Always very happy to talk about the @BulindiChimps. Thanks for inviting me!

[BERG, Stirling Uni @BERG_Stirling]

Great talk today by @KimvanDijk04 about fruit sharing in @BulindiChimps, with some nice discussions afterwards. Thanks a lot, Kim!

[Kim van Dijk @KimvanDijk04]

@pornoqueer Sure thing!

And this was actually my very first paper with my own illustrations. Araali using a plastic bottle to masturbate; enjoy!

[Bulindi Chimpanzees @BulindiChimps]

So, here's a paper I never thought we'd write: "Use of a novel human object as a masturbatory tool by a wild male chimpanzee at Bulindi, Uganda"

Super proud that my first first-authored paper is out on the effect of deforestation and community decline on nesting behaviour in Chimpanzees @BulindiChimps

[Bulindi Chimpanzees @BulindiChimps]

How do chimpanzees cope with deforestation? New OA article explores how @BulindiChimps adapted their nesting behavior to forest loss: https://t.co/WW1o3KLCZg

@ashton_asbury In four days time three years ago I saw my first wild chimp with you❤️

[Kim van Dijk @KimvanDijk04]

I'm so excited for the conference Ashton! To all my primatology watchers (and everyone else!), this is going to be really interesting!

[Ashton Asbury (she/her) @ashton_asbury]

Save the date! I’m organizing a primatology conference that will be free and open to everyone. More information will be coming soon😏 #primatology

Sometimes chimpanzees from the neighbouring community steal the camera-trap spotlight. Here, a female carries her mummified infant in a nursery party right along the Issa community border. The Thanatobase grows, @alecia_carter !!

Saints Talk: 'The Language of Life' by Dr Cat Hobaiter

Premiering on YouTube: https://t.co/RvdHsqlWCg

Dr Cat Hobaiter (@NakedPrimate) will use studies of ape communication and mind to trace different ways we've tried to ask questions about the human language.

Just sending tiny #chimp #hugs to the whole internet today.

This is a video clip from my fieldwork in Uganda. The two little ones are happy, wild, playful #chimpfants greeting each other with a hug.

No monkey should wear a dress #primatesarenotpets

[Ashton Asbury (she/her) @ashton_asbury]

In 2020 I expect @Netflix and producers to DO better and BE better. There is no reason a real monkey needs to be in a film for human entertainment, let alone in costume. #RatchedNetflix #primatesarenotpets

[Dora Mai @doramai4]

I love sketching chimpanzees but I’ve never done one in pen. I like.

[Bulindi Chimpanzees @BulindiChimps]

Chimp stick tool culture is alive & well in western Uganda after all! New studies from @BulindiChimps & other 'forest fragment' chimpanzees reveal a complex cultural landscape among Ugandan chimpanzees. OA special issue here: https://t.co/OT7Tz4RjQf
