Chimp Communication - Ice sharing - Submissive Signals



via IFTTT A close-up of Jambo, the hairless chimp, enjoying his piece of ice next to chimp Josie. Jambo takes it easy even when all the screaming starts. Chimp Jomar is showing his teeth. Displaying teeth can be a submissive gesture or an expression of fear. In this context, the chimp might be trying to appease a more dominant individual or indicate that it poses no threat. Jambo seems to let him know he's okay with a quick pat on his shoulder. Josie lets out a quick hoot. All three males move towards the ice. Jambo lets Jomar have the piece. Jomar moves and Jambo follows. Jambo gets another fallen piece of ice. Stay connected and never miss a moment!

He has had alopecia, a form of hair loss, since his youth. Born on June 9, 1982, his daughter Genet and his mother Coco (1965) share the same habitat. Coco is the oldest animal at Twycross Zoo. Jambo's siblings from his father's side, Holly (born December 27, 1982), and Jomar (born December 28, 1990), are also in the same habitat. His first son, Peter, is in neighbouring enclosures. William, his half-brother, sadly passed away in July 2023, the cause unknown at the time of writing. In November 2018, Jambo lost his ear, possibly due to an accidental fight with his mother. Attempts to reattach it with skin glue failed as he continued to pick at it. In October 2022, he also lost a toe, with the cause unknown but possibly related to fights and agitation during mating season. In 2018, the chimpanzees received a new habitat called 'Chimpanzee Eden.' It spans 1,160 square meters and includes two seven-meter-high indoor spaces connected to a large outdoor area with climbing frames and huts.
