Fig. 10 Disperse seed: Seeds of fruit recovered from chimpanzee feces display as contest When male does charging display, more dominant male rushes up and displays against him. May elicit displays by more dominant males, and chain display away 59 may continue up to five individuals. If final displayer is alpha male, display contest ends. 7. See video. display away Goodall: After interaction with another, usually an attack, the chimp departs in a charging display. Seen in bonobos. display, charging Plooij Charging display. Goodall s description of Charging display is modified here. May move in slow rhythmic gait, run at moderate speed or very fast. Display patterns
include scratch dead leaves, drag branch, shake branch and sway woody vegetation, bristle, compress lips, slap, stamp, slap-stamp, flail, throw, drum, rake, swagger, bipedal and pant-hoot. May be bipedal, quadrupedal, or tripedal. Typically male display though some females do it also. Goodall discriminated Non-vocal and Vocal displays. The former when displayer makes no calls, tends to be directed toward another individual, and may be followed by attack. It is typical component of male dominance rivalry. Vocal display is accompanied by pant-hoot and typically not directed toward any other chimpanzee. Common during reunions, food excitement and when individual has been frustrated in obtaining desired goal. At Gombe, charging display is sometimes followed by beat chest, but not at Mahale. Bonobos charging display is accompanied by charge, stamp, and sometimes
by drag branch. See video. display past Goodall: When a chimp, who is clearly directing a display toward another, passes close, and may hit or kick the other in passing. In 1995 at Mahale, two adult males regularly hit human observers during charging displays. Seen in bonobos. 5. display, rain Goodall Rain display or Rain dance. At Mahale, two types of displays occur at onset or during heavy rain or storms. Not directed at other individuals. One is a noisy, active display accompanied by pant-hoot, charge, run bipedal, stamp etc. Other is prolonged, slow tempo display, of which main components are sway woody vegetation, shake branch, run bipedal, climb rapidly, brachiate and leap. Customary at Gombe, Mahale, Kibale, and habitual at Ta and Budongo. At start of storms
or heavy rain, adult male bonobos may run few meters while calling loudly, but no other activities such as those of chimpanzees occur. 3. See video. display, streambed Charging display done in water course. Goodalls Stream bed displays resemble rain displays but occur in streambeds. Goodalls Waterfall display probably should be included here.

Widely known across Africa: Ndoki, Bossou, Ta, Lop, Gombe, Mahale, Kibale, Budongo and Goualougo. In bonobos of Wamba, branch-dragging displays have many more behavioral elements than those of chimpanzees. Late adolescent male bonobos use display to tease and to challenge males higher in rank. Bonobos sometimes drag branch while walking without stamping or vocalizing. Bonobos of Lomako also drag branch. See video. drag by hand Goodall: Drag by hand along ground individual, branch, palm frond, large food object, etc. Shown in aggression, threat, play, and maternal solicitude. Plooijs Drag. Bonobos of Wamba drag only

Youngsters in play repeat sequence of climbing and dropping.
Occasionally fall occurs accidentally when branch breaks. Cf. leap down and fall. See video. drum Component of charging display. Goodall: Hit and/or kick tree trunks, especially those with buttresses. Often they grab the buttress with their hands and stamp on it with their feet. They may kick backwards with their feet or hit the trunk or buttress with their hands. Often a particular drumming tree triggers a drumming display and the individuals of a traveling group are likely to drum one after the other as they pass. Usually drumming is accompanied by the pant-hoot call, but sometimes drumming is without vocalization. Chimps at Gombe also pound on the walls of research buildings and on a barrel placed at the feeding area. Plooij Drum. Mahale chimpanzees do same. Drumming
patterns vary individually. For example, one male stands erect and beats walls of research buildings with only one palm, another does so with two palms, third one with one fist, fourth one kicks with one foot, and fifth one pounds with both feet. See also kick and slap. D 4 dunk face Drumming reported from Kibale and Ta. Bonobos drum on buttresses, most often immediately after onset of traveling. Cf. beat chest. See video.
