Savanna chimps in Senegal use the same ant-dipping strategies as forest populations — because ant aggressiveness, not habitat type, is what drives tool use. New research from Dindefelo unpacks why. #Primatology #Chimpanzees https://www.primatology.net/p/what-the-ants-tell-us-about-chimpanzee
What the Ants Tell Us About Chimpanzee Culture

The strategies savanna chimpanzees use to harvest army ants look almost identical to what forest populations do — and that’s the surprising part

Bumblebees can solve complex puzzles like chimpanzees and elephants, study finds
Researchers say a new study proves that insects can solve problems spontaneously, a cognitive ability usually associated with large-brained vertebrates.

Chimpanzees and bonobos have human-like friend circles, study finds

Great apes appear to build friendships much like humans do. By studying grooming behavior, researchers discovered that chimpanzees and bonobos form close inner circles along with wider networks of weaker social connections. Chimpanzees focus on a few trusted partners and become more selective with age, while bonobos maintain a more egalitarian social style.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Researchers traveled to remote #Boé National Park in #GuineaBissau to study accumulative stone throwing, a rare behavior where male western #chimpanzees repeatedly hurl #rocks at specific #trees while calling out and drumming. 🌳

The team used camera traps to gather #data on what these chimpanzees might be communicating, and whether the behavior is a form of #animal #culture. Some sites have been used for over a decade. 🐒

Why do male chimpanzees throw rocks at the same trees for more than a decade? We travelled to remote Guinea-Bissau to find out

To study accumulative stone throwing among wild chimpanzees, researchers hike deep into the savanna-woodland of Boé — a habitat increasingly threatened by industrial mining.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: A Japanese biologist noticed in 1997 that #humans are the only #primates with clearly visible white sclera. 👁️

Researchers have since shown this trait helps us follow each other’s gaze – a key building block for collaboration, #language development, and social bonding. 🤝

Humans have weirdly white eyes. Here’s why.

No other animals have eyes like ours.

New research shows chimpanzees learn survival skills via social culture—observing, copying, and passing knowledge across generations. Culture may not be as uniquely human as once believed.

🐋🪞 In a new study, two #beluga #whales at a #NewYork #aquarium showed possible self-recognition in a mirror – one even pressing a mark behind her ear against the reflective surface.

The results place belugas alongside #chimpanzees, #dolphins, #elephants, and maybe #magpies on a short list of species that pass. But scientists disagree on what the test actually proves, and the debate itself raises deeper questions about animal #consciousness.

Whatever the mirror test tells us, beluga whales pass it

The white whales join the short, contested list of animals that see themselves.
