Chimpanzee Baby Born at the Zoo: Part One | Nature Bites

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

A new chimpanzee is born at the zoo - but will the newborn cause trouble amongst the dominant female chimps? Keepers are concerned...
The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also known simply as chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forest and savannah of tropical Africa. It has four confirmed subspecies and a fifth proposed subspecies. The chimpanzee and the closely related bonobo are classified in the genus Pan. Evidence from fossils and DNA sequencing shows that Pan is a sister taxon to the human lineage and is humans' closest living relative. The chimpanzee is covered in coarse black hair, but has a bare face, fingers, toes, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. It is larger and more robust than the bonobo, weighing 40-70 kg (88-154 lb) for males and 27-50 kg (60-110 lb) for females and standing 120 to 150 cm (3 ft 11 in to 4 ft 11 in).
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.

    I think that THEY probably know a LOT more than YOU do, about what that troop needs, and can handle. Considering that THEY work with them every single day, and YOU have seen a few hours, at the MOST, of a highly edited TV show. They know each of those chimps individually. And maybe they tried to have more babies, and only Zizi's pregnancy lasted to full term. Maybe there were other pregnant chimps in the troop, but they aren't showing yet. All the viewers know is what we are shown. I'm sure that there have been more babies, born to this troop, since this program was first aired.

    The chimps are part of an international captive breeding program and that is the organisation which decides which individuals should be allowed to breed and which ones contracepted, to maintain genetic diversity and minimise inbreeding. Chester's chimps are a mixture of the Western subspecies, Pan trogolodytes verus, and individuals of mixed subspecies origin. As a general rule of thumb the breeding program recommends the breeding of verus individuals and discourages the deliberate breeding of subspecies crosses. ZeeZee is, I assume, verus and I would guess the non verus females, (and males),would be on contracepti on.

    Apparently things worked out pretty well for this mom and baby. Separating a chimp from its troop is only a last-resort measure for zoos, as it causes the whole troop extreme anxiety and stress for one or more of its members to suddenly disappear. They don't understand why and their wild instincts likely tell them the worst has happened and a predator or rival group has killed the missing chimp; as intelligent as they are they likely don't fully understand that they are safe from such things in their environment. So their tendency is to go on high alert because they think they're now all vulnerable. I've seen a video of chimps at another zoo having a mass meltdown after one of their elderly female members fell very ill and had to be taken away and then died; it's heartbreaking.

    @@DustyHoney Yes. One of the things that has enabled zoos to improve their care of social animals is the use of contraceptives. They now give sexually mature female chimps, bonobos, and gorillas basically the same kinds of hormonal contraceptive implants or injections that humans use, if they don't want them to get pregnant. That way they can continue to live in a natural social group rather than being isolated or separated from males. It also keeps animals that are too young or too closely-related from breeding. It's very common for captive lionesses to be given contraceptives now, for the same reason, as living in a pride with a male because is more natural for them, but zoos can't afford to have them all breeding all the time.

    We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events. In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system. It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will. Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high. Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry? Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts .

    Zoos with chimps have various protocols to ensure their groups don't get too large or have too much conflict; sometimes they might break up a large group into two or three smaller ones with separate habitats. And they try to ensure fertile animals don't breed with siblings, parents, or offspring, by putting related animals on contraceptives or separating them. The same is done with gorillas.

    The other commenter explained a number of ways an individual zoo might do it, but they also may distribute animals to other zoos if their own population grows too much. As it'd be unethical to pay for wild animals to be captured (and usually lethal to the parents of infant wild animals), they bring in animals from other zoos instead, so if a group grows too large they may move some of the males off that way in the same way they would in the wild
