Spring is here and the Cincinnati Zoo is full of new life, from frolicking bear cubs, to clingy primates, and oh, the not-so-huge manatee!

Day 3: Remaining on the topic of chimpanzees, it seems that among their many similarities to humans is also their ability to engage in organized warfare. I find the topic quite sad, so won't expand on it here, but if you'd like to know more, I'll leave the Wiki links to two prominent chimpanzee wars.

Day 2: It's likely that you've heard about Jane Goodall by now. She was a pioneer in studying the behavior of primates and demonstrated that chimpanzees share many traits with humans (like using tools or passing down knowledge from generation to generation). But did you know that she was also the first to assign names to chimps instead of numbering them? The latter was standard practice as it avoided anthropomorphizing the animals, so her decision to name them was highly controversial at the time. In the end, it worked out. To date, she remains the only human ever accepted into the chimp society.

For two decades, researchers observed the group of Ngogo chimpanzees spend their days eating fruits and leaves, resting, traveling and grooming. But this stable community then fractured and descended into years of deadly violence. The researchers are now describing the first clearly documented example ‌of a group of wild chimpanzees splitting into two separate factions, with one launching a series of coordinated attacks against the other.
