bed or cushion Make bed or cushion on ground for daytime rest, by bending over few shrubs or grasses. Mahale chimpanzees make no ground beds for overnight use, but those of Nimba sometimes spend night on ground bed probably because of lack of predators, or as mate-guarding. Also, ground beds seem to be used for overnight sleeping at Kalinzu, with few large carnivores. See video. 119 M 120 marrow-pick make leaf cushion Hirata et al.s Leaf cushion: Use leaves as cushions to sit on wet ground. Whiten et al.s Seat vegetation.

See video. mop ant with leaves Wipe away Camponotus ants with crumpled leaves. Observed only once for K group female, Chausiku. moralistic aggression See aggress morally. mother-offspring relations Mother and offspring spend most time together throughout infancy and juvenility. Since son remains in natal group throughout life, mother-son relationship lasts |
until either of them dies. By contrast, since daughter usually emigrates from natal group and never returns, mother-daughter relationship terminates abruptly around 11 years of daughters age. Moukalaba Study area of Pan troglodytes troglodytes in Moukalaba-Doudou National Park, Gabon. Research organized by J. Yamagiwa from 2003 to present. mount Embrace another with arms from behind. Goodall: Part of the ventral surface of the mounter is in contact with part of the dorsal surface of mount in copulation 123 the other, and the mounter leans forward over the other, usually grasping him/her.

Goodall lists |
as synonyms: Dorso-ventral embrace, Mounting embrace or Mount-embrace. Perhaps, Kortlandts Sham copulation. Plooijs MOU, de Waals Mount. Males and females mount. Mounting occurs, especially among adult males, during high social excitement such as reunion of rival males, in which each rival male mounts adult male or female, and both participants often scream or pant-scream. Usually bipedal with pelvic thrusts. Appears to function as self-reassurance, reassurance, recruitment of coalition partners, etc. In bonobos, mounting occurs in similar contexts such as appeasement and easing of tension, but posture differs, so that mounted individual usually stands quadrupedal.

Non-vocal panting sometimes occurs when chimpanzees are grooming each other, during greeting, etc. Sometimes, when the mouth is closed, only breathing sounds are heard. The best indication of panting is the quick rhythmic movements of the body that accompany it. Bonobos pant in play, but not in other contexts? 3. See video. pant-bark Goodall: Series of bark-like sounds joined by voiced inhalations. See also bark. Status unknown in bonobos. 3. See |

A subordinate greeting a dominant often gives pant hoots and pant grunts Higher-ranking males pant-hoot more often than lower-ranking ones. Chimpanzees advertise their presence and numerical strength to rival groups. At Mahale adult males also pant hoot when agonistic confrontations are continuing, in which pant hoots function as vocal threat. Pant-hoots have four stages: introduction, build-up, climax and let-down, but females lack climax and let-down stages. Elements of pant-hoot calls vary between Mahale |
and Gombe. Exact bonobo version of pant-hoot absent, but Kanos Waa call, or Okayasus Hoot may be homologous to pant-hoot.
