Female Chimpanzee Attacked By Dominant Male | Nature Bites

A new female chimp is introduced to monkey island at Chester Zoo - but rather than taking the crown of new dominant female, she's mercilessly attacked by the male chimpanzees and quickly learns her place...
From The Secret Life of the Zoo: This series gives viewers behind the scenes access to Chester Zoo's 21,000 animals and the people who work there. The zoo's keepers are interviewed in each episode about the various animals and incidents, whether it's orangutans escaping their enclosure or tigers getting into scraps.

Gorillas are usually pretty chill but you have one big King Kong looking mofo who is a lunatic. In general I don’t care to be around any of them and I am happy I live in North America.

[@EdsterIII]

People sometimes see chimpanzees as just goofy monkeys. 🤪 mainly due to how we have seen them via TV 📺 and other media. But the reality is they are extremely intelligent, they can be devious, loving, supportive, nurturing, and very aggressive. I've watched, studied, and enjoyed these animals for years and their family groups continue to show me so much more of their intelligence. This zoo keeper is amazingly knowledgeable about his group. The saying that a feared member can be the leader but not as long as say a popular chimpanzee was another thing I've learned. The alpha male is always seemed to be the most powerful for good reason. To protect his family. The females however have a more complex and intricate hierarchy. Oddly like us in a way. Women by nature are far more nurturing and loving but also can determine how things are done. Interesting video that explains and teaches us how these primates live. Well done! Looking at Alice she was a bigger stronger looking chimp. I can see why she was "feared". She looked like she could become very nasty. Amazing how a "popular" girl wins the crowd and makes the males do her bidding, like high school....lol.

[@normacotter3377]

would you please tell me why some of the older chimps have the big butts ? Looks like they have it grown from the inside out! Do you understand what I am asking?

[@ZippedUpKitz]

@@normacotter3377 hi there… this condition you are asking about, it’s called anogenital swelling…. When a female chimp (as well as some other primates, including pig tail macaque monkeys,) comes into estrus, her genitalia and surrounding anal area will swell… the bigger the swelling, the further along she is in her estrus cycle and therefore ready for mating… if you watch Vila closely, you will see her "swinging" or "circling" her back side there in the faces of the males; especially Dominant male, Dylan… she is basically saying, "hey there big boy… you want some of this? Come on over and get ya some!" lol….

In this group, individuals of different subspecies of chimpanzees are mixed. Each chimpanzee subspecies has its own characteristics in the model of social behavior. Representatives of different subspecies, being in the same group, often do not understand each other and have a negative attitude towards each other, which leads to frequent conflicts and a tense situation. Without knowing this, researchers sometimes draw many wrong and false conclusions about the behavior of chimpanzees in a group.

I even know a Japanese group, where an elder brother is a real mean brat, beats everyone with branches or so, and indeed tortures his baby brother. And he loves to steal him, though mother AND grown up sister care real tender, forces him to hang at his stomach, like the baby does with mother (he cannot run away. It seems to be a reflex to clinch) and then he climbs with that baby who nearly dies I'm fear on the high trust top and enjoy the power,;even runs away with the baby if finally the sister tries to rescue the little one. Anyway; the baby tries desperately to get loose, and when this starts, the brat puts the baby $s hand into his mouth. It seems to be a sign of master and unworthy nothing in two directions. When that elder brother has the bsby $s Hand in mouth, the baby ends with the struggles to get free.
