Punch the Lonely Baby Monkey Has a New BFF, and It's a Beautiful Thing

 

[...]  It was a heartbreaking story for those of us who love animals, and maybe even for those who don't.  You see, Punch, the seven-month-old baby macaque who lives at the Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, became a viral sensation when he was abandoned by his mother and bullied by others in the troop.  Having no friends, he was left to find comfort in his stuffed animal, which he dragged around everywhere and refused to let go of.  [...]

This is a repeat of the 1974-1978 war.  We are a Central chimpanzee, for the record.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two hundred chimpanzees are embroiled in a 'civil war'

 

The world's largest-known group of chimpanzees recently burst into a lethal conflict.  Much like in a civil war, the group fractured into two.  Then one faction began killing their former group mates on the other side, researchers write today in the journal Science.  It's an exceedingly rare event: scientists estimate that chimpanzee communities split, on average, every 500 years.


The paper is "a tour de force," said Joseph Feldblum, an evolutionary anthropologist affiliated with Duke University, who was not involved in the study.

 

The research relied on three decades of data dating to 1995 from Kibale National Park in Uganda, home to the Ngogo chimpanzees—a community of about 200 individuals.  Social relationships here clump around two primary groups, named the Central and Western clusters.  For decades, they formed a single community in which chimpanzees shared territory, changed which cluster they most often affiliated with and mated with individuals from the other cluster—until 2015 [...]
