Numbers With Dung Counts and a Geographic Information
System. Journal of Wildlife Management 61, no.
4: 1384-93.
Abstract: Dung counts are the most practical means of
estimating numbers and distribution of forest-dwelling
elephants. In the forests of Gabon, which have a sparse
human population, the density of elephant dung piles increased
with distance from roads. Human influences (roads and
density of human habitation) accounted for half the variation
in dung-pile density. Ninety-five percent of the dung
piles were estimated to occur in the low human density
stratum that covers two-thirds of Gabon. We present a
new method of estimating the dung-pile population using
the gradient of dung density in relation to roads. Estimates
of the gradient were combined with estimates from a geographic
information system (GIS) of the area of forest in bands
at different distances (e.g., 0-5, 5-10 km) from roads.
This process gave an estimate of the dung-pile population
for the whole forest zone; the standard error and confidence
limits were found by bootstrapping. We argue that estimates
of forest elephant abundance in central Africa will be
both more accurate and more precise if one accounts for
the gradient. Simulation showed that the optimum sample
for Gabon is 40 transects, each 5 km in length.

and Honey Extraction by Wild Chimpanzees in the Lossi
Forest, Congo. Primates 40, no. 4: 619-27.
Abstract: The use of perforating sticks and flexible stalks
in combination for termite fishing and a complex tool-set
of three components used sequentially (stout chisel, bodkin,
and dip-stick) to penetrate melipone and ground-dwelling
bee hives by Pan troglocytes troglodytes are documented
or inferred from circumstantial evidence. Functionally,
termite extraction tools were similar to other locations
in west and central Africa. but the plants and the number
of raw material species used were different. Tools varied
in the degree of modification (fraying ends). Chimpanzees
in the Lossi forest seem to be able to use the tools not
in a stereotyped fashion, but in a flexible, insightful
way. The extraction of Melipone honey using large pieces
of wood as pounding tools has rarely been recorded elsewhere.
The most impressive technological solution to the honey-getting
problem by wild chimpanzees was shown by this study. This
is the only known use of a tool-set of three components
in sequence to extract honey by wild chimpanzees.

Abstract: Vocal communication in bonobos, Pan paniscus,
has been studied mainly in captive groups. The few studies
carried out in the wild are on only specific aspects of
their behaviour. The aim of this study is to give a preliminary
description of the vocal repertoire and a qualitative
account of the contextual use of the vocalizations described.
Observations were carried out on th ree wild communities,
with a total of 68 individuals, for 685 h. No artificial
feeding was used at any stage of the study. The vocal
repertoire is composed of 15 vocal units and 19 sequences,
There is great variability both in the sequences and in
the vocal units, and the categories are not always completely
discrete. The repertoire is compared to that of captive
bonobos described by De Waal, Most sequences are used
in various contexts, and for each behaviour there is a
complete array of sequences and their variation. The behaviour
patterns observed and the sequences uttered by the animals
in each context are discussed, Copyright (C) 1999 S. Karger

Primates and Other Mammals From the Bushmeat Trade in
Africa, and How This Threat Could Be Diminished. Oryx
33, no. 3: 233-46.
Abstract: The threat that the bushmeat trade presents
to primates and other taxa was assessed from the literature,
including data from markets, village hunting studies and
logging concessions in Central and West Africa. In many
cases the numbers of both common and protected species
of primate being killed throughout the region are thought
to be unsustainable. This is also the case for other taxa
involved in the bushmeat trade, which crosses geographic,
cultural and economic boundaries. A suite of measures
must be considered to mitigate the effects of this trade,
and these measures will have to recognize the local, regional
and national socio-economic importance of the trade if
they are to result in long-term conservation success.

by Multivariate Analysis of the Eggs. Acta Tropica

Abstract: A study of metacercariae and adult Paragonimidae
revealed the existence in West-Africa of four species,
of which two are largely recorded in literature (Paragonimus
africanus and Paragonimus uterobilateralis), one was suspected
(Paragonimus, westermani-like) and one remained unrecorded
in Africa (Euparagonimus sp). Among the two last ones,
P. westermani-like was probably confused with P. africanus,
and Euparagonimus sp. with P. uterobilateralis. P. westermani-like
adult worms differed from P. africanus by the morphology
of ovary, testes and the size of the metraterm eggs. Euparagonimus
could be identified by a short excretory bladder in metacercariae.
The discriminant functions established on eggs measurements
(average, maximum and minimum length, average, maximum
and minimum width) were able to separate the isolates
into four groups. The largest eggs (97 x 59 mu m) belonged
to P. westermani-like, the medium sized eggs were ascribed
to P. africanus (91 x 49 mu m) and to Euparagonimus sp.
(84 x 50 mu m), and the smaller eggs (69 x 42 mu m) were
identified as P. uterobilateralis. Three Paragonimidae
were identified in Cameroon: P. westermani-like, P. africanus
and Euparagonimus sp. Additionally, P. uterobilateralis,
P. westermani-like, and Euparagonimus sp. were found in
the Congo, Gabon, and the Ivory Coast, respectively. (C)

Abstract: Filmed during the AMNH William D. Campbell African
Expedition, 1938. The objective of the AMNH William D.
Campbell African Expedition was to collect specimens for
the okapi and Nile groups in the AMNH Akeley Hall of African
Mammals. The expedition party traveled through Kenya,
Uganda, Zaire, and the Sudan, under the leadership of
William Durant Campbell, field associate of the AMNH Department
of Mammalogy. The staff included Major W. V. D. Dickenson,
a white hunter for MGM's movie Trader Horn who also did
stunt work for that 1929 film, and Gardell D. Christensen,
AMNH naturalist and taxidermist. Christensen was replaced
by Robert W. Kane, AMNH artist, for the Nile leg of the
expedition. The expedition begins at Campbell's ranch
in Nyeri, Kenya, where supplies are loaded on the expedition
vehicles. The film follows the route of the expedition
over the Tana River Bridge, Kenya; over the Nzoia Bridge
on the Uganda border; past the Ripon Falls in Uganda (now
submerged by Owen Falls Dam); over the Jinja Bridge in
Uganda, which spans the Nile; and past the Kivu Volcano
(Zaire), seen in the distance. En route the staff pays
homage to Carl Ethan Akeley at his grave site. Akeley
was an AMNH taxidermist, inventor, explorer, and naturalist
who died in the Belgian Congo (now Zaire) in 1926. This
leg of the expedition was especially comfortable: the
campsites were elegant and well-appointed, and were supplemented
by occasional sojourns to such places as the Ibis Hotel
and Mr. Putnam's Rest House, where clothing was not only
washed, but ironed. The expedition reaches the Ituri Forest,
Belgian Congo (now Zaire), home of the okapi, a large,
shy mammal related to the giraffe. Magnificent pea trees
festooned with lianas are featured. Bambuti help the hired
expedition natives to clear the campsite in the forest.
In a Bambuti camp, natives adorned with bits of leaves
and loin-cloths of bark, some with body paint, dance around
a man lying on his back with his eyes closed. The next
sequence is of an okapi pen. A photographic study of a
dead okapi follows; its skeleton is cleaned and its skin
prepared. The second part of this expedition film covers
collecting for the Nile group, and at Juba the Sudan trip
personnel is introduced. As the expedition moves along,
their trucks continually get stuck in riverbeds; the Dinkas
are ever helpful in pulling them out. More than twenty
of them remove a hippopotamus bagged by Campbell from
the water and are rewarded with its meat after the necessary
parts are taken by the expedition staff. The last section
of this film is original kodachrome and black-and-white.
Some footage is repeated in color: a close-up study of
a hippopotamus, and the fording of rivers. Dinka women
are seen. In both color and black-and-white, fishing techniques
are shown; the Dinka stir up the river bottom, and fish
are then caught in baskets and nets. Two kites are studied
as they descend to catch their meal. Photographic studies
are made of the following dead animals: a crocodile, an
African saddlebill stork, a Nile lechwe, a sitatunga,
and a roan antelope.

Abstract: Although many studies take into account the
variable mchlt weight mchgt of wild primates, it appears
from the literature that few body weight data have been
collected for Cercopithecidae. This study provides body
weight data for 871 Cercopithecidae weighted on game markets
in the Kisangani (Zaire) and N'Gotto (Central African
Republic) regions in the Zaire/Congo Basin. For the best
represented species, the results allow to identify a "standard"
mean weight for a given population and, among well represented
polytypic species, a first comparison at subspecies level

Abstract: The ixodid fauna of rodent burrows in the Bandia
area was studied. From May 1987 to April 1988, 1794 ticks
were collected, mostly immature and mature A. sonrai (98,2%).
This tick species is present all year round, without significant
seasonal variations. The development cycle of 110 days
was determined in the laboratory. Three CCHF virus isolates
were obtained from this tick species. However, CCHF transmission
experiments strongly suggest that A. sonrai is not a vector
of CCHF virus.
The higher the number of ticks located on one host, the
smaller will be the size of the adults collected. The
number of eggs laid will be reduced, with a consequential
affect on the spreading of the virus. On a rabbit, 5 larvae
were placed at one site and 15 at another: the average
length of the adults collected was respectively, 3.03
mm and 2.97 mm. On another rabbit the length of the adults
obtained from 5 larvae at one site was 2.80 mm, and 2.47
mm for 200 larvae from the other.

Abstract: Filmed during the AMNH Central African Expedition,
1948. Starting at Cape Town and going round the southern
tip of Africa up to Mombasa, Kenya, the AMNH Central African
Expedition, led by AMNH director of preparation and installation
James Lippitt Clark, then traveled through Nairobi, the
Mountains of the Moon in the Ruwenzori Range in Uganda
and Zaire, Ripon Falls (Uganda), Bagasson (Congo) and
Stanleyville (now Kisangani in Zaire), all north of Lake
Victoria, then to Uganda, the Belgian Congo (now Zaire)
and Congo. The film opens with a map showing the route.
Expedition activities follow, including fording rivers,
setting up camp, cooking, baking bread, and ironing, all
photographed at Campsite #4 in Narok, Kenya. The Masai
people are shown tending their cattle, which includes
milking and bleeding. The Masai dung-covered dwellings
are seen, as are the moran, or warrior strata of the Masai,
with their shields and swords. Pygmies cook, smoke, sing,
and dance. The expedition filmed many different species
of animals: mammals, including giraffes (courtship behavior),
lions, zebras, buffaloes, elephants, leopards, cattle,
rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, warthogs, jackals, waterbucks,
impalas, kobs, topis, bushbucks, Thomson's gazelles, Grant's
gazelles and wildebeests; birds, including egrets, crowned
cranes (courtship behavior), storks, vultures, hammerkops,
hawks, bustards and pelicans; insects, including ants
and various ant nests, termites, termite queens and termite
nests, butterflies, and grasshoppers; reptiles, including
a python, and a turtle; and invertebrates in the form
of millipedes and a snail.

Abstract: Ten (100%) lesser savanna cane rats, Thryonomys
gregorianus, collected from the Lake Kivv area of the
Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa were found to be
infected with an undescribed anoplocephalid tapeworm,
Thysanotaenia congolensis n. sp. Like other species of
Thysanotaenia, T. congolensis n. sp. has the ovary and
vitellarium centrally located, and the egg capsules and
testes are intervascular. The new species differs from
the 2 existing species, Thysanotaenia lemuris in lemurs
and Thysanotaenia cubensis in humans, in being smaller
(34-50 mm long) and in having a smaller scolex (260-410
mu m in diameter), a shorter cirrus sac (115 mu m long),
and smaller eggs (40 mu m in diameter). Anastomoses of
the excretory system and formation of egg capsules in
the new species are also described.

at Wamba. International Journal of Primatology
18, no. 6: 855-75.
Abstract: I studied dominance relations in a wild group
of bonobos at Wamba, Democratic Republic of Congo. Although
agonistic interactions between males occurred frequently,
most of them consisted only of display, and physical attacks
were infrequent. Dominance rank order seemed to exist
among males, but its linearity is unclear. Dominant males
rarely disturbed copulatory behavior by subordinate males.
However, high-ranking males usually stayed in the central
position of the mixed party and, so, would have more chance
of access to estrous females. Among females, older individuals
tended to be dominant over younger individuals. However,
agonistic interactions between females occurred rather
infrequently, and most consisted of displacement without
any overt aggressive behavior. Dominance between males
and females is unclear, but females tended to have priority
of access to food. The close social status between males
and females may be related to the prolonged estrus of
females and their close aggregation during ranging. Existence
of a male's mother in the group and her dominance status
among females seemed to influence his dominance rank among
males. Young adult males whose mothers were alive in the
group tended to have high status. In some cases, change
in dominance between high-ranking males was preceded by
a corresponding change in dominance between their mothers.
As the dominance status of females is similar to that
of males, mothers may be able to support their sons to
achieve high status, stay in the center of the mixed party,
and so have greater access to females, which may maximize
the number of descendants of the mothers.

Dynamics of Wild Bonobos (Pan Paniscus) at Wamba. International

Abstract: We analyzed population dynamics and birth seasonality
of wild bonobos at Wamba, Democratic Republic of the Congo,
based on 20 years of observations (1976-1996). Wamba Bonobo
infant mortality is much lower than that reported for
chimpanzees. This seemes to be related to several socioecological
characteristics of bonobos: the use of abundant fruit
and herbaceous foods, larger food patch site, female feeding
priority and the absence of infanticide. The mean interval
between live births of 4.8 years is shorter than those
reported for chimpanzees, and some females simultaneously
carried and nursed two successive offspring Mother-offspring
conflicts, such as refusal of suckling attempts and interference
with mothers' copulation which are common in chimpanzees,
are rare in Wamba bonobos. A birth peak seems to occur
during the light rainy season fr om March to May, just
after the season with the least rainfall. This timing
of births is similar to those reported for chimpanzee
populations, and might benefit both mother and offspring
by maximizing the amount of time before the next dry season.

Abstract: Trypanosoma congolense and T. simiae have been
the two recognized species within the subgenus Nannomonas.
T. congolense is pathogenic to cattle and the small ruminants
but not to pigs, while T. simiae causes disease only in
pigs. The two species are difficult to distinguish from
each other because both share the same developmental cycle
in the tsetse and are broadly similar morphologically.
However, their isoenzyme and DNA characteristics are quite
different. Even more confusing is the fact that T. congolense
itself is composed of a number of "strains", or types;
historically the different types of T. congolense were
often considered as separate species by different workers.
Now isoenzyme and DNA characterization show that T. congolense
is composed of at least three different types, which are
probably equivalent to subspecies. Furthermore, evidence
for another species within the subgenus Nannomonas has
come recently from isolates from tsetse midguts in The
Gambia. Specific DNA probes have now been produced for
the different kinds of Nannomonas. With these, it is now
possible to identify the different infection from midgut
dissections of wild tsetse. This should now facilitate
an elaborate study to determine the distribution and prevalence
of the different types across Africa, their association
with the different species of tsetse, and the significance
of each in the causation of disease in domestic livestock.
The information gained will also help clarify the taxonomic
status of each type within the subgenus

Genetic Diversity in Populations of Eastern African Chimpanzees
(Pan Troglodytes Schweinfurthi). International Journal
of Primatology 19, no. 2: 237-54.
Abstract: I collected mitochondrial DNA sequences-hypervariable
region 1 of the control region-from 281 eastern chimpanzees
in 19 geographically defined populations and calculated
genetic diversity measures to test the hypothesis that
populations inhabiting the reconstructed locations of
Pleistocene forest refugia harbor higher genetic diversities
than those of other populations. The hypothesis is only
weakly supported. Population genetic diversity is not
significantly correlated with geographic proximity to
refugia, with the area of forest that the populations
currently occupy, or with the degree of geographic isolation
of the populations. However, the two populations displaying
the consistently highest genetic diversities are located
in refuge areas: Uganda's Rwenzori Mountains and the eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo's Ituri Forest. These results,
in combination with previously findings, imply that chimpanzees
may have lived both in and out of refugia during periods
when tropical forest were restricted to refugia. This
interpretation is consistent with the notion of chimpanzees
as an extraordinarily vagile species, capable of maintaining
gene flow across habitat mosaics of forest, woodland,
and savannah.

Gorilla Population in Rio Muni Region, Equatorial Guinea.
Folia Zoologica 46, no. 1: 15-22.
Abstract: Gorillas are one of the most vulnerable primates
in the world. There are few areas in the African continent
where this species survives, and West African coast areas
around the Biafra gulf are one of these. A census was
made of gorilla populations throughout the Rio Muni region
in Equatorial Guinea between July 1989 and December 1990.
The aim of the census was to estimate the total numbers
of this species in relation with its distribution on Rio
Muni region. The method was based on nest counts along
strip transects which allowed the calculation of population
densities of nesting adult individuals. A total of 385
km of transects was sampled in areas inhabited by gorillas.
The overall density calculated for transects in Rio Muni
was 0.45 nesting gorilas/km(2). The highest densities
were found in the Rio Campo area (0.71 ng/km(2)) of northwestern
Rio Muni, and in the Nsork area (0.65 ng/km(2)) of southeastern
Rio Muni. The vegetation type where nest groups were predominantly
found was heliofilic forest. The average densities of
the gorilla population found in Rio Muni were similar
to those found in neighbouring Gabon and Congo. The estimated
size of the gorilla population in Rio Muni stands between
1000 and 2000 individuals.

in Africa South of the Sahara. Belgian Journal of Zoology

Abstract: There are many vector-borne diseases in Africa
which cause a heavy toll in human morbidity, mortality,
economic loss and suffering. Plague remains endemic in
several countries in Africa; 1,269 cases of plague were
reported in Africa in 1994 and these represent 43.2% of
the 2,935 human cases of plague from all the world and
50% of the mortality. The 6 countries which have reported
human cases of the disease as recently as 1994 are Madagascar,
Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zaire and Zimbabwe. Natural
foci of the infection remain in others.However, in addition
to plague, other infections and human diseases with rodent
reservoirs account for a great deal of morbidity and mortality
in Africa though little actual data are available on the
number of cases. The rodent-borne infections include the
virus diseases Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic
fever, and, possibly Rift Valley fever. Bacterial infections
include brucellosis, leptospirosis, plague, rat-bite fever,
tick-borne relapsing fever and tularemia. Rickettsial
infections are common and include murine typhus, tick
typhus, Q-fever. There are also several helminthic infections
which may be passed from rodents to man and the most important
of these is schistosomiasis. One must take into account
the fact that serious rodent depredations on man's foodstuffs
can also lead to malnutrition.

Distinct Habitats. Journal of Mammalogy 80, no.

Abstract: Small-mammal diversity and abundance were examined
in two primary forests (mixed and mbau forests) and two
disturbed habitats (secondary forest and village fields)
in the Ituri Forest of Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo).
Small-mammal species observed were Deomys ferrugineus,
Hybomys univittatus, Hylomyscus stella, Lophuromys flavopunctatus,
Malacomys longipes, Mns minutoides, Oenomys hypoxanthus,
and Praomys jacksoni. Secondary forest was the most species-rid
of the four habitats examined. Mixed forest exhibited
significantly higher species diversity of small mammals
than mbau forest. The difference in the composition of
small mammals reflected the difference in the composition
of tree species between species-rich (mixed and secondary)
forests and the species-poor (mbau) forest. Small mammals
in village fields were not true forest species but typically
were found in a wide variety of habitats. This study provides
a benchmark of the ecology of small mammals in the Ituri
Forest of Zaire prior to increased human disturbance.

Abstract: This report updates the distribution and provides
abundance estimates for Grauer's gorilla Gorilla gorilla
graueri across its 90,000-sq-km range. The authors divide
the range of Grauer's gorilla into four regions within
which they identify 11 populations and estimate a total
of c. 16,900 individuals. Gorillas found in the Kahuzi-Biega
lowland-Kasese represent 86 per cent of the subspecies's
total population. Further, approximately 67 per cent of
known Grauer's gorillas inhabit Kahuzi-Biega, Maiko and
Virunga National Parks. The eastern region of the Democratic
Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) has an extremely high
human population growth rate indicating that deforestation
and wildlife use trends will continue to increase. Thus,
in spite of the encouraging results of surveys to identify
populations and characterize abundance, no Grauer's gorilla
population should be considered safe from extirpation.

1998. Survey of Grauer's Gorillas (Gorilla Gorilla Graueri)

in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park Lowland Sector and Adjacent
Forest in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. International
Journal of Primatology 19, no. 2: 207-35.
Abstract: We describe the distribution and estimate densities
of Grauer's gorillas (Gorilla gorilla graueri) and eastern
chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthi) in a 12,770-km(2)
area of lowland forest between the Lowa, Luka, Lugula,
and Oku rivers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo,
the site of the largest continuous population of Grauer's
gorillas. The survey included a total of 480 km of transects
completed within seven sampling zones in the Kahuzi-Biega
National park lowland sector and adjacent Kasese regions
and approximately 1100 km of footpath and forest reconnaissance.
We estimate total populations of 7670 (4180-10,830) weaned
gorillas within the Kahuzi-Biega lowland sector and 3350
(1420-5950) individuals in the Kasese survey areas. Within
the same area, we estimate a population of 2600 (1620-4500)
chimpanzees. Ape nest site densities are significantly
higher within the Kahuzi-Biega lowland sector than in
the more remote Kasese survey area in spite of a significantly
higher encounter rate of human sign within the lowland
sector of the park. Comparison of our data with information
obtained by Emlen and Schaller during the first rangewide
survey of Grauer's gorillas in 1959 suggests that gorilla
populations have remained stable in protected areas but
declined in adjacent forest. These findings underscore
the key role played by national parks in protecting biological
resources in spite of the recent political and economic
turmoil in the region. We also show that forest reconnaissance
is a reliable and cost-effective method to assess gorilla
densities in remote forested areas.

Abstract: The relationship between vegetation and ranging
patterns of wild bonobos at Wamba, Democratic Republic
of the Congo, was examined. Via Landsat data, we distinguished
three types of vegetation-dry forest, swamp forest, and
disturbed forest-at Wamba. The home ranges of the study
groups changed considerably from year to year, due mainly
to intergroup relationships. The population density of
each group varied between 1.4 and 2.5 individuals per
km(2) and was lowest during a period of population increase.
Home ranges consisted mainly of dry forest. The bonobos
used dry forest more frequently than the other forest
types, though they also used swamp and disturbed forest
almost every day. The latter types of forest seemed to
be important resources for the bonobos, owing to the abundant
herbaceous plants that are rich in protein and constantly
available, The bonobos tended to use dry forest more frequently
in the rainy season than in the relatively dry season,
probably because the favored fruits in the dry forest
were mostly available in the rainy season. There was no
seasonal difference in the size of the daily ranging area.

Abstract: This paper discusses the infectious agents and
chemical substances potentially capable of contaminating
the meat of ostriches and crocodiles and which thus pose
a danger to human handlers and consumers.For ostrich meat,
there is no danger from Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever
or spongiform encephalopathy. Contamination of ostrich
meat with salmonellae, chlamydia, pasteurellae, mycobacteria
and erysipelas might be possible, but has never been reported.
No parasites are known which could be transmitted through
ostrich meat to human consumers. Residues from growth
hormones, antibiotics and acaricides are potential public
health hazards.For crocodile meat, there is a distinct
possibility of contamination with salmonellae, depending
on housing, feed, slaughter technique and hygiene practices
under which the animal is reared. Chlamydial infections
are common on some crocodile farms in southern Africa.
Mycobacteriosis is extremely rare. Tapeworm cysts have
been found in crocodile meat in two cases only. Trichinellosis
has been reported on several crocodile farms in Zimbabwe.
A generalised coccidiosis with invasion of organs and
tissues has been seen, in several species of crocodiles,
but should present no danger to consumers.

Africanus, Gray, 1842) as a Food Animal. A Review. Biodiversity
and Conservation 7, no. 11: 1417-26.
Abstract: The brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus africanus)
is a hystricomorph rodent, which frequents the forests
of West and Central Africa. With an average weight of
3 kg, it is a favourite source of meat for urban and rural
populations of Gabon, Nigeria, Cameroon or Congo. Hunted
in large quantities, its price is often higher than that
of other game or domestic animals. Although its current
productivity in captivity is limited to a single young
per birth and two to three births per year per female,
this species could be a good candidate for minilivestock
programmes in African forest areas if its current reproductive
potential in captivity could be improved. Further research
should be encouraged on its biology and reproduction since
the current level of hunting for this species is probably
not sustainable. Captive breeding programmes could play
a role in assessing a better knowledge of the species'
biology, and in reducing the effects of intensive hunting
in areas where this activity is no longer sustainable.

Preliminary report on predatory behavior and meat sharing
in Tschego chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) in
the Ndoki Forest, Northern Congo. Primates.
Abstract: Predatory behavior of Pan t. troglodytes in
the Ndoki Forest was confirmed by both direct observation
and fecal evidence. Eight out of 214 fecal samples (3.7%),
collected during 16 months, contained vertebrate tissue.
The prey species were a terrestrial bird, two monkey species
including crowned guenon, a squirrel, and probably a pangolin.
This rate suggested that predation in the Ndoki population
can occur as frequently as in other populations. Chimpanzees
were also directly observed to eat an infant crowned guenon,
a hornbill, and a duiker. An adult female used a branch
apparently in an attempt to drive out a hornbill from
its nest hole, though no bird was observed to come out.
Chimpanzees were attracted to meat, and were observed
begging and sharing over the meat. Predatory behavior
is common to Pan and Homo, but not to Gorilla, implying
that the common ancestor of the former two genera acquired
this behavior after separating from gorillas
