@jillpruetz Whoa! I mean I know they are called greater galago for a reason, but That’s a big bushbaby!!

[Texas State Department of Anthropology @txstanthro]

The work of Jill Pruetz and former Iowa State PhD student, Kelly Boyer Ontl, with chimpanzees in Senegal is featured in the New York Times article Mother Chimpanzees Know the Coolest Place in a Scorching Savanna. It’s a very cool article (pun intended)! https://t.co/PyEjwj7dz2

[Kelly Boyer Ontl @FalemeChimps]

@ahhitt Eek. I’m glad I’m all online this semester (although that was a bit of a battle).

[Kelly Boyer Ontl @FalemeChimps]

@thephdstory I love academia but this article has to do so I just hope it works. 😂🤣 so true...

[Kelly Boyer Ontl @FalemeChimps]

@JamesKGibb Forthcoming paper by Rockstar et al.! Congrats!!

[Priyanka Runwal @priyanka_runwal]

Critically endangered western chimpanzees in Senegal use caves during the hottest times of the year. But some chimps seek out these refugia more than others, despite the lurking risks. @FalemeChimps @jillpruetz.
