So FUNNY! Always cracks me up when they act all sneaky 😆 They all do it! Chimps , Baboons, Macaques big time LOL there used to be this little chonker named Sweetpea who always tried being slick to get the Milkbar . They definitely know what they are doing since they keep hesitating and watching mom and when Mom looks down it's like they look up and away and start whistling 😆

[@Bryan-jd7os]

I know Sweatpea! I wish he was still around, he was absolutely one of a kind!

[@daniellelee1997]

There was literally nothing "cute" about his behavior just as him being severely overweight wasn't "cute" either. It was disgusting and even as an adult, SP attempted to nurse from the females he could overpower while at the sanctuary...and I'm sure his gluttony and obesity played a part in his premature demise which came via a heart-attack. Popeye is at fault for that, however. She was a poor mother and honestly should've been sterilized. If she had been, the monstrosity known as SP wouldn't have ever existed. I'm sure that sounds harsh, but the fact that her failure to properly raise SP resulted in him having a short lifespan just makes me feel like it would've been better had he never even been brought into this world...and not only was he way too old to be nursing, not only was he obese, but he was also a spoiled brat that regularly bullied other juveniles hence why so many of the mothers avoided him and Popeye. They didn't want her chunky goose around their babies and I can't say that I blame them.

She has been such a good mom to all of her babies ♥️. She took care of the twins like a pro which I'm sure had to be difficult carrying two little chimps on her back constantly and even now she gives the twins the attention they need.

[@forgottenquill7063]

Giving attention and letting them feed when they are OBVIOUSLY bit enough NOT to, is totally different. They should both be OFF the nipple -- it's the newborn's turn at the milk bar. Would you breastfeed a newborn and ALSO let you 5-year-old, as well? This is an overworked mother desperate to make everyone happy, NOT a good one.

[@stephenhearn4582]

@@forgottenquill7063 chimps in the wild breast feed up to a year, which.is usually.when mom gives birth again baby chimps learn everything from mom. They learn what foods to eat where the food is and what time of year it is ready. They learn how to.use tools like eating ants and termites and what tool to get them with. They learn how to crack nuts to eat the meat. They also learn what plants to eat when the feel sick. They learn this all from mom sitting there watching. They learn body language and facial expressions what pant hoots are and what they mean. They are not dependant on mom's milk but it is a good source.of protein..

@@forgottenquill7063 you make her sound like a human. I like how you put your human expectations on her like you wrote the book of when they ween their young. You obviously didn't see her kick the child off when she felt her start to suck. Why do you think the child is weary of attempting it??? Probably because she knows she's not supposed to and mom won't allow it if she feels her doing it??? Besides that 4-5 years is normal for weaning age.

In One view, The baby looks weak and malnourished, barely holding on and able to lift itself up to the nipple. It appears, That the older chimp is sucking her dry and the baby isn’t getting its full of milk. Their a good mom but to soft on the other greedy children. They should be weened.

You should be concerned. Because chimp juveniles are much larger than let’s say Maq juveniles the mother does not have enough milk to sustain both and if the juvenile isn’t weaned very soon the baby is in jeopardy of losing weight and becoming Malnourished, if she hasn’t already.

How can you be so sure mom can’t produce enough milk for both? The amount of milk produced isn’t finite. The more babies nurse the more milk is produced. Mom will know when it’s time to wean her older baby so not to worry.

How can I get this animals for pets actually just to appease my hunger..i mean sometimes to cool down my anger on this annoying creatures.I'll feed them well and beat them to hell

[@mchevre]

@@forgottenquill7063 Actually it IS normal to still breastfeed a 3 year old. Chimps in the wild wean around 4 years or so. Humans, throughout our natural history, would wean between 3 and 5 years old, similar to chimps. In the wild a chimp mother perhaps wouldn't be having another baby so soon, but if she did, she'd probably wean the bigger kids sooner because of it. But basically, our modern conception that breastfeeding is exclusively only for infants is a relatively new and alien idea that does not comport with our evolutionary history, or the overall evolutionary history of the great apes. The early weaning practiced by humans today is a cultural advent made possible by advances in technology and nutrition. Certainly, it's a good thing that modern human mothers are not obligated to the role of continuous living milk bar, and I'm not advocating women today should breastfeed longer than whatever works best for them and their baby personally - but to suggest there's something abnormal about the longer breastfeeding is simply ahistorical.

Why does this drive me so crazy? Is it because milk is all the Yotsuma can eat to survive? I keep wondering if the zoo does anything to supplement the baby with food. We've got a three-year old crying like a six month old because shrs incredibly jealous of a baby.

[@nimblebimble]

Kyoto has a handful world renown experts in primatology working w/ them, as they’re right by the university. So, there’s really nothing to worry about as far as her nutrition. I have to say, there is something inherently obnoxious about a juvenile tantruming as they’re weening. Not sure if that’s what you meant, haha… but it does drive me crazy, particularly when a new baby is in the picture. The twins just turned four, and while some chimps do nurse for some time after that benchmark, the girls are definitely past needing mother’s milk for any supplemental benefits. Chimp babies are infamous for their outbursts and brattiness during their this phase. There’s a short YT clip from Goodall, I believe, about it. I think it’s called chimpanzee sibling rivalry.

[@eagse]

@@nimblebimble @Amy D Give the twins another year n sure enough they'll stop having breast milk. Kazumi always tries to distract them but she still can't control cos both twins still breast feed. They love mother's milk cos it's the best.

[@non_serviam]

@@nimblebimble yeah I'm getting heavy Flint (the juvenile chimp you're referring to from the Goodall videos) vibes from the twins. He was around this age when Flame was born (Flo's last baby before she died), and he'd have the same temper tantrums when Flo would try to keep him from nursing.

[@nimblebimble]

@@non_serviam I was thinking about the two twins in the study-glow and glitter, I think-featured in the video on Goodall Foundation’s channel. But, yes, Flint. My God. His story should be used as a case study to teach human parents the dangers of overindulging children. His mom was too old to discipline him, he was coddled, spoiled, and he died because he couldn’t handle independence.
