly aggressive interactions. – Tobias Deschner	Found on CNN 2 years ago
A key part of the tool is that it's based on replicating the mechanical challenges that chimpanzees experience in the wild in their daily lives, so when they're moving around forest canopy they have to deal with branches flexing under their weight, they have to deal with planning routes in advance so they know where to go to get to the next food source and we're trying to emulate these mechanical challenges into the lives of captive chimpanzees. – Susannah Thorpe	Found on Reuters 7 years ago
NYBC does not own the animals in question, and never did, the animals are owned by the Liberian government, and their officials have repeatedly acknowledged that they have responsibility for the care of the chimpanzees. – New York Blood Center	Found on CNN 8 years ago
NYBC's support of the chimpanzees was entirely voluntary, offered on a philanthropic basis to permit discussions regarding Liberia's need to fulfill their responsibilities until the Government of Liberia could take over, the Government of Liberia and animal rights organizations knew all along that our support was voluntary and could not continue. – New York Blood Center	Found on CNN 8 years ago
When the chimpanzees are not on study, this is a sanctuary for them. – Chris Abee	Found on CNN 9 years ago
A lot of these chimpanzees are elderly, and so they don't have a lot of time. – Cathy Spraetz	Found on CNN 9 years ago
Nevertheless, recognizing the adaptive value of male-female aggression in chimpanzees may inevitably help us to understand, and hopefully prevent, similar behavior among humans. – Ian Gilby	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
We've no use for intellectuals in this outfit. What we need is chimpanzees. Let me give you a word of advice: never say a word to us about being intelligent. We will think for you, my friend. Don't forget it. – Louis-Ferdinand Céline	added by anonymous 9 years ago
