🐋🪞 In a new study, two #beluga #whales at a #NewYork #aquarium showed possible self-recognition in a mirror – one even pressing a mark behind her ear against the reflective surface.
The results place belugas alongside #chimpanzees, #dolphins, #elephants, and maybe #magpies on a short list of species that pass. But scientists disagree on what the test actually proves, and the debate itself raises deeper questions about animal #consciousness.

Day 3: Remaining on the topic of chimpanzees, it seems that among their many similarities to humans is also their ability to engage in organized warfare. I find the topic quite sad, so won't expand on it here, but if you'd like to know more, I'll leave the Wiki links to two prominent chimpanzee wars.

Day 2: It's likely that you've heard about Jane Goodall by now. She was a pioneer in studying the behavior of primates and demonstrated that chimpanzees share many traits with humans (like using tools or passing down knowledge from generation to generation). But did you know that she was also the first to assign names to chimps instead of numbering them? The latter was standard practice as it avoided anthropomorphizing the animals, so her decision to name them was highly controversial at the time. In the end, it worked out. To date, she remains the only human ever accepted into the chimp society.

2/
For two decades, researchers observed the group of Ngogo chimpanzees spend their days eating fruits and leaves, resting, traveling and grooming. But this stable community then fractured and descended into years of deadly violence. The researchers are now describing the first clearly documented example of a group of wild chimpanzees splitting into two separate factions, with one launching a series of coordinated attacks against the other. -

#bonobos #chimpanzees #gender #aggression
"Despite their contrasting reputations, bonobos and chimpanzees show similar levels of aggression in zoos.
Chimpanzees have a reputation for being aggressive, while bonobos are often seen as their peaceful counterparts. This contrast has frequently been used to explain different sides of human nature. However, a new study by Utrecht University behavioural biologists Emile Bryon, Edwin van Leeuwen, Tom Roth and international colleagues shows that, in zoos, chimpanzees are not more aggressive than bonobos. The study was published today in the scientific journal *Science Advances*.
The team of researchers compared the occurrence of aggressive behaviours in 22 zoo-housed groups of chimpanzees and bonobos. While no difference was found in overall aggression, the team did find that the two sister species differ in how the aggression is distributed. Bryon: 'In chimpanzees, aggression mainly comes from males and is directed at everyone. In bonobos, aggression comes from everyone but is mostly directed at males.'”

BBC: Chimpanzees in Uganda locked in vicious 'civil war', say researchers
"...The world's largest known group of wild chimpanzees has split and been locked in a vicious "civil war" for the last eight years, according to researchers.
It is not clear exactly why the once close-knit community of Ngogo chimpanzees at Uganda's Kibale National Park are at loggerheads, but since 2018 the scientists have recorded 24 killings, including 17 infants.
"These were chimps that would hold hands," lead author Aaron Sandel said. "Now they're trying to kill each other."..."

"Inside deadly chimp ‘civil war’ in Uganda—What they reveal about human nature
Since 2018 , researchers have recorded 24 killings, including 17 infants
Deep in the lush canopy of Uganda’s Kibale National Park, a decades-long peace has shattered, giving way to a brutal and vicious 'civil war' that mirrors the darkest chapters of human history.
For over 20 years, the Ngogo chimpanzees, the largest community of wild chimps ever recorded, flourished as a close-knit community.
Now, the researchers have officially documented the first clear yet unsettling struggles of power and survival ongoing among this community. As a result, two warring factions, Western and Central, have emerged, locking in a brutal civil war for 8 years.
What makes the scientist surprised is the intensity and frequency of conflicts. This is no longer a brawl or a simple split; it has turned into a series of coordinated and lethal raids in which one group targeted the other, resulting in deaths of males and infants.
As per researchers, since 2018 they have recorded 24 killings, including 17 infants. But, they are clueless about the reason behind the ongoing chip conflict.
'Biting, pounding the victim with their hands, dragging them, kicking them - mostly adult males, but sometimes adult females participate in the attacks,' said University of Texas primatologist Aaron Sandel, lead author of the study published in the journal Science.
'These were chimps that would hold hands. Now they're trying to kill each other,' Sandel added."

Probably they are influenced by their Human cousins. /s Although they are much less lethal.
The Guardian: *Wild chimpanzees recorded waging ‘civil war’ with coordinated attacks between two groups*
"New study describes what may be the first case of a unified community of chimps, in Uganda, turning on itself"
"On a June day in 2015, primatologist Aaron Sandel was quietly observing a small cluster of the Ngogo chimpanzee group in Uganda’s Kibale national park when he noticed something strange. As other members of the chimpanzees’ wider group moved closer through the forest, the chimpanzees in front of him began to display nervous behaviour. They grimaced and touched each other for reassurance, acting more like they were about to meet strangers than close companions.
In hindsight, Sandel said, that moment was the first sign of what would become a years-long bloody conflict between a once close-knit group of chimps. …"
